Nothing but positive things to say regarding Frank and the Almost Perfect Landscaping crew. From the initial consultation to job completion, Frank was a pleasure to work with. He offered planting recommendations that fit into our budget and was very accommodating to our needs and aesthetic preferences. Knowing little to nothing about landscape design, it was refreshing to work with an experienced professional with a wealth of knowledge about plant varieties, growing/branching habits, susceptibilities to local wildlife, and plant placement/design concepts. Moreover, the Almost Perfect crew was a model of professionalism with the entire installation being completed in one day with impeccable clean-up afterwards! And it was 95 degrees plus outside. The final product (front, side, and backyard flower beds) was classic, neat, layered, and visually stunning--no longer the eyesore of the block! Couldn't be more pleased! :) read more

Absolutely perfect landscaping service there is. The property looks beautiful, flowers bloom in all the beds, grass is green, no weeds and Frank is most responsive to my needs. Highly recommend. read more

Frank and crew did a great job in de-cluttering my overgrown front and rear garden that was professionally designed over 10 years ago. He used a combination of relocating existing plantings, planted new and cutting back several overgrown shrubs to create a wonderfully new design. Their service was prompt, reasonable and professional. Will definitely use in my future landscaping project BL read more

Frank and his team are heaven sent! Moving from the city to the suburbs left me with little knowledge in taking care of my lawn, muddy patches in my yard, and hours and hours of my life wasted maneuvering an electric lawnmower. Almost Perfect shows up like clockwork, handles the lawn and garden, seasonal plantings, and even weeding my garden beds as needed. The redesign of my front lawn exceeded my expectations and I can honestly say that I love pulling up to my home after work to see my beautiful, flower laden front yard. Customer for life! read more

Frank and his team is top notch. 100% professional and will work with your budget. In addition to our lawn maintenance, APL worked their magic on our front planter. Totally revamped the look of the front of the house and couldn't be happier with it. read more

Almost Perfect Landscaping - Landscaping Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

We switched to Almost Perfect Landscaping this year after over 20 years with the same landscaper and I wish we did it sooner. Almost Perfect have done a great job relandscaping around the house. Frank really took the time to walk us through our options at home and at several local plant nurseries. The work was done on time and he's been very responsive to any questions we have had since the project. We can finally see our front porch again and the lawn looks great! read more

Frank was helpful and gave a lot of suggestions. He's very knowledgeable and easy to work with. We are very happy with the results!

I honestly had one of the best experiences when it comes to landscaping with Frank and his Team. They responded to my inquiry very quickly. Frank personally came to my home to inspect and discuss the project that I wanted to do. He explained to me all the diff options and variables that we may encounter. He provided me with an estimate very quickly, very competitive prices. They then started the job in less than a week. The Team came (4 strong hardworking gentlemen) led by Martine I believe, who is a very intelligent guy himself. Martine measured like a champion and made me feel very comfortable. It poured for 1-2 hours during the job and the Team worked THROUGH THE STORM. Incredible. Sounded like they have a good time working together as well. I would recommend this company and Frank to anyone in my network. I will most likely use their services again. Almost Perfect Lanscaping will forever be remembered everytime I look out into the yard. read more

Almost Perfect Landscaping - Emerald Arborvitaes - Landscaping Near Me - Paramus, New Jersey

I was a satisfied customer of Almost Perfect Landscaping since 2016. They did not send me 2021 maintenance contract, and upon inquiry I found out that they dropped me as a customer without notification. read more

Frank makes a good first impression. He also charges a lot. I thought for that much money I'd get a careful pruning, a professional job; instead I got a quick, random chopping that left our trees looking ugly. The trees ended up with branches that looked hacked off, not pruned. And it certainly wasn't worth the price I was charged. I calculated that for the number of workers and the time they spent, I ended up paying about $140 per person per hour! Our entire mint patch was destroyed, instead of just the weeds. Bushes were whacked but dead underbrush was left.  One entire side of bushes was neglected. I noticed it while the workers were still onsite and when I pointed it out, the "project manager" tried to tell me these bushes were on my neighbor's property. (They clearly weren't and after some insistence he wacked those too.) Frank called to follow up and when I mentioned some areas that needed more work, he promised to take care of it. That never happened and he called back a couple of weeks later to tell me he was too busy (and to provide some strange payment instructions which I won't go into here) and that they'd take care of it two months later during the "fall cleanup".  Needless to say I won't be paying his ridiculous prices to have someone blow our leaves away which, I found out when I asked, is what a "fall cleanup" means. read more

Almost Perfect Landscaping took my yard from tragic to fantastic! As a first time home owner, I think I was overly ambitious and confident that I could take care of all the yard work and upkeep on my own. After a few years, my place went from looking bad, to just plain sad. I do like doing some parts of yard work. But some other parts I was out of my league. Thankfully, we found Frank and his team from Almost Perfect Landscaping. Frank was very fair with us and flexible and willing to do just what we wanted done, allowing me to still do the things for my yard that I enjoy doing. We did not feel pressured and Frank did not to try to sell us on something we didn't want done. He even gave me some tips and guidance about the yard work that I wanted to keep doing on my own. When his crew of guys came through, they did an incredible amount of work in just a few hours. Clearing away sad dying shrubs, planting new ones, trimming & cleaning up overgrown hedges, reshaping new borders & edges of the plant beds, laying down bags & bags of mulch, clearing away overgrown weeds, cutting the grass, and laying down fertilizer - all in 1 day! And after the job was done, the clean up was spotless. You would not even think a crew of guys was even there earlier. If you live in Glen Rock, or around the region, I highly recommend Frank and his team at Almost Perfect Landscaping for any and all of your landscaping needs. read more

Frank and his team did an awesome job with the Spring cleanup, aeration, and overseeding service. I would highly recommend them for any landscaping needs. read more

Almost Perfect Landscaping may as well be referred to as "Perfect Landscaping" but the "Almost" must have been added by the owner, Frank, because he is just so humble. From my first message to his office, all the way to the final handshake was pure pleasure and ease. I reached out to Almost Perfect Landscaping at the beginning of the summer asking for help with my lawn but got a "sorry we are fully booked". My thoughts? Weird! Who says that??? I then decided to call other companies, none of which seemed like they knew a grass blade from a weed so I decided to try and do the lawn reno myself. ..... Fast forward 3 months = Mid August: Of course my lawn looks like ---- so I try my luck again with Almost Perfect Landscaping and I get the wonderful response "this is a perfect time to reach out to us for what you need done, we'll have someone call you" Shortly after, I get a phone call from an energetic gentleman, Frank. He asked me what I am trying to accomplish, I give him a brief overview and he says he'll stop by within a day. Frank called me back with an understanding of my property and had recommendations ready. I hired Frank + Almost Perfect Landscaping and was extremely impressed and pleased with the outcome. No need to hire a Landscape Architect, this guy has great plant and tree selection recommendations. Work was done while I was at work all in 1 day for an unbelievably fair price. His work is worth every penny. Just look at the pictures, it's all there! If you hire Almost Perfect Landscaping you will not be disappointed read more

Just installed new ground work for my entire property. Frank came to give an estimate and within 2 days he accommodated my schedule and ordered all the material needed for the job. I didn't think something like this could be done so quickly and professionally. Now my property looks so much better. Neighbors have even stopped by to comment. Definitely sticking with Almost Perfect for the long haul! No complaints here!!! read more

Frank and his Almost Perfect team did a fantastic job completely transforming our front yard.

After an exhaustive search of a landscape design company--I chose Almost Perfect Landscaping . The decision was well worth it! From the initial meeting with Frank , owner, he listened to my wants of an awesome landscape design and with his team, delivered just that. Frank was always there to listen to my questions and concerns. , Frank ,Landscape Designer listened intently to my desires and after our first meeting at the nursery and I knew Frank and his team would do a spectacular job!

The final project transformed my home into a place of serenity and peace.....a place I can't wait to come home to everyday!!!! Thank you, Frank & team!

Frank and his guys are the best. They care for the yard for my 89 year old Mom who takes great pleasure in it being perfect. Not just a well cut lawn, but mulch in the gardens, trimming, spring and fall clean up...they do it all. Great responsive service at fair prices. My Mom loves them. Courtney in the office is wonderful too! read more

Ok. I'll start by saying I am extremely picky about who I hire to do anything for me. I always get 3 estimates and even if you're the lowest price, if I don't like you...you're out. So in walks Frank. Oh, Frank. You stole my heart with your enthusiasm and ideas. From moment one, he knew that my (large) property was going to be an ongoing project. I wanted privacy trees planted along a side yard fence. A lot of them. 17 to be exact. But he was on board with, supported and even embellished upon my wants of all different evergreens with some deciduous trees. He led me through a nursery to choose trees (with my two kids, mind you) and then to his moms house to see how her layout/backdrop of different trees were. It was beautiful and very close to what I was looking to achieve. On to the planting. 17 trees were planned out, planted and mulched within 2 days. They look fabulous and I know that they will grow into a beautiful privacy screen. He added root hormones (which he swears by) to initiate the process of the roots taking to the surrounding soil. Any of the damage from the trucks bringing the trees in was raked and seeded for repair. The price was reasonable and the work was fantastic. All in all, I highly recommend Frank and his team. I'm thrilled to have found my go-to-forever landscaping company. read more

Disappointed - The work that was done by the crew was fine, however, one section of the backyard still has not been completed - In addition, we told the owner numerous times that we needed cedar chips - not mulch - in the dog run area, and ended up with mulch - I would like to be able to see the work completed as requested and, at that time, will be pleased to update this review . . . Thank you - read more

I am originally from NYC and as I told Frank and his team in my initial call "I don't do Lawns." I reached out to several landscapers based on referrals or just by seeing their vehicles pass on the street. Thankfully my daughter spotted Almost Perfect's truck while coming home on the bus one day. Frank and his team over at Almost Perfect have been nothing more than "Perfect" from returning my initial call to coming out and giving some much TLC to my home's lawn. My lawn looked so great that I don't even remember it looking so good before I purchased the house. The price was very reasonable. You won't go wrong choosing Almost Perfect; I know I didn't. read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! We had overgrown shrubs blocking most of our front/side yard. Frank and the Almost Perfect team did a wonderful job removing all of the large shrubs allowing more open space. We are now able to see how much potential our front yard has and will be using them in the near future for all of our landscaping needs. We highly recommend Frank and his team. Thank you for making such a huge difference to our front yard! read more

First, I usually don't write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so after my experience with APL. I reached out to Frank to do some work on my new home's backyard. Within a few hours of reaching out , he had contacted me and scheduled to come to my house (on a Saturday no less) to scope out the job. Frank was professional, friendly, and explained all my options to get the results I wanted. I was very impressed with his knowledge, and no pressure tactics. I was expecting a quote to be 4 to 5 times what he actually quoted me , and I was floored. Not only had he come in SO much under everyone else, he had 5 guys there 2 days later, and had the job 100% complete IN ONE DAY. I could not be more pleased. If you are looking to get some landscaping work done, do not hesitate to contact Frank and APL. He is cost effective, friendly , and fast! 100% Recommended. read more

Don't let their tongue-in-cheek name fool you, Frank Porter and his crew at Almost Perfect Landscaping are as close to perfect as one can get. We hired Almost Perfect to help us figure out how to turn a useless dirt hill in our backyard into an attractive landscape. Frank consulted with us numerous times before we pulled the trigger on the project - which required regrading a portion of our yard, adding a retaining wall and new decorative plantings, and planting new trees for a privacy screen. He not only considered the options for this project but also took into account future work that we have been considering to make sure we make the right long-term decision (for example, he helped us think through different suggestions based on future plans to re-do our deck vs. adding a patio). Frank also helped find numerous ways to reduce the cost of the project without reducing the overall scope, while still providing exactly the desired end result. Frank and his crew did a wonderful job of both adding beauty and functionality to our yard. Frank is endlessly reliable, a fun personality to work on a project with, and someone I look forward to working with again. read more

I will simply echo the other very positive reviews and say that Frank did a great job in giving us a vision of what we could achieve at a reasonable price and made it happen very quickly (within two days of our initial call. He is a very nice guy, a straight shooter and does quality work. He even came in slightly under his initial estimate after identifying some areas where we could trim costs with no loss in aesthetics. We got him on referral from trusted friends and were not disappointed. If you call him for your landscaping needs, neither will you. read more

Had a great experience working with Frank and his crew on a redesign of the landscaping in front and in back of our house. He is a real artist and really wants to co-create a vision with his clients, which I enjoyed (getting hands-on with the plant material, laying them out together, picking stuff out at the nursery together, etc.) That said, I'm sure he can adapt if you're the kind of client who just wants the landscaper to figure it out for you and give you an invoice, but that's not my preference. I'd suggest potential clients make it clear what their preferred way of collaborating is up front. All in all, this was a great experience and we've already gotten tons of compliments from neighbors on the job. read more

He put down an amazing new lawn where it was all destroyed by some bugs this summer.And it grew in about 2 weeks. That was impressive to me because we could not figure out all summer why the grass was dying. The fall clean up was ok. I didn't expect him to come to do fall clean up so early because it really wasn't necessary yet and he made an expectation of a couple weeks later. That might mean we would require an extra fall clean up session which is over $100 per session. I think because of his volume, it's not easy to keep track of who's who, but because he does a good job when he does it, I would continue to employ his service. read more

Frank Porter and Almost Perfect are as good as it gets. I had been through all of the "BIG" landscapers in our area and things always started out great and then after a while I was forgotten about. Frank has been giving me one on one attention for years. He has a short term and long term plan for your property at all times. He understands his clients, their needs and works with you on all aspects of landscape planning which includes the financial aspect. He's also a really nice guy. He always calls me back, he always does what he says he's going to do and he actually cares about doing a good job. You WILL NOT GO WRONG if you use Frank and his team. read more

In over 25 years as a homeowner, I have worked with many landscape contractors but none were as attentive as Frank and his crew at Almost Perfect Landscaping. It's the little things, such as receiving a prompt return phone call or email reply. Or getting a note telling me what was done and the name of the foreman on the job. And the big things, such as discussing what trees/shrubs/flowers I would like planted and where and then a short time later coming home to a job well executed! Frank "knows his stuff" and if he doesn't have an answer, he will do the research and get back to me. Recognizing that no one is always 100% perfect, Almost Perfect Landscaping lives up to its name. I highly recommend this company. read more

Read good reviews, called them for two estimates on my yard and my neighbors and they didn't call back within 24 hours so I gave them one more shot via email. Finally heard back via email that they are overbooked and not able to provide estimates. Maybe if it was a bigger job they would have been interested, who knows but fact is I had to track them down and that is never a good sign. Disappointed customers. read more

Literally can't say enough good things about Almost Perfect Landscaping! Virtually overnight, our yard had become such an overgrown, weed and vine laden mess that we didn't know where to begin. Other landscapers had been discouraging because it's a terraced, sloped, fairly hard to access, property. They said they can't get their machines back there and it would be too expensive and labor intensive to do all the planting & weeding by hand, etc... Then I found Frank! He immediately saw how beautiful our yard could be and exactly how to go about achieving it. He's really an artist, landscape architect, horticulturist and good businessman all rolled into one because he transformed our yard in a mere two visits (and one trip to the nursery with my husband) for a very reasonable price, especially considering all the work that was involved. We are so happy with Frank and Almost Perfect. It's so nice to work with someone as knowledgeable, enthusiastic and dedicated as Frank. Our once weed and vine-laden, unsightly mess of a yard is now lovely. Thank you, Frank!!! read more

Frank and his team did an amazingly job transforming our home. I just can't stop looking at the front of my home. Frank has an eye for the art of landscaping!! Frank is a pleasure to work with. No nonsense... on time on budget ! read more

Great communication with the owner, Frank, and we felt confident that he would do solid work even though this was our first time using him for such a large project. When he first came to our house, he knew he knew everything about every living thing in our yard. He gave us lots of advice and explained every step of the process. We had our entire backyard cleared of a mass amount of weeds, re-soiled, and reseeded. I would recommend! read more

Frank is an amazing landscaper. He walks the whole lawn and makes suggestions, which really improve the look of the lawn. He transformed our rather dull front yard into a beautiful garden. I would recommend him to everyone. read more
