G & C Landscaping Provides Hands-On Craftsmanship

G & C Landscaping Design and Construction will tackle just about any project, no matter how sophisticated or elaborate.

CHATHAM, NJ – Just about everybody has had the experience of contacting a service professional, only to never come face to face with the actual owner of the company, who instead has dispatched one or several of his workers to a job without ever getting involved with the project himself.

Gary Carluccio does things a little differently.

The proprietor of G & C Landscaping Design and Construction in Chatham describes his philosophy as “hands-on” When a customer enlists the services of G & C, they’re most likely to receive the services of Carluccio himself, along with his skilled crew. Carluccio would prefer not to have it any other way.

“I am a hands-on perfectionist,” Carluccio said, “I’ll cut a brick four or five times just to get it right. The bigger a company gets, the harder they may become to deal with, and the more likely they’ll be to send someone else to do the job. And then, a lot of landscapers just want to get in, get the job done and get out, and they don’t care about the quality of the job they do.

“We’re a smaller company, but I’m on the job the majority of the time.”

Carluccio, a New Providence native, started his business right out of high school in 1975 with just a lawnmower and a lot of ambition.

“I didn’t go to college,” Carluccio said. “I went out and mowed lawns. I built the business up to 110 lawns with one other person, but we haven’t mowed lawns now in about 30 years. We just do landscaping/construction projects now.”

While you’ll have to look elsewhere to keep the grass mowed, G & C Landscaping Design and Construction will tackle just about any other project on the property, no matter how sophisticated or elaborate.

Landscaping, custom-built patios, walkways, driveways, driveway aprons in paving stone only. home improvements, additions and much more are cornerstones of the projects Carluccio can handle.

“We stopped cutting lawns because we got so busy with other landscaping/construction work,” Carluccio said. “We’ll also build high-end patios, that’s what we specialize in.”
