Yes. All American Lawn & Landscape is fully insured with general liability coverage for every project, every crew member, and every piece of equipment on your property. We carry the documentation and can provide proof of insurance upon request.

We design and install a wide variety of hardscaping features including patios (paver, stamped concrete, natural stone), walkways and pathways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pool surrounds, stone veneer work, and paver driveways. We work with materials ranging from classic pavers to natural stone to suit your style and budget.

A typical residential patio takes 3 to 5 days from excavation to completion, depending on size, materials, and site conditions. This includes site preparation, base installation, compaction, paver or stone laying, and edge restraint. We will provide a specific timeline during your estimate based on your project scope.

In most Dutchess County municipalities, retaining walls over 4 feet in height require a building permit and engineering certification. Walls under 4 feet typically do not need a permit, but local codes vary. We handle the permitting process and can advise you during the estimate.

We operate a fleet of equipment sized for residential and light commercial work, including Takeuchi compact track loaders, mini excavators, and full-size excavators. This range allows us to work efficiently on both tight residential lots and large rural properties. Our equipment choices minimize damage to existing landscaping while maximizing productivity.

Absolutely. Many properties in Beekman, Stormville, and rural East Fishkill rely on private wells and septic systems. We are experienced with the required setback distances and use precise excavation techniques to avoid damaging underground infrastructure. We will locate all utilities before any digging begins.

Yard pooling is one of the most common issues we address. The solution depends on the cause: it could be a grading issue, high water table, or inadequate drainage. Evan will assess your property and recommend the right fix, which may include French drains, regrading, dry wells, or a combination of solutions. We start with a free assessment.

French drain costs vary based on length, depth, soil conditions, and access. A typical residential French drain in Dutchess County ranges from $25 to $50 per linear foot installed. We have completed projects from short 50-foot runs to 300-foot systems. Contact us for a specific quote based on your property.

Yes. We provide recurring lawn care services including weekly mowing, weed whacking, edging, and seasonal leaf removal. Many of our clients have been with us for multiple years. We can customize a program based on your property size and needs.

In the Hudson Valley, the ideal window for most landscaping and hardscaping projects is April through November. Spring is best for plantings and lawn installation. Summer and fall are ideal for hardscaping, drainage, and excavation work. We schedule year-round, weather permitting.

Our clients consistently tell us our quotes are competitive. One Google reviewer compared us against three other companies and chose us for both price and quality. We believe in "affordable luxury" — premium materials and expert installation at fair, transparent prices with no hidden fees.

It starts with a free on-site estimate where Evan personally assesses your property. You receive a same-day written quote with a clear scope of work. Once approved, we schedule the project (typically within 1 to 2 weeks), complete the work, and do a final walkthrough with you to make sure everything meets your expectations.

For larger projects (patios, excavation, drainage systems), we typically require a deposit before materials are ordered and work begins. The specific amount depends on the project scope and will be clearly outlined in your written quote. Smaller projects like lawn care and pressure washing do not require a deposit.
