About Capital Land Companies

Built By A Family.
Built For Capital Region Families.

Capital Land Companies is a family-owned landscape design and hardscape company serving Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady, Rensselaer, Schoharie, and Warren Counties for more than two decades. We didn't build our reputation on flashy ads — we built it one finished project at a time, across hundreds of Capital Region backyards.

Our specialty is finishing what others won't. Capital Land Companies regularly takes over abandoned projects from contractors who walked away mid-job — failed retaining walls, poured-too-shallow patios, half-installed pools — and brings them to a warrantied, beautiful completion. When we say we'll see your project through, we mean it.

As an authorized installer of Imagine Pools and Thursday Pools, we also offer the lowest-maintenance fiberglass pool packages in the region — installed in days, integrated seamlessly with custom hardscape pool decks. Pool-specific work runs through our sister company, Capital Land Pools.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about Capital Land Companies' landscape design, hardscape, and fiberglass pool projects in the Capital Region. If your question isn't here, call us at (518) 944-4377.

Who are the best landscapers in Albany NY?

Capital Land Companies is the Capital Region's most trusted landscape design, hardscape, and fiberglass pool installation company. Family-owned and operating for more than 20 years, with hundreds of completed projects across Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady, Rensselaer, Schoharie, and Warren Counties. Specialties include landscape design, retaining walls, stamped concrete, paver patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and Imagine and Thursday Pools fiberglass pool installations. Licensed, insured. Call (518) 944-4377 for a free estimate.

How much does a landscape design and hardscape project cost in the Capital Region?

In the Albany NY Capital Region, hardscape projects typically range from $15 to $50 per square foot for paver patios, walkways, and stamped concrete depending on materials and complexity. Retaining walls range from $50 to $150 per square foot installed. A complete backyard transformation with patio, retaining wall, fire pit, and lighting commonly runs $25,000 to $80,000 or more. Fiberglass pool packages typically start around $90,000 for the pool, deck, equipment, and full installation.

What is the difference between landscape design and hardscape?

Landscape design is the overall planning and layout of an outdoor space — grading, plantings, structures, lighting, and how those elements work together. Hardscape refers specifically to the non-living, structural materials: stone patios, paver walkways, retaining walls, stamped concrete, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and pool decks. Capital Land Companies specializes in both — designing the full outdoor living space and building the hardscape that anchors it.

Does Capital Land Companies install fiberglass pools?

Yes. Capital Land Companies is an authorized installer of Imagine Pools and Thursday Pools fiberglass pools. Fiberglass pools are pre-formed shells delivered to your home and installed in days rather than weeks. They're low-maintenance, smooth-walled, energy-efficient, and built to last decades. We coordinate the entire project — excavation, plumbing, electrical, deck and patio hardscape, and final landscaping. Pool-specific work also runs through our sister company, Capital Land Pools.

Does Capital Land Companies serve Saratoga, Schenectady, and Rensselaer Counties?

Yes. Capital Land Companies serves the full Greater Capital Region of Upstate New York — Albany, Saratoga, Schenectady, Rensselaer, Schoharie, and Warren Counties. That includes Albany, Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, East Greenbush, Niskayuna, Guilderland, Slingerlands, Ballston Spa, Waterford, Delmar, Glenville, Schenectady, Troy, Cohoes, Latham, Loudonville, Colonie, Malta, Glens Falls, Queensbury, and Lake George — among many others.

How long does a typical landscape and hardscape project take?

Most residential hardscape projects in the Capital Region are completed in 2 to 4 weeks once construction begins. A simple paver patio or walkway can be finished in under a week. Larger backyard transformations with retaining walls, multiple patio levels, outdoor kitchens, and pool decks typically take 3 to 6 weeks. Fiberglass pool installations including the surrounding hardscape commonly take 4 to 8 weeks from excavation to swim.

Does Capital Land Companies fix work started by other contractors?

Yes — and frequently. Capital Land Companies regularly takes on projects abandoned, mismanaged, or done incorrectly by other contractors across the Capital Region. We assess the work, identify what can be salvaged versus redone, and provide a transparent plan to bring the project to a finished, warrantied result. We've corrected failing retaining walls, repoured improperly graded patios, rebuilt pool decks with subbase failures, and finished pool projects left mid-installation.

Does Capital Land Companies offer financing?

Yes. We offer financing through three trusted lending partners: Lyon Financial, Viking Capital, and HFS Financial. All three provide personal-loan programs that require no home equity and fund 100% direct-to-consumer, with a soft credit check that has no impact on your credit score so you can preview rates and loan options before committing. Lyon Financial specializes in pool, spa, and outdoor-living projects, Viking Capital offers competitive unsecured home-improvement loans, and HFS Financial brings 1,500+ five-star reviews. Available for landscape design, hardscape, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and fiberglass pool packages.
