We have had a great experience with Frisella. They have been professional and shown great attention to detail, making our landscaping project look great! Paola was excellent in listening to our ideas and bringing them to life in her designs, Robert worked with us to bring irrigation and lighting to our project and Greg oversaw the project, making sure that each aspect was done as we had envisioned it. I highly recommend them.

Frisella Landscape Group is such a fabulous group of people to work with. We can't begin to say enough wonderful things about every department we encountered. There workmanship is impeccable and if something isn't right, they will most certainly make sure it is taken care of to your satisfaction. This is the second project we contracted with Frisella and, again, they didn't disappoint. They did our back yard a few years ago and now we had them do the front. My husband is a retired architect and he came up with the design and they followed it to a tee and made additions that made it even better. This is the second time we've worked with their wonderful designer, Paola Behner. We can't say enough wonderful things about her. She's a keeper!! We'd also like to send a shout out to Greg, the Project Manager, Jimmy Frisella, Courtney Swift and Megan Bennet. The landscape crew headed by Jesus are wonderful craftsmen and so conscientious, kind and thoughtful. We'd also like to give a special "thank you" to Robert Karleskint for doing such a wonderful job designing the lighting and the irrigation system. He's not only good at what he does but has the kindest of hearts. He, too, is another "keeper!" We'd also like to thank the owner, Tony Frisella, (I hope I remembered his first name properly) for stopping by to inspect the work that was done. You could tell he genuinely cares about the quality of work that is performed and his workers. You could tell they were all family and it showed by the professionalism, craftsmanship and kindness that was extended to us. If you're looking for a wonderful company for your next landscape project, look no further than Frisella Lanscape Group. We can guarantee you'll be glad you did.

Chano and Andrew are here now. They have solved a problem that has been plaguing me for almost two years. The fix was fast, inexpensive and ingenious. I cannot comment on cost, I live in an apartment who contracted Frisella. If you are stimied about a landscape issue, request Chano, he is a real problem-solver.
