Capital District Landscaping & Site Work Services

Keifer Companies provides drainage and water management, site preparation and grading, paver patios and retaining walls, decks and outdoor kitchens, hydroseeding and sod, landscape installation, and commercial snow and ice management across Albany, Saratoga, and Schenectady counties. Every service connects to the next, because a property that looks great is also one that was built right from the ground up.

Drainage & Water Management

Trust Keifer Companies to properly install efficient drainage systems. We instal foundation drainage, stormwater routing, French drains, and catch basins designed for Capital Region soil and climate conditions.

Site Preparation & Structural Grading

Everyone loves an awesome outdoor space. Proper grading and excavation is the foundation of your outdoor investment, and it's what we love to do most. Don't believe us? Check out our project gallery.

Paver Patios, Retaining Walls, & Hardscapes

We install paver patios, retaining walls, walkways, and steps across the Capital District, built on a properly prepared base with drainage planned in. Hardscape that stays level and holds its shape through freeze-thaw seasons.

Gazebos, Decks, & Outdoor Kitchens

Your outdoor space has more potential than you think. We design and install decks, pergolas, gazebos, and outdoor kitchens built to hold up through the Capital Region winter, not just look good on day one.

Hydroseed & Sod Installation

You finally realized the DIY grass seed thing didn't pan out. We offer hydroseeding and sod installation to give your lawn a fresh start — new grass sprouts in 5–10 days and sod delivers instant coverage from day one.

Landscaping Design & Installation

Your yard has potential — it just needs someone who knows what to do with it. We handle landscape installation coordinated with your grading and drainage so the finished property looks exactly the way you pictured it.

Commercial Snow & Ice Management

Upstate New York winters don't wait around. Keifer Companies provides commercial snow plowing and ice management services throughout the Capital Region — keeping your property safe & accessible year round.

About Keifer Companies

Alex Keifer spent years as co-owner of a well-known and highly regarded landscaping company in the Capital Region before launching Keifer Companies.

Our Mission Statement

Keifer Companies was built around a straightforward principle: exterior work should be structured to perform long-term — not simply look complete at the end of installation. Every project begins beneath the surface, where drainage, grading, and soil conditions determine whether anything built above it lasts.

Our Systems-Based Approach

Drainage, grading, and exterior construction are treated as interconnected systems — not isolated trades. Water movement influences slope design. Slope design affects hardscape stability. That systems-based thinking is what drives every project we take on throughout the Capital Region.

Keifer Companies is owner-operated, and Alex is on every job. We serve residential and commercial clients across Albany, Saratoga, and Schenectady counties year round — quality landscaping, property maintenance, and outdoor living spaces built to last.
