We couldn't be more pleased with the result! Greg and his crew were professional, courteous and so hardworking, it was obvious that they took great pride in their work and were determined to have a very happy and satisfied customer at the end. Can't say enough about how pleased we are, we anticipate having them back for additional work and would not hesitate to recommend them!

Everything was great from start to finish. Greg Stefano is incredibly responsive. He answered my initial email right away and came to our house for a preliminary estimate right away. After learning what we wanted to have done, he followed up shortly thereafter with a detailed written estimate. Greg Stefano and his employees are polite, professional and timely. They got right to work and finished the job in a few days time and left everything as neat as a pin. Our front yard looks terrific; we have received lots of compliments from our neighbors and could not be more pleased Stefano's Landscaping. Before, during and after the project, Greg always responded promptly to any questions I had. I highly recommend Stefano's Landscaping.
Description of Work: We had our brick front steps replaced with granite steps, our flagstone walkway replaced with stone, our front yard landscaped and portions of the lawn reseeded.

Greg and his team did a wonderful job transforming my backyard into a welcoming living area. He completed it on time and on budget. The weather wasn't cooperating for much of the spring and I had a deadline to get the project done before my daughter's graduation party. Greg went above and beyond to make sure that happened. I thought in the end I might have to lay sod to have grass for the event but Greg's team came out three times and reseeded and fertilized the lawn so that it was a plush and green on the day of the event. I was so impressed. When the project was finished, Greg didn't just disappear. He followed up to make sure everything was okay and came back a few times to make adjustments, make lighting and replant where plants had not taken. He was always responsive and kept on top of everything that was going on. He never tried to oversell me with additional work. Everything was done exactly as it was supposed to be. I couldn't have been happier with Greg and his team. In fact I have hired him to do the maintenance in the yard now and have continued to be pleased with his work. I have hired a lot of contractors in my life to do projects big and small and Stefano's was definitely one of the best I have ever hired. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: I had contacted several landscapers to do a rather large outdoor living project in my backyard. The project included patios, rock walls, landscaping and plantings, a fire pit, irrigation, lighting and an outdoor kitchen. In the end I selected Greg Stefano of Stefano's Landscaping because he was professional, on time, reasonably priced and I felt like I could trust him. I was not let down.

Hi [Member Name Removed], I apologize for the confusion. When one of our sales representatives went out he was sent away by a trustee and told he was not supposed to be there and did not have approval to give an estimate. Thank you, Emily

We had a terrific experience with Stefano's Landscaping and plan on using them for future landscaping needs. During the bidding process, Greg provided valuable input and suggestions that helped us finalize our hardscaping plans and select materials within our planned budget. During the project, we found all of the crew members courteous, hard-working and detail-oriented. Whenever questions arose during the project, Greg was very responsive and met us on-site to discuss our options and agree on a plan.
Description of Work: The work that was performed was the finalization and execution of backyard hardscaping plans. This included site grading and installation of a patio, natural stone retaining wall / border and a cedar fence. The driveway was reconfigured and included the cutting and removal of asphalt and laying a new section in gravel. A multi-zone irrigation system was installed, planting beds prepared and topsoil, mulch and grass sod were laid.

Stefano's Landscaping went above and beyond to follow through and complete a large project. I found them to be extremely professional and made sure the job was done right. In my case, Stefano's not only had to meet my requirements but also had the patience to work though some other circumstances with my neighbors to help us all find common ground. The work performed exceeded my expectations. I would refer Stefano's to anyone who has a masonry and/or landscaping project.

Very well. Quote process was relatively quick and painless. The work was done on the scheduled date and accomplished quickly. The crew was very pleasant to work with and handled unforeseen issues gracefully. They cleaned up very well at the end of the job, The quality of the work they did was excellent. I appreciated the foreman calling to check in a few days after the job was completed.

Great work, looks good, good suggestions from Jim, timely service. He showed me his receipts for the loam, stone, mulch, etc. They did dump stone on the driveway so there are some scratches there now, but nothing to get out of shape about. I will need to watch the drainage on one side but also, I think it's going to be fine. I referred him to another client. I would use him again.

We have used Stefano's for two years now to winterize our sprinklers and open them back up/service them in the spring. We have decided to terminate our relationship with them after having repeatedly giving them the benefit of the doubt. Both years with the winterization they were highly unresponsive about scheduling the winterization. They wouldn't let us pick when we wanted it done. They basically told us that they would get to it when they get to it. Additionally, after following up several time to see if it would get done before the whether turned, they promised it within a week and told me that they would confirm when it was done. I waited over two weeks with no confirmation. I had to follow up to make sure it had been done. In the spring a similar thing happened. They promised that they would call us after looking over the system before making any repairs. We received no call, so were very surprised when a bill came with several repairs that we had not been asked about. They just took it upon themselves to replace parts and bill for it without us having okayed anything. We obviously paid but found this to be just another example of their unprofessionalism and inability to communicate in a proactive manner.

Greg and his crew did a great job on our project! The overall cost of the work was higher than other contractors we looked at, however, Greg's responsiveness and professionalism made the decision easy to go with Stefano's. The work was completed in a timely and consistent manner so start to finish was 5 days. We will work with Stefano's in the future!
