Stenson Landscape & Irrigation, Inc.

Received three different bids from landscaping companies including Stenson Landscaping. Although the bid from Stenson was not the lowest I still decided to go with them because of the reviews here on Angie's List as well as some of the ideas Matt shared with me during the estimate visit. The crew arrived on time and spent the entire day working on the project. I was impressed with the quality of their work and attention to detail. I was also impressed with the plant placement that Matt came up with. All in all we are very pleased.

They are very responsive. They come on time and keep you informed. There are no surprises with them. They do outstanding work.

It went great. Matt or his team showed up each time they were supposed to. Not a single delay and we are very happy with the results. We will use them again. I highly recommend them. Very professional.

This is the second time I have had Stenson do work for me. The estimate was done in a timely fashion and work started and finished according to contract. The crew was efficient and and cleaned up all materials after the work was completed. I also contracted with Stenson to do my lawn mowing and trimming.

They were great to work with and I would recommend them.

I liked Stetson very much. They were great...we would absolutely use them again.

Matt and his crew did an excellent job trimming my oak trees. He knows I am 'nervous Nelly' when it comes to having trees trimmed - and he told me every limb he thought needed cut and we agreed before he cut any limbs off - Matt is a super guy to work with and will definitely use his services again. Thanks Matt for a job well done!

Overall, it went very well. Matt came out pretty quick to give me an estimate and then gave me a estimate of when the job would start and followed up with me when things changed. I know I booked this in the peak time of the season and was very pleased with the result I got and for the amount I paid.

The service was excellent and the work quality was good too. The best part about using Matt at Stenson to do the work is the service. He was fast to respond and got the work done equally quickly, leaving no mess behind - only his high quality work product. Highly recommend.

After calling several landscapers to to come by and give us an estimates, Matt Stenson returned my call promptly and professionally. When he came by to see us and draft the estimate he really took the time to listen understandand what we were looking for. He scketched out a terrific plan and discussed with us the pros/cons of the different options. He laid out mutiple cost trade-offs and plant selections. He reviewed the sun that each portion of the yard would receive and adjusted the plan accordingly. On installation day, he and his team arrived right on time. By the end of the day the backyard had been transformed. It was like an episode on HGTV. Matt was professional, honest, and a pleaseur to work with. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

I initially contacted Matt via e-mail and he got back to me right away. He came out and looked at what I wanted at 5:00 on a Wednesday evening and had the estimate to me that Friday. Matt listened to what I said and guided me through a lot of confusion! He always called the night before to let me know if they were coming the next day... because he knew that I had to make arrangements for my dog--- that was great! When they started the job, there were weather issues, but they were not a problem. His crew was AMAZING... his stone mason was AMAZING. The clean-up every day was excellent. Matt and I discussed the plantings for a few minutes and I felt so comfortable that we were on the same page, I told him to just pick out everything and surprise me. I was not disappointed! I can't say enough good stuff about Stenson Landscaping. I will be using them again in the near future.

I would recommend them highly. They are honest. Their price is good. I would rate them highly. I would use them again in the future.

I had a very good experience with this company. I called them to see if they could come out and mow my yard that day. Within an hour or so two very nice and professional men came over to handle the job. I know this is not the norm and I was lucky, but I was impressed that the turnaround was so swift. They did a great job mowing the yard. Everything looked great. There were a ton of leaves, so they just mowed those over rather than raking them, but it was fine since I knew we were being squeezed into their schedule and I was just happy they could handle the job so quickly. I plan to call them back out again to handle the leaves once we get our trees trimmed back. I would definitely recommend their services.

Dennis quoted the job quickly. Matt came out and went over his thoughts on transplanting existing plants and adding new plants and trees - taking in our input. What really sets Stenson apart is that they do what they say, when they say they will do it within the quoted amount. If anyone was going to be even a few minutes late, I'd get a call. Matt confirmed dates the day before and they showed up and completed the work professionally within the time frame estimated. They're not the least expensive, but we're hoping this is the last time we have to redo our landscaping (which is only two years old, but wasn't done well by our original landscaper). Highly recommend Stenson!

I couldn't be happier with their work. They exceeded our expectations. The came when they said they would. They charged us as specified in the bid, and the final product is fantastic. I would highly recommend them. Thanks to Dennis and Matt for their hardwork.

My expereince was completely satisfactory.I dealt with Dennis Dotson and he was always quick in getting back wtih me.He was more than fair in his willingness to work with what I was looking for and delivered exactly what he described he would.There was some confusion on my part that led to frustration and he worked through it professionally. It was a very satisfying experience and everything you would expect from working with a small Texas company.We will use this company again and would recommend them to anyone who asks or is reading this.

I voiced my concerns before the sod was laid that it was still uneven but was assured by Matt that everything was going to be fine. Dennis contacted me for final payment (paid half up front) and I again voiced my concerns. I was assured by him that it would be fine but if there were any issues they would fix them because they did not want a bad report on Angie's List or to the BBB. In addition to the issues with the uneven and poorly graded lawn, they did not follow the property line on one side of the house, the fence started coming down within a month and the plant selection was poor because I have since found out they were not intended for the Texas heat and most have died. I have been very patient and purposely nice through the process in hopes that would make a difference and they would complete the work. It is now 3 months after the original work was completed and I sent them a letter asking for a refund of $3,000 or a time in September when they can re-till, level and replace the sod. It has been a week since they received the certified letter and I've gotten no response. It feels like my only recourse is to take legal action since they seem to have washed their hands of me in hopes that I will simply go away.

I have used Stenson Landscaping on three different occasions and I've been very impressed all three times. On two occasions I called for help on very short notice and they responded and provided service within 24 hours. One incident followed a significant storm and a large tree limb had fallen on my neighbors arbor. Stenson came out that same day, removed the limb without causing further damage to the arbor, and cleaned everything up. We also had them come out and weed, mulch, and "clean up" our front flower beds as well as provide extensive tree trimming and tree removal. We were out of town when they did this service but they did a fantastic job. No "cutting corners" and the clean up was great. This team is always professional, on time (or they call), and trustworthy. I look forward to working with them again.

After it was done, it did a pretty good job but didn't completely meet the need. I brought this to their attention and they came in and did some additional work at minimal extra cost. I was satisfied overall and would use them again.

Stenson has performed in an excellent manner. Prompt Estimate. Work completed as agreed to on time. They always do an excellent job of clean up.

Dennis Dotson gave me an estimate approx 1st week in may. It took 2 weeks to get the work done. I put 650 downpayment on 5/4. When i came home on 5/19 the foreman asked for payment before the job was finished. I requested a flag for the mail box & PD them. They did not put up a flag. Dennis had to come back later & put one on.

Great service & very dependable!

They are really good. They are very detail-oriented and thorough. They are open to my ideas.

I contacted a few places on Angies List and fielded a few quotes. Stenson Landscaping was very competitive in their pricing and the person who came out helped me make the decisions that we felt were better for our yard. The workers were on time, friendly and professional. The only snag came up when they realized that they had made a mistake in the quote and not ordered enough of the rock. They were very up front and offered to eat the cost since it had been their error which I found refreshing. I didn't want to take advantage of the error, so we wound up sharing the costs. All in all, we're very pleased with how everything worked out in the end and we will definitely call Stenson Landscaping again in the future.

He is a good worker and he's got a good crew. I remember that from before and the crews this time were equally good. They're clean up is not great. He is a good guy and hard working guys. They are honest and I can trust them. I had to be there watching each and everything and they do quality and that's the thing I say that stands out the most. His price is a little steep and he's certainly not cheap. That's the one thing about him. They speak good English and they were polite to me. I bought them pizzas for lunch.
