Ray and his team transformed the outside of our home. We love hosting family and friends on our new back patio and cooking on our custom built BBQ. The front of our house is the talk of the neighborhood and includes all new plantings, a new front stoop and driveway.Ray was great to work with. He was responsive to our needs, our budget and we loved his ideas. Thank you to Ray and team!
I am blown away and so impressed with Ray, his son Jonathan and the whole Heriitage Design crew! Not only are they friendly and hardworking, they take their job as serious as if it were their own home. Ray the owner listened to me and designed my entire front yard into exactly what I wanted! More than I could have ever imagined! Finally someone who listens and truly knows how to make it happen!! I am beyond excited and cannot wait to do another project with this company!!! I highly recommend them!!!
Ray and his team are true artists. Dont second guess yourself, go with Heritage!.They put their heart, love, soul, and reputation into everything they do and it shows! Their rate$ are beyond fair and reasonable. If you calculate quality and craftsmanship into the equation, theyre too cheap!! (dont tell him I said that!)Now for the unabridged version. My wife and I thought we knew what we wanted. Ray listened and provided tidbits to consider while walking through the initial consultation. We listened, but stood our ground and asked that he quote what we were asking for, which he did. He also advised the price delta to add and change the items he was suggesting. The price was right in line with what we expected and we committed.They showed up when they said they would and stayed until it was finished. Ours was a large job and it started in the last quarter of 2021 and continued well into the 1st quarter of 2022. They worked through frigid temperatures, weekends, and holidays. they continued to work even when we werent home. Any questions, Ray would text or call, It was refreshing to see!Needless to say, we hit it off with Hertiage right out of the gate! they understood exactly what we were trying to achieve. As we approached work milestones in the project, my wife and I understood what Ray was suggesting initially and we started seeing what he was saw from the beginning. Ray let the ideas fly and wow, they are phenomenal! I wish we could have done them all, though we had to pick and choose what worked within our constraints.We are extremely happy we did, it looks great and Ray is a man of honor (impossible to find in 22) and worked with us on the price changes. Did not inflate anything in this period of ridiculous inflation. He honored what he suggested and initially quoted. For items that were out of his control, he encouraged and allowed us to purchase directly.Naturally, we went over budget, but that is on us and we are still extremely happy!! The compliments, drop-dropping expressions friends and family have when seeing the work and the sheer joy we have using our new backyard is priceless!If youre considering hiring them for a project, do it! Youll be extremely happy you did! I wished there were more contractors like Ray in the world!!
Ray, his son and their team are fantastic! We feel like we found our partners for all our future landscaping and masonry projects and we couldnt be happier! I had a vision for how I wanted my beds to look and they executed it perfectly in just 1 day. They even mulched my other beds and cleaned out my driveway. They went above and beyond what was promised and we cannot wait to do the next project together! 5 stars!
In Ray, we trust. Ray from Heritage Design Group is a masterful landscape designer. Creative and innovative, Ray constructed beautiful landscapes on our property with passion and purpose. Ray transformed our walkways, our front and back yards, and our gardens into an inspiring outdoor oasis. Rays crew was courteous and reliable and they worked with great precision. His prices were very fair.We have already discussed scheduling Ray to complete a landscape/patio project in our pool area for this upcoming spring of 2022. Recommending Rays services to a family or friend is like paying it forward. When you receive a gift, you then give a gift in return. Ray will attend to your home with consideration and care. He will treat you like family.
I have used Heritage Design for two projects. It has been a pleasure working with Ray the owner. When we first moved into our new home we met with several landscape designers and decided to hire Ray. He designed and installed new pavers for a walkway to our front door. He also designed and planted the trees and shrubs in the front of the house. We were so pleased with the work he has done in the past, that we are now hiring him to beautify our backyard.
It took a while but all good things are worth the wait. Raymond from Heritage design group and his team transformed the landscape of our home from rough dirt and old scattered shrubs into a magnificent, elegant garden straight out of a fairytale. They diligently work all day through rain, sleet and snow for weeks on end, with vision in mind and a well thought out plan and with such professional craftsmanship and WOW... the results are drop dead gorgeous. Our home became a Palace with magical gardens.We would highly recommend Heritage Design group to all our friends. JR.
The best part of working with Heritage Design Group was the communication ,integrity, and talent or the company .They did amazing work and had exquisite custom design ideas not only for my patio but on my stone fireplace as well🔥🔥. All of my landscape needs were addressed and was pleasantly surprised with all of Ray’s selections . Ray Langella was top notch, never invasive, and always patient with all my questions .The best part of working with Heritage was that they handled everything from the design process all the way to the instillation .. This project was seamless . This was the second time I have used this company and plan on doing so in the future as well
The best contractor experience we have ever had! Ray is such a great guy and so talented when it comes to envisioning a total project.We purchased a home with a sinking patio and the most overgrown/outdated landscaping. We had a few patio companies come out and they each gave us the same sales pitch and not one of them had an original idea until we met Ray. I can honestly say I have never met anyone with such enthusiasm for their profession. Ray is truly an artist!I know that I’m not always easy to work with, but Ray and his guys patiently and respectfully put up my changing ideas and a lot of questions. He managed to thoughtfully plan out and implement details that made the project feel completely custom to us...more than I could of ever imagined! I am truly grateful for the entire experience and amazing outcome!We honestly look forward to working with Ray and his guys again on the next phase of our design dreams!
We are thrilled at the way our backyard came out!Ray and his team replaced our old retaining wall, put up and framed our bamboo fence and it looks amazing. In addition,They were able to reset all the pavers around our pool and now they look brand new.I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you Heritage design group. We look forward to doing our next landscaping project soon!
We have used Ray and Heritage Design Group for a few different projects. We started with our backyard and to be perfectly honest after sitting with 5 other companies, Ray being the 6th, good things come to those who wait and do their due diligence! From the start We didnt feel as if we were sitting with a salesman. We felt as if we were sitting with an individual who was passionate about his work and wanted to share his vision, abilities and designs to the best of our budget! He included us in every step of the way and offered some great suggestions with unbelievable results. He was able to create a total transformation that exceeded our expectations. We have been completely satisfied with our new backyard and honestly find it hard to leave weather permitting!Fast forward, 2 years later we again chose Ray and Heritage to take the front of our home to a new level. His attention to detail, his work ethic, communication and ability to work alongside other contractors has made the process of remodeling a great experience with great results! Our hopes and dreams have become a reality.
I was driving to my parents home in Northport, and on my way I noticed this beautiful landscaping job. I turned around to talk to them and get their business card and that’s when I met Ray. He came to my home that I just bought, we sat and spoke about what could be done to make this to property look better. Ray has so much knowledge when it comes to landscaping, and his ideas are right on point. Needless to say I hired him and his company. I gave Ray all the control and he went above and beyond what I was expecting. His crew are very respectful and work endlessly, morning till dusk. They are all such nice guys that take pride in their work and they work hard. I am so happy with the outcome of my landscaping at my home. Ray will be coming back in the spring to continue his art in my backyard. I’m very lucky to have found this great guy that’s honest and works everyday including Sundays, he’s always looking out for your best interest. If I could, I would give him 20 stars, 5 is just not enough. If you hire him you will have NO regrets, they just don’t come like Ray anymore, he’s one in a million. He is the best! By the way my landscaping looks magnificent, I can’t wait til spring!
Ray from Heritage Design is probably the most knowledgeable and talented Landscape designer on Long Island! Ray is the owner and has a degree in landscape design. Our house had no landscaping at all for several years because our house is on a northeast exposure. Also, our backyard was a mess! We had uneven land and a waterfall that never worked properly and was falling apart. My wife and I were hesitant to call someone because we felt we needed an expert who could figure out what to plant and how to fix our backyard situation. We heard of Heritage Design from our neighbors and decided to take the risk and call.That was the best decision we have made! My wife and I are so thrilled with the work done by Ray and his crew that we hired them to do more landscaping and, before long, our house has been transformed and looks amazing! We recently had a graduation party for my daughter and everyone at this part kept raving about our landscaping!!!Ray is extremely meticulous and has an eye for landscaping. If you are looking for creativity, knowledge, integrity and professionalism call Ray at Heritage Design. You won’t be sorry!
Heritage design group recently completed a job for me. It was a big job, consisting of new masonry, a new driveway, walkway and all new landscaping with a new sprinkler system throughout my front yard. Ray Langella and his team were extremely professional and meticulous. His guys worked around the clock through the hottest days of the Summer, without complaint or taking much of a break. His sprinkling and lighting guys worked with the same diligence and professionalism, catering to us at every turn. The job was perfectly completed in every way. Ray has a very good eye for landscaping, and he is very confident in his craft. The end result proved just that. My wife and I couldn’t have been happier. There were a few times, even after the job was completed, that Ray would pass by the house just to make sure it was done correctly. For a very long time I thought customer service was dead....then I met Ray. I will be recommending he and his team to everyone.
Ray has completed multiple projects for me. He first did the stone work on my fireplace and then he came back and completed an extensive back yard patio project. Both came out absolutely beautiful. Ray and his guys are professional and meticulous. I have no hesitation in hiring him back for any and all of my future projects!!!

2022-06-13We hired Ray to design landscaping for the front of our home. We had empty beds and a front lawn with hardly any trees. Ray was excited from the moment he saw our blank slate. He came up with some great ideas and we trusted him to run with them immediately. The result speaks for itself. The front of our home was transformed. It does not look like the same house. Ray had originally suggested lighting the house and the landscaping, but I wanted to wait until next season. After most of the landscape was complete, Ray suggested this idea again and we gave it more thought and decided to do the lighting as well. Jonathan on Rays team did an amazing job lighting our home and the landscape. When we first pulled up at night we could not believe this was our home.Ray and his team truly want to make you happy and provide you with the best product and service. His professionalism and talent is bar none!

2022-03-28Ray and his crew did a marvelous job transferring first our backyard and then our front into an oasis. When it comes to landscaping Ray is certainly a pro. He can envision a space that will look beautiful all year long. Giving it dimension, texture and color. Something few landscaper can do. Stone work also amazing and artistic. Nothing cookie cutter about it. Its easy to trust his vision when hes had such great success. In face once he did my space my neighbors started calling him too. Its infectious. Thank you Ray and Heritage Design Group

2022-02-27You can’t go wrong with Ray and his crew! These guys dramatically transformed our front yard. Our front yard was overgrown, rock gardens were out of place, and the deck was slowly falling apart. While we had an idea of what we wanted, it was Ray’s vision and attention to detail that brought it all together. The proof is in the dozens of cars that have stopped to take a picture of his sign. We look forward to the next phase of the project when Ray and his crew will be tackling the backyard. If you’re looking to get landscape work done, call Ray…you will not be disappointed.

2022-05-01Ray did a fantastic job updating my old worn out front landscaping. New bushes and plants were planted in a beautiful design he made. Ray is on the job every day and calls when he’s on his way. His crew are very polite, neat and clean. He calls to remind you to water the new plantings. He has a great personality. You will not be disappointed.

2022-04-12My husband and I recently purchased our first home. We knew that one of our first projects was to tackle the backyard so that it was ready for summer - we are both teachers, and with summers off, we spend all of our time outdoors.Our main focus was to take down the massive, two-story deck that was falling apart and extremely intrusive of the yard, and replace it with a stone patio. I had known that I wanted to work with Ray and his team for quite some time, so as soon as we got the keys to the house, I called him. Ray arrived on day two of us owning the home and took down the ENTIRE deck in ONE day. I am still in awe of the hard work, patience and dedication that was put into this first part of our project.At this current time, a jaw-dropping patio has been put into place and has absolutely exceeded any and all expectations/visions that we had ourselves. Rays attention to detail, knowledge, and planning is unmatched - our entire project will include a stone seating wall, firepit, and bbq/bar area. Although we are tackling these pieces at a later date, Ray was one step ahead and installed all of the pipes and hardware necessary underground to make the rest of our project seamless.I cannot wait for Heritage Design to come back and finish not only this project and the rest of the backyard, but eventually, our front yard too. Do not waste your time inquiring with other contractors...there is no one like Ray!!

2022-07-11Ray, his son Jonathon, and the rest of the Heritage team have been so amazing on various projects at my house, that I recommended them to my parents who just used them too. Between the 2 of us, we have planted numerous gardens, over 85 privacy trees, we redid their driveway, patio, walkway, front entrance, the landscaping in the front yard, the lighting, you name it. Ray has an amazing eye for landscape design, hes always there to keep on top of every project, he has always worked with us on our budget, he is honest, and he always gets the job done. He has become more than our landscaper, he is our friend. We are about to embark on our backyard/pool design and we cannot wait to get started. Highly recommend the Heritage team, you will not be disappointed.

2022-08-15Ray and his son Jonathan completed a landscaping project in our front yard and we could not be happier. From the start, Ray was responsive and spent time with us to make sure we would love the outcome. He visited our home several times during planning, and even walked around our backyard to learn a bit about the look that we wanted to achieve.The project started right away and the results were stunning. You can tell Ray has a passion for design and truly loves what he does. He then spent time with us to make sure we knew how to properly care for each plant, from watering frequency to trimming and upkeep. Jonathan does all the uplighting and that came out incredibly as well. He even stopped by several nights to make the final adjustments and tweaks so that everything would be perfect.We will be happy to recommend Ray, Jonathan and the rest of the Heritage Design team to everyone we know as I trust they will treat every project with the same quality and care as ours.

2022-05-10Ray and his team designed and transformed my dated landscape to a real show stopper. I have had countless neighbors stop me and rave at how beautiful everything looks. His team coordinated all aspects of the job including masonry work, sprinklers, electricians, sod and large specimen landscape plants/trees. I very much appreciated how clean, punctual and professional his whole crew was. It was also very refreshing to have the owner there to oversee that the job was done as we discussed. I would highly recommend. Pricing was extremely fair!

2022-07-07Heritage Design Group Inc. has exceeded all of our expectations! We let owner Ray run with his vision and were presented with amazing results. They transformed our yard into a more usable and inviting space for our family to enjoy. The knowledgeable owner and hard working team truly are one-of-a-kind. Its refreshing to know that there are respectful and conscience people still out there that care about the finished product and the customer through the entire process. I would highly recommend Heritage for all your masonry and landscape design needs.
