Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read A 2023 customer said Grove Gardens Landscaping replaced a 20 foot retaining wall along their driveway in Madison. In that 2023 review, the customer said Gary came out to do the estimate himself, and that after one point of miscommunication he had a crew onsite within an hour to take care of it. A 2022 customer described a 2-day job that covered topsoil and re-seeding portions of the lawn, relocating a large boulder and gravel work, and said the foreman Pete was patient with their requests. In a 2013 review, a customer with a steep wooded hill said Rick from Grove Gardens proposed building the retaining walls from large boulders he had on hand, then sculpted the hill to create the terraces and reseeded everything. That 2013 customer also said they had to withhold the final payment to get him to come out for corrections. A 2017 customer said Gary used vintage bricks so the new walk "looks as if it has always been there." A 2015 customer said the initial job went fine, but after calling a year later about mulch and some plants, they never heard back. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0657994, as active, held by Grove Gardens Landscaping Inc. **Strengths:** - Retaining wall replacement — a 2023 customer said a 20 foot wall was replaced - Boulder retaining walls — a 2013 customer said Rick proposed a cost-effective boulder build - Vintage brick walk — a 2017 customer said Gary used vintage bricks **Concerns:** - Final corrections — a 2013 customer withheld final payment to get them - Follow-up requests — a 2015 customer never heard back about mulch ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A 2023 customer said Grove Gardens replaced a 20 foot retaining wall along their driveway in Madison _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNSeUx5WHJBRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xcd8daf205aed6d06!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgICRyLyXrAE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I had an excellent experience with Grove Gardens Landscaping in December 2022 when they replaced a 20 foot retaining wall along my drivew…” - A 2023 customer said that after a miscommunication Gary had a crew onsite within an hour _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNSeUx5WHJBRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xcd8daf205aed6d06!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgICRyLyXrAE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I had an excellent experience with Grove Gardens Landscaping in December 2022 when they replaced a 20 foot retaining wall along my drivew…” - A 2022 customer described topsoil, re-seeding, relocating a large boulder and gravel work over a 2-day job _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNlbW96RmxRRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xcd8daf205aed6d06!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgICemozFlQE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I hired GG for a 2-day job to take care of several things around my yard including topsoil & re-seeding portions of my lawn, relocating a…” - A 2013 customer said Rick built retaining walls from large boulders and terraced a steep hillside _(confidence: medium)_ - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ct/clinton/grove-gardens-landscaping-inc-reviews-6416667.htm) — “We have a steeply graded, wooded hill (45% slope over about 35 ft).

The project started and finished on time. The cost was very competitive. Nice touch: they re-seeded several bald areas in our lawn adjacent to the project. - **Angi · Sabra P. · 2015-12-01**: The initial job went fine; my issue is with follow up. I called a year later to ask for some mulch and also had a few plants that needed some help post replanting. was told that someone would come and an estimate and I would hear from them. I never did; called and left voicemail but gave up.

They worked diligently and finished on time as promised - **Angi · Sabra P. · 2013-10-01**: Other than a slight hiccup on scheduling (hence the B on punctuality/responsiveness), the work was very well done. the crew worked very hard even in extremely hot and humid weather conditions and everything looked (and still looks) great. I would definitely use them again; I would just be more proac… - **Angi · Edmond B. · 2013-06-01**: We have a steeply graded, wooded hill (45% slope over about 35 ft). We wanted to clean up the hillside so we could put a small shed at the top. We also wanted to place a terrace 1/2 up to accommodate a wood pile. We had the trees felled, trimmed, and sectioned by a friend.

They are also very good about explaining what plants work well and are deer-resistant and thrive in this area. This year, we wanted to try another type of mulch, but my husband didn't remember what we had be… --- Data freshness: last scanned 2026-10-14T09:12:14.096Z.
