A recent customer had HQ Landscaping build a stone wall that runs approximately 160 feet and said the results still look great more than a decade later. That customer has since had them back for a walkway, flower beds and, most recently, a patio with a firepit, and said Kurt and his son are hard-working. The company says it serves Southington, Bristol and surrounding towns, and it offers free estimates. A recent customer said HQ Landscaping worked at their home twice, each time coming by first to talk through the project and give a reasonable quote. A 2025 customer who started with Kurt Sr said the company is now in the hands of his son. That 2025 customer called with a time-sensitive job for a very ill family member who wanted to spend time in her garden, and said Kurt made it his next job and did the entire job on a Sunday. A 2025 customer said Mr. Holyst turned a backyard that was essentially dead and covered with debris into an area of grass for their dogs, and communicated by text or email while that customer was out of state. A 2025 customer said they tackled an entire front yard transformation quickly. A 2025 customer who had worked with KJ for 10 years described trimming 20 foot hedges, planting arborvitaes, flower gardens and installing a custom patio. In a 2025 review, a customer said Kurt and team did major clean up on overgrown areas with very mature trees and uncovered a stone path. A 2024 customer said the company removed an old, crooked garden border, replaced it with granite and followed with mulch. A 2024 customer said they asked for several appointments and the company never showed up.

“For now it’s going to HQ Landscaping in Southington, which is crushing it to make sub-base aggregate stone for drainage.”
HQ Landscaping is great. I've used them numerous times for projects at my home, and the quality of their work is outstanding every single time. I even refer them to my clients. The first project at my home involved building a stone wall for my wife and I that runs approximately 160 feet. What I appreciated most was that when I shared my ideas, they weren't afraid to explain the potential problems and suggested alternatives. I'm so glad I listened because more than a decade later the results still look great. Since then, I've had them back for a walkway, flower beds, and most recently a patio with a firepit. The work is simply excellent each time. Kurt is one of the easiest guys to get along with, and he and his son are extremely hard-working. I highly recommend HQ Landscaping to anyone.
I’ve had HQ Landscaping work at my home twice. Each time they came by to first talk through the project, give me a reasonable quote, and perform the work as expected. My property looks great and I am really pleased with the experience I had with HQ Landscaping! For any future work I’m going to make sure I give them a call.
HQ Landscaping knocked it out of the park! They tackled the entire front yard transformation quickly and efficiently, but without cutting any corners. The planning was professional and thoughtful—they took all of my suggestions into account and turned them into something even better than I imagined. The end result looks amazing and has completely elevated the curb appeal of my home. Worth every penny. The team is hardworking, easy to work with, and clearly takes pride in what they do. Highly recommend! Not to mention - Kurt is just a good kid with a good sense of humor.
I’ve been in town for 25 years and started with Kurt Sr who is a straight shooter and this company is now in the hands of his son who inherited his father’s work ethic. He also inherited his compassion and empathy. I called him with a time sensitive job due to a family member who is very ill and just wanted to spend whatever time she has left in her garden. Without hesitation, Kurt made us his next job and created a space for her to garden. (He did the entire job on a Sunday) Not that they would ever broadcast it, but I thought anyone looking for a landscaper should know the type of people you’re hiring when you go with this company.

Nothing but good things to say about working with Kurt and HQ Landscaping. We had arborvitaes installed along the back of our property, and couldn't be happier with how they look. You can tell they pay attention to the small details, and that really goes a long way with us. Top quality work, and great communication. We are so excited to see the growth, and would highly recommend working with Kurt and team.
