Stewart Lawn & Landscaping

I'm not sure how Stewart's Lawn Service is, but I can without a doubt NOT recommend them for landscaping. As soon as they deposited my down payment for our project, it became a huge disappointing nightmare! From lack of communication, to flat out lying to us and lying about us (in their internal records system - saying we had picked finishes or that they had talked to us, or that they couldn't get a hold of us), to poor workmanship - I would never in a million years recommend them to do any backyard project. We had them replace retaining walls, concrete patio and steps, and install stone steps in our back yard. I'm not sure the retaining walls were installed properly (I don't think the french drain drains anywhere), the stone steps had to be repositioned 4 times, the pavers that were installed had to be re-done in one section because they created a tripping hazard around our pool, and the concrete steps look like a 4 year old played with modeling clay (and that was after they came out 3 times to fix them). Dirt that was dug up was haphazardly thrown in the yard - and only when we complained did they attempt to make it look leveled out. I had requested an itemized project estimate - give me a general idea as to where they came up with their final estimate for each part of our project - and never received that. Also never received a project drawing/rendering prior to the start of our project. Had I known anything about landscaping projects - I would have been adamant about getting those prior to giving a deposit. Overall, very disappointed to have spent so much money and not love the outcome.

From the very beginning everyone was responsive and professional. Austin listened to our ideas and turned them into a well thought out hardscape drawing. There was ample opportunity for revisions and choice of materials. Billy (the supervisor) was responsive and communicated with us daily to provide updates and answered any questions or concerns we had. The workers were hardworking, diligent and respectful of the property and anxious to please. The walls, patio and plantings turned out beautifully, beyond our expectation. The project turned a muddy grassless yard into a beautiful oasis. We would highly recommended this company and particularly Billy !

So happy with the beautiful fence the team build around my yard. It was put up so quickly and I’m always pleased with the continued lawn services.

The job went very good I am pleased with my new patio. These guys are PRO’S all the way!!

Job was first rate from the design thru completion. Many of our neighbors have used Stewart Lawn and Landscape for their patios. The crew was on time and very clean. The family really enjoys the new living space complete with fire pit..

I must advise anyone looking to switch to Stewart Lawn & Landscape to BE WARY! Sadly, my yard has never looked so disappointing. I used to get all kinds of compliments on my yard until I switched to Stewart this year and now my yard is COVERED in all kinds of weeds, crabgrass, Nutsedge to brown/bare spots everywhere. My neighbors repeatedly have asked me what has gone wrong? It is quite embarrassing. I am starting to tell them I think I made a mistake and switched to Stewart Lawn & Landscape and am paying them THOUSANDS of dollars for this disaster! I'll be happy to provide anyone with additional photos or even my address to come by and look at what you will be getting for Over $5k worth of service from this company. Again, BE WARY! Look at other companies before going with Stewart Lawn & Landscape! I have even called them several times to try and find out what's going on. They have done NOTHING more than what they have already been paid for to fix this disaster! I'll be publishing this review on other social media sites as well so they can't hide it. My yard to look much nicer than the neighbors' yards you see in the photos. NOT ANYMORE!!

Very nice company to work with, very responsive. They did a beautiful job, and our yard has never looked nicer. Very reasonable pricing. We will definitely use their services again!

We have been pleased with Stewart's work.

It was amazing! They really captured my vision for our new pool! Now they cut the grass and we love the crape murtle they put in. Highly recommend them! Chris and Austin were awesome!

ok..went well. They did a good job

The process itself went fine but three to four weeks later, once the roots took place it started to die. I called and called and finally they sent out a rep, twice, to 1-tell me to go buy fertilizer and the 2nd time i was told he didnt know what was wrong he would have to show pics and talk to others and get back to me which never happened. After having to call them again, i was told it must have picked up a fungus. That was the last I heard from them, except of course when they wanted the rest of their money!

For years and many thousands of dollars it was OK - not great, but OK, and convenient and office was very professional. Then, a couple of years ago they did a very bad small landscaping job. I still stick with them. Finally, this summer, they actually killed my lawn and acknowledged that there had been a problem with their last application. Their attitude about it was unsatisfactory. I had paid more than the services used on this year's contract. They say you can terminate anytime without penalty. I have now been waiting about 5 months for a refund they acknowledged is due me. After several months they had said they would make the refund to my credit card if I gave them the number. I did not do business with them by credit card! As if I would give my credit card number to a company I no longer trusted to do business with!

Chris and his team were amazing. We had a tricky backyard to work with and they managed to do a great job. Their attention to detail and timeliness made the project a success. In the end, we are in love with our new backyard patio. GREAT JOB STEWART!!!

Thank you so much for all your hard work!!!!! We can't tell you how excited we are to be working with such an amazing team. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!! We can't wait to see what you do next.

This is a follow-up on my experience having Stewart L & L install some sod. After my initial review, I emailed them pictures of the sod rolls prior to being installed - 78 rolls (780 sq feet) as stated in the contract. Only 650 sq feet of sod was installed - they took 13 rolls with them at the end of the install. The owner said they had purchased 13 extra rolls - just in cast they were needed. Was informed that he did care what the pictures showed or what the how many rolls were installed sod were counted. I had counted the pieces of installed sod. I rounded that up to 650 sq feet as I may have misjudged a couple of partial rolls during the count. Add that to the 13 rolls (130 sq feet) returned, you get the 780 sq feet as called out in the contract - no extra rolls of sod…. Not sure where that extra 13 rolls of sod went, but it was never brought on to my property, nor was I reimbursed for the 130 sq feet of sod and the labor to install it. Wish I had the installers do a sod roll count and both installers sign a written inventory…. Problem: The quality of materials and workmanship was poor at best. The “top soil” brought to the job site was junk fill dirt. It contained rocks, sand, branches and other debris. I informed the lead installer that it was unacceptable and to stop unloading it from the truck. The lead installer had called someone for instructions as what should be done. He informed me that he would have to go to a local nursery to get new top soil as instructed by his boss. Problem: The installers did not have a sod roller or sod tamper. I provided my tamper for the installers to use to ensure that the sod is solidly in contact with the soil surface and removes small bumps and air pockets as recommended by sod companies. Problem: Sod laid near the lawn surface drain created a barrier between the drain and the existing lawn. I had to pull half of this sod back, scraped off the top soil, and dig out a couple of inches of dirt to restore the drainage slope. Problem: Many gaps are visible between the pieces of sod - some are big. Some of the sod, the lower cut edge is visible above the old grass lawn. Problem: Many areas where the new sod meets the existing lawn, the new sod is above the existing lawn - the underside edge of the new sod is visible. Including most of the flat edging along the retaining wall. I did not expect that I would have to fill in so many gaps between pieces of sod, nor have to redo so much of the edging where new sod meets the existing lawn- just so bring the new sod level where it is not so far above the existing grass that it drys out and starts to die. Not sure what Stewart L & L did with all the sod that I can not find in my yard, but I know that I paid for it and the labor that would have installed it.... They have chosen to keep that as extra profit. I have no idea what what kind of experience you will have if you use them for sod work, but I know what my experience I had. Hope you have netter luck than I had...

What can I say – Stewart Landscape is one of the best. They have a great selection. Their service is hand's down the best around. We used Ricky to consult on some landscaping in our front lawn, and could not be more pleased with the result. He was spot on in his recommendations, and the knock-out roses look amazing! Thanks!

Four years after Stewart Landscape completed my garden, I needed a little technical "tune up", and contacted Ron . He was extremely responsive and was able to fit my little project in sooner than I expected. In my review 4 years ago, I commented on how much I liked how he treated his workers with respect and dignity-- not just as "laborers". Nothing has changed-- in fact, his main project manager is still with him! No wonder his business is thriving! Once again, I highly recommend Stewart Landscape!

In a word, badly. Promised calls never returned. Pathetic communications. Job started after need by date. Non-english speaking work crew did not pre-paint adapters or above grade drain pipes. Crew used my drain pipes and adapters that they were required to supply. Crew did not remove downspout 45 elbows. Crew painted pop-up valves white (wrong). Joints to downspouts looked terrible: One adapter was not inserted into the drain pipe above grade. More un-retunred calls to re-schedule to fix all screw-ups. Returning crew did not have all parts to properly complete rework resulting in more delays. Final install was acceptable. Cannot recommend this company to anyone. Management is horrible.

I have used them for 2 or 3 years.

I would use them again. It usually takes probably about 15-20 minutes. They are good. 

They do a nice, neat job.

Everything always goes well. The staff are always professional, whether they are on the phone, in person or performing the work. The workers come in uniforms and communicate well.

Extremely well-this is my third job with Stewart. The craftsmanship and collaborative design was outstanding. Notwithstanding some camilias in the front courtyard were well out of warranty, they noticed they were not taking and replace them. Austin is outstanding at all aspects and is very responsive to even the smallest question.
