In 1972, Brian Cooper was graduating Farmingdale College for Landscape Design, when he took a note off the school bulletin board with someone looking for a student to do a full landscape construction project for a gunite swimming pool. Although he was reluctant to take on such a large job fresh out of school, the homeowner offered to pay him on a daily basis and if it wasn't working out to part ways.
Brian recruited a friend as a helper and with no machinery, just hand tools, spent approximately 3 months completing the project. The pool company that built the pool, the largest on Long Island at the time, asked Brian to do all their brick work. They provided the opportunity for Brian to landscape additional homes with new pools, and gain more experience.

Jess from Londons came over to my house to help us plan our border garden. He did a beautiful job. The crew that came to install the plants did a great job as well. They left my yard looking neat and clean. Any question I have had since the instillation were answered promptly. I feel confident that if I needed them to correct something they would without hesitation. I will be installing another border garden in my front yard and London will absolutely be doing that one as well.

My husband and I had a great experience with Jesse! We were lacking landscaping in the front of our house for a few years and desperately needed some! He came out to our home and got some ideas from us for what we liked and were looking for. Then we met at the nursery and did a walk through to finalize the plans and plants. We really appreciated his knowledge since we're just starting to get green thumbs. The men who did the planting were very professional and kind. Anyway we're super happy and definitely recommend Jesse for your projects too!

I have always dabbled with my home's landscape. I have made a-lot of errors over the years mostly because of the limited daily sun. That said after the last tropical storm i lost a huge maple tree. I decided to hire a professional landscape architect that is how I ended up a London Nursery. This nursery is long established. I met Jesse the son of the founder of this nursery. He is a personable young man with creative ideas. I hired London to complete my modest planting and every worker was polite and i was completely satisfied with with every part of this project.

We contracted London Landscape for masonry around our new pool as well as yard repairs due to pool construction.
Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with - he listened to our ideas, offered some of his own and together we came up with a beautiful plan. The masonry team was fantastic! Super nice guys - super professional and the answer was always "whatever you want - we only bring solutions, not problems". They always cleaned the work area before they left for the day and always arrived every morning on time. Frank is meticulous in his craft, overseeing his team of mason's.
We look forward

This is the 2nd year in a row that I purchased a tree from them and it completely died within 10 days. This year I also purchased the Prolong liquid that they suggested and it did nothing. I’ve always had a real tree I’ve never had this problem. I Won’t be getting my tree there anymore. When I called their only solution was for me to dismantle my tree and bring it back for an exchange.

I was at London Landscape yesterday to buy plants. I decided to by a Shamrock holly bush. When I brought it into the building to pay, I noticed two workers (the cashier and a female garden worker) were not wearing masks. I said to the cashier, "it's a state law that all people in stores and shops wear masks." she said to me "It's only a recommendation." I said "It's a law and you're putting me at risk with your ignorance." The cashier was a young simple woman, who tossed the receipt onto the counter after my purchase without a thank you. My wife

Outstanding service!! Jesse is amazing. We have been customers for many years and finally decided to have our front yard landscaped. The results speak for themselves. Excellent crew, Jesse is an awesome designer and pays great attention to details. We highly recommend them. Great family owned business. Thank you!

I just had London Landscape prep and install a variety of trees, shrubs and perennials in front of my house today. The initial design and specimen/plant suggestion and selections, as well as coordination was managed by Jesse; with the actual installation performed by their expert crew. Very reasonable pricing and great customer service. Definitely using them again in the spring for my backyard project.

Had to make an update about London landscape.....they recently made a donation in honor of one of my special needs students who passed away suddenly a few months ago....
Brian, the owner, didn't hesitate to donate a beautiful tree after hearing the story.
The school district I work for was so impressed by his donation!
Also, I needed some help finding the perfect plant for a large barrel I have...Brian's son walked around the entire property with me patiently helping me until we found something just right.
Had to upgrade them to 5 stars :)

So a friend recommended me to go to London for a bunch of trees and shrubs that died in super storm sandy. They are having a 25% off sale on all trees and shrubs which is a huge deal for us on the south shore! I brought a pic and Carlos, the nursery manager helped me pick out a bunch of stuff for my yard. He was so knowledgable and helpful. My purchase was pretty large so I had them deliver it for me and I also threw in a couple of yards of compost on the delivery as well.... They had some pretty amazing pottery and I had them plant some flowers in it for me. When you pay for everything you
