This landscaper was a no show. signed contract and never came. Called twice and left messages, I even e-mailed and no response. Really don't know quality of work since didn't show. it's grass cutting. I do have a copy of the contract in doc u sign. so I'm not just another fraud review.

This company did a few thousands dollars worth of work for me a while back. The quality of the work was average. I didn't get the impression that they were a top quality landscaping outfit. There was also something kind of weird about the owner. He called me one evening begging me to pay him the remaining amount (after deposit) in cash. It wasn't a problem--luckily, I had the cash on hand--but it just came off as being super sketchy. Most landscapers in the Toms River area are either unprofessional, crappy, or a little odd. This is definitely one of them.

We were fortunate enough to select Robert Ott landscaping to level and grade our back yard and install Sod. We are beyond pleased with the results. Robert coordinated a sprinkler install and tree removal with hydro power sprinklers and professionally coordinated the work. We have a small yard which is simple in design in an over 55 community, but this definitely took it too a new level. Thank you!

My Doctor recommended Robert Ott Landscaping and I started using them 2021 for weekly lawn care and Fall cleanups. I could not be any happier. My lawn looks beautiful and you can tell it was cut and trimmed by a professional that takes pride in their work. Just recently had a Fall clean-up and they did a fantastic job there as well; trimming shrubs and removing fallen leaves. Every single one of the guys that showed up had a smile on their face and were just generally nice guys doing a great job. Again, very professional results.

Not a single leaf was left on my property nor the street in front of my house or on any neighbors property. My shrubs looked great and I definitely plan on having Robert Ott Landscaping do next years Spring/Fall clean-ups and weekly Lawn Care as well. I highly recommend Robert Ott Landscaping. Each and every employee I have been in contact with has been professional and kind. Ott Landscaping is reasonable, professional and does great work.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value The worst company and the owner is absolutely unprofessional. I spent almost $5,000 and the grass was dying since day 1. They made every excuse in the book. Disgraceful.

Bob was outstanding. He went out of his way to make sure I got the best trees for my landscaping job. I was very specific and he found them! He showed up on time, on the day promised and completed the job. Rosemarie in the office did everything she could to make it easier for me, as I don't live there full time. Thank you!
