I hired Hilltop to reconstruct the planters in front of my house. The landscaping team was very professional and planted a variety of different plants and bushes that highlighted and brought bright colors to the front of the house. I highly recommend Hilltop for their outstanding landscaping services.
This was our first landscape project with Hilltop and they exceeded our expectations. Glenn was very knowledgeable and helped make our vision a reality. We loved how it came out and are already looking forward to the next project. Highly recommend Hilltop!
Fantastic experience with Glenn the owner and his team. They installed a 2 foot berm and a large privacy hedge plus removed an overgrown juniper and planted a Japanese Maple all in 8 hours. Looks amazing. Glenn makes excellent recommendations.
Most outdoor kitchen projects take about 2 to 4 weeks once construction begins. The timeline depends on design size, material availability, and weather conditions. Simpler grill stations may take less time, while full outdoor cooking setups with stonework, plumbing, or electrical features take longer. We always provide a clear schedule before starting so you know what to expect from day one.
Costs vary based on size, materials, and features like built-in grills, counters, or storage. A basic setup costs less than a fully customized luxury outdoor kitchen. We provide detailed written estimates after a site visit so everything is clear upfront. No hidden steps or unclear pricing. Each project is tailored to your space and how you plan to use it.
We use weather-resistant materials like natural stone, concrete blocks, pavers, and stainless steel components. These materials are chosen to handle freeze-thaw cycles common in Dutchess County. We also help you choose finishes that match your home’s style while staying strong through seasonal changes. Every material is selected for durability, safety, and long-term outdoor performance.

The goal is to build something that fits your lifestyle, not a one-size-fits-all setup.
Not really, but some care helps extend the life of your setup. We recommend basic cleaning after use, covering grills when not in use, and checking stone or grout annually.
