Description of Work: This was such a long time ago, but I'm tired of getting the messages that I need to respond. I have no idea what their work is like- they just never responded to my attempts to get them to provide a quote for a walkway at the end of last summer. I think it's unprofessional too not respond, don't be on a site like this if you can't respond to inquiries. Even a message that we are too busy, and can't take on more customers, or your out of of our service area, would have been accepted as a professional response. Please don't post as they may be great at what they do, but thought you should know.

We are very happy with our new front porch and sidewalk. I had gotten a few other quotes , but Andy's was the most reasonable. I was also very impressed with his You Tube video of his design plan. It was great to actually see what your going to get. His crew began work on July 15 and It was amazing to watch the picture unfold. They worked very hard and accomplished so much in just the first day. Jose,the on site supervisor ,was awesome at coordinating every step of the way. He even came out on a Sunday with a stump grinder to grind up a tree stump in the front yard that needed to be removed. I was also impressed that Andy stopped over each day.There were a few rainy days, but the crew just kept on working through it. There was one small issue with the placement of the bricks along the side of the house(we couldn't get the lawnmower through to the back yard), but Andy sent a guy out to fix it pronto, and now it's all good. In the end, the finished product looks exactly like the video and we couldn't be happier. The whole process took one week(they finished up on July 22). Our house finally, now has "curb appeal". Would I recommend Andy Stepanek and his crew to others?- In a heartbeat! Would I use him again? Absolutely!
Description of Work: We had our old front porch and sidewalks removed and replaced with the Unilock bricks, new shrubs planted, front lawn graded and seeded.

This company did a fantastic job. From beginning to end, Andy Stepanek stayed in contact with me to ensure everything was being done to our satisfaction. He brought by samples to show us and gave us his recommendations on landscaping and gave us 3D designs at no extra charge, which really helped us see our ideas take shape. His crew of 2-3 guys that worked on the project were very friendly and cleaned up after each day they worked. The best part about the job was Andy's company hauls away all the dirt and replaces any damaged grass. We love our new outdoor oasis and several neighbors have complimented us on how great the backyard looks now!! I highly recommend Stepanek Landscaping to anyone wanting a beautiful looking backyard.

Stepanek Landscaping did a great job replacing our retaining wall in a complete transformation of our back yard. The workers were professional and courteous. Any discrepancies (and I am very picky) were quickly dealt with in a professional manner. I am very satisfied with the work that has been performed and would gladly recommend them to anybody looking for a high quality landscaper.
Description of Work: Tore down and removed a crumbling 100' long 4' tall retaining wall and replaced it with a Versa Lok retaining wall system.

I was looking to change the appearance of the front of my home. I was hoping to have a brick paver walkway leading up to the front door of my ranch home along my driveway. When Andy came by to give me an estimate, he cautioned me that the design I was thinking of might not work out to my liking because of a lack of room for planting. Andy had a better vision and offered a different approach that would visually open up the entrance to my home rather than confine it. He was willing to give me both estimates, but I appreciated the alternative view. I was glad that I called him and got the alternative view which turned out way better than the idea that I had originally. With his landscaping background he was able to implement a design the coordiated with my existing landscaping while giving my front entrance an updated and inviting look.
Description of Work: I had my front door stoop and garage apron replaced with brick pavers.

I was very pleased with the quality of work performed. It's been a year since installation and I'm still very pleased with the quality and the appearance. Andy and his team did an outstanding job and I would highly recommend them. The only suggestion I would make for Andy is to be a bit more responsive to messages - I had to send several follow-up emails on a number of occasions. Even with that, I highly recommend them.

Andy was the first landscaper of 3 landscapers to come out to look things over to give an estimate. He spent quite a bit of time looking over the property and getting an idea of what we wanted done and how we could potentially use the rocks we didn't want in the flower beds and a bush that was in an awkward place in our yard. Then he submitted his estimate with a drawing of what he'd do with our yard, and the selection of plants that he thought would look nice and be easy to care for. After we had selected him to do the work, he came by with a sample of the paving stones we had chosen to make sure the color was to our liking. We had a couple of minor changes to the plant selection and the configuration of the new sidewalk. Work began about 2 weeks selected Stepaneck Landscaping. They handled getting the permit. The work was completed in 5 days, as promised and we could not be more pleased. We would definitely work with Andy again and would recommend him to friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: Removed cement sidewalk that had sunk near the front porch. Reconfigured the sidewalk and replaced cement with paving stones. Completely cleared out 3 flower bed areas of weeds and over grown plants, planted a new tree, shrubs and plants, mulched all flower bed areas. Transplanted a bush to work in the space created by the reconfigured sidewalk. Removed 2 trees that were growning too close to the house. Created a terraced vegetable garden in that space, using large rocks from the cleaned out flower beds.

Excellent work, much better than anticipated. Still using service for lawn treatment and mowing. Heads up, Andy is not good at promptly returning phone calls within 24 hours. Often he takes more than one week.

Simply put, they did an awesome job! Their attention to detail was impeccable and their service levels were outstanding. Andy was very responsive throughout the project, from the first time I met him through the competitive bid process, the design process, and ultimately the installation. Their work was done with professionalism and maintained a neat work environment over the course of the 3 week project. In short, I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience. I've dealt with many contractors on many projects and my experience with Stepanek was by far the best. I would highly recommend Stepanek for any project.
Description of Work: Stepanek removed my old raised paver brick patio and replaced it with a new multi-level patio which included a paver patio and walkway, a seat wall, retaining walls and a fire pit. In addition, they provided landscaping around the new patio as low as low voltage lighting.

They worked hard and got the job done quickly. Only one part of the wall is messed up but since they would have to tear down a big section to fix it I never called to have it fixed. Andy was a very nice man that cares about his company, his installers also cared about what they were doing and it showed in their work. I got several quotes but I trusted him the most and he worked with me finding the perfect colors and material, very expensive but worth it!
Description of Work: Very good experience. I would highly recommend them. They did a very nice job, lots of compliments, and still holding up great after a couple of years.

Excellent experience from quick response to initial call, to consult, to samples of pavers and rough drawing of work to be done provided with typed estimate. Due to the size of our walk/driveway we were unable to justify the additional expense of pavers vs. concrete.

I love him. I’ve used him for thirty years. I’m not sure the exact amount that I spent. It was somewhere between $500 and a $1000. I like their reliability and the ability to talk to the owner directly. So their communication is outstanding. I haven’t used anybody else, so I haven’t compared the prices. I would absolutely use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Stepanek Landscaping Inc. I used their services last week before the snow, to do the sprinkling up. They do the weekly maintenance of my lawn. They did the fertilization of my lawn and core aerated it. I use them on an ongoing basis.
