What Our Customers Are Saying

Having recently engaged Grasshopper Gardens for lawn treatment, I can confidently say their service exceeded my expectations. Their customer care team provided a helpful advance notification, and the lawn technician’s work was exceptional. My lawn has never looked better, and is healthy and vibrant.  The customer service is the best I’ve ever encountered, and any Grasshopper employees I’ve dealt with have always been courteous, knowledgeable, and responsive.  I wholeheartedly recommend Grasshopper Gardens to anyone in need of top-tier landscaping services.

“Jeremy is perfect representative for Grasshopper. Also, professional, answers questions with good explanations, and we just like him.”

Terri A. Default

Our yard was was completely damaged from a drainage install we had done and we have clay soil which is the absolute worse to deal with. We literally needed a whole new lawn installed from front to back. Grasshopper Gardens was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Whether I was speaking to someone from the office or the two men who came and did all the hard work, everyone was so professional and courteous. They did such an amazing job leveling out our yard (which was definitely not easy, even breaking up clumps of clay by hand) laying down the top soil, grading and then hydro seeding the whole thing. They came on time, worked hard the whole time they were here, respected my property and banged out the whole job in one day. I am so happy we chose them and will definitely continue to be a customer for years to come.

“We are very pleased with our first year of your lawn service. Looking forward to next year. Leroy has been very informative and is a great rep. of your company.”

Alice J. Default

We wanted a large back patio and fire pit living space for our home. We met with Parker Crossley of Grasshopper Gardens for the estimate. He listened carefully to what we had to say. He was like a guide that offered things to consider to ensure our final decision would be an educated one that fit what we really wanted. We were blessed and fortunate to have had Shannon (Project Team Lead/Supervisor) assigned to do our project. He was consistently careful to discuss all significant details with us before doing the work stages to ensure what he created fit with what we hoped to achieve. Everyone that we dealt with at Grasshopper Gardens had been pleasant, professional and very accommodating. The finished project was everything that we wanted and we are so happy with it. When we have another outdoor project to do – we will definitely be contacting Grasshopper Gardens.

Very impressed with the total company experience, from start to finish, and will certainly use them on all future projects.”

Year-Round Landscaping Care for Every Season

Professional landscape maintenance doesn’t stop when the weather changes. In spring, our team prepares your property with cleanup, mulching, flower bed restoration, and irrigation system activation to set the stage for healthy growth. Summer brings focused attention to lawn care, weed control, pruning, and keeping your outdoor living space in peak condition for entertaining. As fall arrives, we shift to leaf management, seasonal plantings, and preparing hardscape features and garden beds for colder temperatures. During the winter months, Grasshopper Gardens provides reliable snow management services to keep walkways, driveways, and patios safe and accessible. This consistent, season-by-season approach to property maintenance is what separates a good landscape from a great one. Our local expertise means we know exactly when to act on each step, giving Capital District homeowners a beautiful landscape that thrives all year long.
