Description of Work: I have been using Sturgis for over 10 years, so this last service isn't really representative of all they do. They clean my gutters, plow my driveway in winter, take care of my lawn, do spring and fall cleanups. They do occasional other things if I ask them, such as removing fallen trees or installing a post-and-rail fence. In this case, the price included spring cleanup (about 3/4 acre) and removal of a row of yews along the driveway. |They are very good for this kind of general work, a real person answers the phone, and they are very responsive and try to get here as soon as they can if I need them (e.g., a tree falling across the driveway). They are not cheap, but I know I can count on them. They are pleasant to work with, and they speak English.

They are fast, efficient and pleasant to work with.
Description of Work: We used them to clean up 2 large overgrown areas of our yard, and plant other more manageable plants/flowers in place. We also use them to mow the lawn in the summer and clean up all leaves in the fall.

I didn't hire him, he works for my neighbors. He has the loudest leaf blowers of any landscaper around. His crew will blow a single leaf across a huge lawn. They just get out of the truck, fire up the blowers, and 5 hours later they are done. Deafening. If you are looking for a great way to alienate your whole neighborhood, give Roger a call.

snow removal
+ -1 more
This company should never be hired for snow removal - and honestly since they are that bad - they shoudl probably not be used for any service they offer. They did exactally what I requested them not to do which was to push the snow along the fence and block my back enterance. (which I use as a main enterance to the home) They also did not come for the major part of the storm making it impossible to park in my driveway. When I arrived home there was over two feet of snow covering the driveway. I ended up having to purchase my own snow blower at 8pm at night and clean up my own driveway. Then a few days after the storm they had the dishonesty to charge me for the entire snow fall and removal. It was only after I sent a letter with pictures validating their incompetincies did they send a revised invoice for the little that they did do. I will never, never use this company again. and if you are smart you will look elsewhere.
Description of Work: Snow removal - I hired them to plow Friday and Sat the driveway durring the storm. I requested them to back out the snow and not block the back enterance. They only showed up twice, once on Friday at 6pm and once early morning Sat at 1pm then they never came back. Both times they pushed what snow there was to the back of the driveway completly blocking the back gate. They tried to charge me for a complete snow fall and removal - but I showed their lack of work so they aggreed to a reduction in the price.

Rogers team is great. First, I worked with Mary Ellen to develop a long term plan to transform my lawn. Next, they scheduled some of the work and it was a very smooth process. We did not do everything all at once, but the first stage of the project is such a big difference. I love the new look of the front, side and back of the house. And the lawn has never looked better! Rogers team is very friendly and I love having them over for regular maintenance. Great people, reasonable pricing, I would recomend them to anyone.

We have used Roger Sturgis for snow plowing for two winters, and they have been reliable and fair. This past winter was so mild that they only came once to plow, but last winter was snowy and they came 4–5 times. They have "tiered" charging, charging one fee for up to, say 8" of snow, and then upwards from there. Good communication from the company.

Because no work was actually done, I have no more to add to my story.
Description of Work: I had a work estimate done by this company. I liked the owner and the landscape designer he employs. I believe they know their stuff. The owner gave me good advice about what to do with a tiered interface with another yard. However, they had no followup with me. I asked to work with the landscape designer. She created a design after I asked twice, and then they didn't bill me for the design. Someone just dropped the ball. It's hard to work with people who are not good at business. If they were nearby and I ran across them frequently in the neighborhood, I'd employ them because we could keep track of our progress.

.He has worked for me 3 or 4 years. They have done their spring clean up. He always does good work. His prices I am not sure of as I haven't gone out and priced enough but the yard always looks nice. Sometimes I have to call more then once to get something done. I have never had any trouble with the staff anyone in the office or him.

After the same incident happened twice, we cancelled their service.
Description of Work: I had the same experience as the prior customer on Sturgis' snow removal service. During the past winter snow storm, they did not show up until after 7 pm when there were 8" of snow on the ground and after we had called because we could not enter our drive way. The plowed once and instead of charging us $41 for the trip, they charged $123.

Response from Roger B. Sturgis & Associates Inc
The way our company completes plowing is to make several trips to our customers driveways in order to allow every customer to enter their driveway and or garage. The driver had made a pass through the driveway earlier in the storm allowing access to the garage. The following visit was delayed due to the amount of snow and the rate that the snow had accumulated. The driveway was cleared for the customer by the end of the storm. As for the invoice, the storm was over 8" which is where our price increases from the flat rate. We were disappointed to loose this member as a customer that winter, and we were glad to have her back as a customer this 2012 season.

I use the company every year.
Description of Work: Do the fall cleaning for us and pruning when needed. Very nice crew. The company tries to accommodate the customer and do what is requested. They don't "force" any service on you and are aware that people do not necessarily want a full landscape service.
They clear the snow on my driveway, pathway along the street, pathway up to the front door, and to the side door. They clear about 46 inches of snow from my particular area. They also clean up my garden after fall, and winter. They also handle my watering system. They do their job very well. They are professional, responsive, and the quality of work is good. My overall experience with them has been good.
Description of Work: They clear the snow for me, and I have been using them for around 17 years.

Description of Work: This was one of five landscapers I contacted from Angie's List. It took them a week or so to call me back. The person I met with was very knowledgeable about lawn maintenance. However, I wanted some lawn replaced and he recommended only overseeding.

Work was done surprisingly soon after I signed the request form after the estimate. I was also glad that when I made the initial contact, I got a real person in an office instead of an answering machine. Too many companies performing these services never get back to you. I understand if they can't take on any new clients at the moment, but a return call is always a courtesy. You never know where future business comes from, and I don't like companies that don't return calls. And finally, the local foreman called me to tell me he was running a few minutes late for the estimate appointment; another unusual, but welcome, occurrence. When he and his crew came to do the work, they were all very polite and efficient.

Extremely disappointing and frustrating. Some of the work billed for was never completed, though Mr. Sturgis (who did not, to my knowledge, oversee any of the work) insisted otherwise. The most distressing and blatant concern was that when it rained shortly after the granite patio was installed, one whole corner sank about 6 to 8 inches almost immediately. Other concerns over the course of the project included the much longer than anticipated delay between sending my deposit and initiating the project (three years rather than the anticipated 7 months); that, although told the job should take about two weeks, work began in June (when a crew came and stripped my front lawn of all vegetation) and was not "finished" (their words, not mine) until the end of October; that the four evergreens planted by Mr. Sturgis' crew had all died by the end of the following summer; that the driveway was shorter than detailed in the original specifications, and, as experienced by Mr. Sturgis, was so short that it remains extremely difficulty to get into and out of the parking area without risking hitting a tree; that despite asking and reminding the landscaping crew many times NOT to disturb the young dogwood in my front yard (which had been planted in remembrance of my mother), it was dug up and put to one side at least three times that I witnessed over the course of the summer, and while it survived the first two, it did not survive the third disturbance. While the landscaping crew were unfailingly polite and conscientious, I was less than impressed with the work ethic and skills of the job supervisor; when I expressed my concerns to Mr. Sturgis, he essentially dismissed them, insisting that the supervisor was "a nice guy" (which was, of course, irrelevant to my concerns, which were with his competence, not his temperament). Between June and October, I only saw Mr. Sturgis twice, and both times were to collect payments. The person supervising the project was there only infrequently; his work was at best careless (he was, for example, planning to leave a 10 foot hole unprotected over a long weekend, and returned to put up a temporary fence the next morning only at my insistence); and at least some of the work done was clearly incompetent. The supervisor quit two days after the "sinking patio" incident (unlike Mr. Sturgis, he clearly recognized that incident as an indication that he was not cut out for this work). Before quitting, he did acknowledge (by fax) that the patio essentially needed to be redone; however, neither he nor Mr. Sturgis ever responded to my question about whether they (as I expected) or I would be held responsible financially for the repairs. Rather, Mr. Sturgis insisted on receiving payment in full before discussing my concerns and potential resolutions. Mr. Sturgis has been paid in full; my concerns have never been addressed, nor even fully acknowledged.
Description of Work: Work included putting in a driveway and brick patio; some tree work (cutting and plantings); and was supposed to include landscaping of the front and back yards.
