5-Star Reviews

"We hired Defeo's Landscaping for a large paver patio. Mike came by a couple of times to explain everything, we were very happy with the design work and price. His crew came out a couple of weeks later and knocked out the job in just over a week. David ran the crew and boy did those guy's hustle, they were very professional, courteous and they gave us exactly what we were looking for. Great company."

"DeFeo's was amazing to work with! They did a patio and small outdoor kitchen project for us, including seeding the lawn and we had them back for a fall cleanup and they were well-priced, communicative and prompt. We've moved and are doing a similar project out-of-state at our new place and miss DeFeo's expertise and attention to detail already, though they are still helping us with information from our old project to influence our new one---amazing!"

"I just had DeFeo Landscaping design and install my backyard paver patio and completely redo my front flower bed and I could not be happier! From the design to the install, it was a completely stress-free experience. Mike, Linda, Dave and their excellent crew were outstanding. Workers were the nicest guys, prompt, hardworking, neat and respectful. If I had any concern regardless of how minor it was (and I really had no issues) someone addressed asap. I would HIGHLY recommend DeFeo for any project someone might contemplating."

"After receiving quotes to take down our old deck and install a larger paver patio/sitting wall from several companies- we made the best decision to hire Defeo Landscaping for the job. Mike Defeo's professionalism and partnership was what we needed and we loved his creative ideas to bring our dream to life. He laid out the sometimes confusing permit with ease and made recommendations to help us stay within budget. Then the install team with Dave Defeo's leadership was amazing. They started on time, showed up every day until the job was completed; which was very welcomed! We could not be happier with the finished product and can't wait to enjoy our backyard renovation for years to come."

Why Hillsborough Home Properties Deserves Expert Landscape Design Care

Hillsborough Township is known for its blend of suburban comfort and scenic open space, with more than 11,400 privately owned homes—making up over 84% of housing in the area. Most properties here are spacious, with the average household size around 2.8 people, and nearly one-third of households hosting four or more family members. With development peaking between 1970 and 2000, many Hillsborough homes were built in the late 20th century, giving the local housing stock a relatively modern yet established feel.​

These property characteristics shape the landscaping needs of local homeowners. Wide yards and maturing landscapes create opportunities for custom design, hardscaping, and outdoor living upgrades, while the age of many homes means there’s often room to refresh curb appeal and enhance outdoor functionality. Homes in Hillsborough are an investment—professional landscape design not only beautifies but also elevates comfort, entertainment space, and property value, uniquely suiting the character and aspirations of this thriving community.
