They brought drawings, but we didn’t use them as we didn’t quite like the price. They were on time and were pretty thorough. We understood what we were paying for, but the price was just too much. I was surprised at the price that we got. They really seemed to know what they were doing.

Thank you for your report but if price was the issue then why didn't you contact us to notify us of that. Also everyone elses prices must have been to high also because none of the badly needed repairs have been done to those walls and it has been 3 years. I am not trying to be rude but masonry is not a cheap fix if it is done properly. If you need me to I would be hapy to come back out and discuss alternative ways of accomplishing the project goals we discussed 3 years ago.

They were good and provided excellent service. They really worked with us to understand our requirements. They came back and modified the designs. They completed the project on time. One of our plants died and so they came and replaced it. So, it was good and it looks really nice now. They are not the cheapest as well.
Description of Work: We used the services of Stopa Landscaping in summer of last year. They came in and did some garden designs for us in the past.

I called Stopa based on the excellent ratings given here. Jeff called me back promptly. We arranged a time for him to look at the job, At the appointed time, he called and told me he had missed my exit. Half an hour later he called again and said he had missed the exit going the other way, but that now it was too late to come because he had to be somewhere else. We agreed that he would come the next morning at 10AM. When he failed to arrive the next morning, I called and left a message asking if he was coming. I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM AGAIN.

Response from Stopa Landscaping
As a business owner I do apologize for not getting over to your property my gps did not give me accurate directions to your house and since you said you did not know how to direct me to your home that day I was not able to make it.I did notify you of that. As for not getting back to you I did not recieve a message from you as to when we would reschedule. On another note on that day I had a very tragic death in my family which did mean me having to be out of state for a week. So it is entirely possible with all going on I regretably did forget to contact you in the confusion that followed. If you read my reports I do call everyone back and meet with them again I do apologize and take responsibility for not getting back to you.

In July, 2008 I contracted with Stopa Landscaping to remove a brick patio behind my condo. The patio was edged with railroad ties that were rotting and bricks were collapsing due to an improperly installed patio years ago. Jeff gave me an estimate to replace this failing brick patio with one I love! I also had the patio raised to meet my sliding glass doors so I could enter and exit my unit without worry of falling. Jeff's crew came in and gave me exactly what I wanted! Since I live in a condo complex they were mindful of my neighbors. They did an outstanding job! The colors of the brick work perfectly with the area. They replaced three overgrown juniper trees with flowering trees. The entire job has made such a difference. Should have done it sooner.
Description of Work: Not sure of the size but I had to have my rotting railroad tie, collapsing brick patio replaced in back of my condo unit. I also had the fencing replaced as the fence was rotting along with the railroad ties.

Jeff struck us for his wonderful attitude from when we first called him. Once he arrived, he and his guys worked with us until we were perfectly satisfied with placement of the trees. His price too was lower than at least two other estimates, by over 30% no less! We loved him so much we had him back to clean gutters and will call on him again next season for some more landscaping.
Description of Work: Planted 5 hemlocks.

Jeff and Jen were very professional and easy to work with and their design software is very cool. They returned calls promptly and showed up when they said they would. When everything was planted, it seemed a lot smaller than the images I had been shown, which was disappointing. Also, Jeff's crew would not dispose of some synthetic mulch we had so we had to remove that ourselves. I didn't understand why this was a problem since the price included a dump fee and this issue had not come up in the evaluation and/or proposal. Those two issues aside, it was a good experience.
Description of Work: Cleared my front yard of overgrown shrubbery, bushes, etc., and created a landscape design based on my specification and then implemented the design.

Jeff Stopa was one of the few landscapers to return my phone call within a day. I met Jeff within a few days of our phone call to discuss what my husband and I wished to have done in our back yard. His designer Jen then came to our home to create a landscape design which we received within a few days of her consultation. Not only did we receive a landscape plat but also digitally enhanced pictures of what our back yard landscaping would look like when done. Jeff and Jen were extremely easy to work with and always good on their word as to when they would come for appointments. Jeff had to coordinate his work with the fence company's work and that also went very well. I would highly recommend Stopa Landscaping to anyone who wants old fashion service and reliability.

The experience has been excellent. The communication has been great, the design is wonderful and the execution has been a pleasure. They are very punctual, keep the work site clean, the stone mason is an artist and having the benefit of a very talented designer on the job site has made this a "no regret" project. I am so pleased that I have decided to move on to another part of the project with them.
Description of Work: Stopa's Landscaping cleared approximately a third of my wooded and sloped acre lot. Once cleared, they presented a landscape plan for the entire property. he plan was presented, at my request, with the idea that the work would be done over time as opposed to all at once. Deciding to move forward, they began work on an area that needed regrading, a stone retaining wall built, fill added, decorative rock placement, laying a stone path and creating new beds and then planting them.

My garden won second place in the 2006 Greater Fairfield Board of Realtors competition for curb appeal and received their praise for making Fairfield a beautiful place to live. I had solicited several bids for this project and selected Stopa Landscaping. His price was very competitive and his references impeccable. I also viewed several other designs they did in the Greater Fairfield area including another project that won second place in the 2005 Fairfield Board of Realtors competition. The project began on the date promised and was completed in a timely manner. His crews arrived on time daily and each day they left the property clean and presentable throughout the project which took several days to complete due in part to the extra stonework. I am confident in recommending this company to anyone seeking a creative and reputable landscaper. He has a website: www.stopalandscaping.com
Description of Work: Established a perennial garden approximately 75' by 30' in my front yard, edged with Belgian block. Project included encasing my concrete porch and stairs with bluestone slabs, and installing a bluestone sidewalk and a field stone garden path meandering through the garden beds. Design layout formulated by Jeff Stopa and his landscape designer and incorporated my desires as well. I now have a combination of evergreen shrubs and perennial plants that offer bloom color throughout the spring, summer, and fall. This landscaper has stone masons on staff as well as several maintenance crews and my stonework receives many compliments. I shopped several design firms prior to selecting Stopa Landscaping and found his pricing very competitive and the quality of work excellent. The project was started on the date planned and completed in a timely manner
