Steve was very responsive to providing an estimate and ensuring I understood what the options were. Once I hired Stavros, they provided and estimated date for the work. Given the state of my lawn, I was pleased when they were able to perform the work several weeks earlier than promised. When i came home my front lawn looked so smooth, it looked like it had been graded and carpeted. After this, Steve was very patient, taking my calls regarding the care for my newly seeded "dirt", and making sure it was growing properly. I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Following replacement of a broken sewer pipe in my front lawn, my front yard had a very long pile of dirt over the area that was dug up. I was in need of someone to remove this mountain of dirt/rocks/broken pipe, grade the lawn, and seed the lawn.

Met Steve the first time to get estimate/ideas. They came back and removed trees so work on outside of house could be done by another company. Then the rest of the work was completed in one day. Steve was excellent and very helpful and informative and instructive on how to continue to care for the lawn after initial work was done. They were very flexible with the scheduling due to other housework being done and weather issues. Several weeks after work was done, we called with concerns about lawn not growing well; Steve came back out to check on lawn, put out more seed, and left us further instructions; no additional charges. Steve was always quick to respond to questions, give quotes, offer advice, and was never pushy.
Description of Work: Removed 6 trees and ground down the roots. Removed 6 shrubs, trimmed back several trees, placed underground runoff/downspout for gutter, removed old swing set and repaired lawn, removed stumps from 2 old bushes in back of house, re-landscaped entire front and side lawn including seeding and fertilizing new grass, laid down mats to prevent further erosion on side of house, planted 4 shrubs, and placed brick edging/wall in front of house.

A portion of my yard around the garage and back fence had become overgrown with weeds and some dead weeds were piled behind the garage. I tried to pull them up but was clearly not getting to the roots, so I called this company and they came out and cleared all of the weeds both living and dead. I was so pleased with the speed and thoroughness and now I can actually see my garage!
Description of Work: I contacted the office by phone and they set up a date that was timely and the work was done thoroughly and completely. They left the yard neat and undamaged. Everyone I spoke to from the office to the yard workers were courteous, friendly and professional.

I called to tell Stavros that our leaves were mostly down and they should come when they can to pick them up. They told me they would be out in the next week to two weeks and that they would get all of the leaves, including those on our roof. They showed up two days later and had a man up on our roof with a blower to get all of those leaves off of our roof. They then started at the back of our property and blew all of the leaves around our house and out to the street where they loaded all of them in their truck. All of this took approximately one and one half hours and they left our property clean.
Description of Work: Removed all leaves on our property.

He didn't bring topsoil. It looked more like river silt. He filled in holes and planted grass seed. The first rain we had, everything washed away. I told him about the problem and he wanted another $1000 to redo the job. I purchased pete moss so he could plant the trees in the pete but when the job was finished, the pete moss was in the garage and he had planted the trees in clay. 7 of the 8 trees have died since they were planted. He said the best he could do would be to remove the trees.
Description of Work: I hired them originally to move a flower bed and a wall. They were supposed to reinstall the wall at another location and to create a new flower bed. He was to level the lawn by filling in the low spots and planting grass seed. He was to furnish 15 tons of topsoil for the job. He was also supposed to plant 8 trees.

Response from Stavros Lawn Service
Our company was hired the members to do some landscaping work on May 22, 2008. The following is a brief description of the job in question. We were hired to remove an existing retaining wall an reinstall it in a new location, to create a bedding area. In addition to moving the wall, we delivered topsoil, seed, and Penn mulch and though the members had originally ordered the plantings for the new area from us, they changed their minds and provided plaints and trees from an unknown source for us to plant in the new bed. Also provided by them was peat moss to mix with the soil for the trees he wanted us to plant. Both were present for the entire day of work. When the job was completed, Steve gave the members instructions for the care of the plants and lawn. The unused peat moss was left at the home. At days end, the member told Steve he was very pleased with the results of the job. In early July our company was again contacted again by the member who expressed his displeasure that the excessive rains had washed away a fair amount of the topsoil and also that 3 of his trees looked to be dying. Steve met again at their home to discuss options and he provided a new written estimate on July 21, 2008 in the amount of $945 to repair the damage the rains had done. This estimate included more topsoil plus a greatly discounted rate for more grass seed. The re-installation of starter fertilizer, Penn mulch, lawn aerating and the removal of the dead trees were also to be provided by Stavros Lawn Service at no charge. The members did not contact us again regarding the lawn repair but he did make a complaint with Angie's List in late November, nearly 7 months after the satisfactory completion of the original job. We take pride in our business practices and in the satisfaction of our numerous clients and though it was unfortunate that the devastating rain eroded the member's lawn, we certainly have no control over the weather and we made an attempt to correct the situation when contacted by the member. And with regard to his trees: since we did not provide them for him, we cannot be sure of their original health and can in no way be responsible to replace them.

The job went very well. I got a telephone estimate from Mr. Stavros which was much lower than that of others (one of whom said "We just dump and leave."). They delivered on time, with a phone call alerting us the night before. My estimate of the volume of soil needed was on the low side, but they had brought enough along to make up the difference. Some of the soil was a bit high in clay, but it was better than my existing soil, so that wasn't a big problem. They worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves quite well. All in all, it was a positive transaction.
Description of Work: The company delivered a load of topsoil and deposited it (via wheelbarrow and Bobcat) to the area in the backyard where it was to be used. I did the final spreading and shaping, as per our agreement. The final cost was just as described by telephone when we placed the order.

Overall, it was great. Stavros has been the only small company I've worked with as I've been fixing up my new home who has been incredibly responsive, on time, returns phone calls immediately. I'm very impressed with that. It was one reason I chose them (after reading many Angie's List comments). I also chose them because I read he works very hard, gives you more than you ask, and gets it all done quickly. All true. His quote was about $2,000 more than my second highest quote, which frustrated me, but I chose them for their reputation and swallowed the price. Impressive operation how they come charging in very early in the morning with, it seemed, at least 10 workers, who were at it all day long. My contact came about two weeks ahead and reviewed my plan with me. He didn't really like my plan, but we seemed to agree on my desire for an organic, natural, cottage looking front yard. He suggested some replacements (which afterwards I didn't like). He had a quote to me two days later and followed up after. We set a date for 2 weeks later and he showed up right on time. It was easy. He was here very early with his crew, stayed, left, and returned to work/check work. Some frustration is my fault. I reduced the price by about $1,500 by cutting things back, but then he showed up with things in his truck that he thought I should include (potentially a sales gimmick, don't know). I bit and I lost all that savings. In the end, it's very nice, but very linear, a few items I wouldn't have chosen, and doesn't have that "cottage" feel I wanted. I won't use him again only because it was a bit high priced and the reality vs. our conversation weren't the same, though it is very lovely and most others would like it a lot!
Description of Work: Using a pre-determined plan I had for a house I recently purchased, Stavros landscaped my front yard, which included removing dead trees, pruning trees, removing rubber landscape borders, putting in new beds or expanding bed size, moving existing shrubs and planting new shrubs. It also included mulch.

Left a message on the business answering machine. Received a call within a reasonable time frame and had an appt. set soon thereafter. Steve came out on a Friday afternoon, listened well to what we wanted and made additional suggestions(e.g. burying and extending the downspouts, type of shrubs, plants; included in the estimate a price for doing one part in stone or with mulch and talked through the pros and cons of each option). He took pictures and promised to have the estimate to us by Monday. The estimate was late but there was a reasonable explanation for this and it gave us an opportunity to add a small change. Liked Steve immediately. Appreciated his suggestions. His estimate was a bit higher than we'd hoped. Probably would have used this service anyway, but just before making a decision we were blessed with the knowledge of termite damage which took a good bit of our change to repair.
Description of Work: Called Stavros Lawn Service to request an estimate on a landscaping project as well as mulching service for existing flower beds.

I have been dealing with Stavros for about 8 years. Karli does the estimates. Her husband, Steve does the work. I had them landscape a new pool that was installed this spring. I told Karli what I wanted and she then made some suggestions that made better sense. They called the day before to let me know they would be here. The landscaping looks wonderful. Everyone who has seen it has commented on how beautiful it is.
