Sterling Landscaping did an outstanding job on my yard. It had been neglected for awhile and they offered to stay extra at a reasonable price to get everything it needed done. I was shocked when I saw how fantastic it looked and all that was accomplished. My brick patio was buried under weeds and now it looks like new. I was so impressed I signed up for their regular maintenance plan and was extremely relieved when they were able to shovel me out of the last snow storm despite having worked 20 hours straight. Christian and his crew are amazing.

I found them on Angie's List and I liked them so far. So far, so good. I picked them because they responded right away. They have an email and a phone. They're more professional. It's worth paying a little more to get somebody who's responsive. They come in their uniforms and they're professional in dealing with clients.

They went very well. He was very good. We're not currently using them because of the distance where they have to travel. We just went with somebody local this year but they were very good. They were very professional, they were young. They did a nice job. We were very satisfied with what they did. I found their price a little high but not bad.
Response from Sterling Lawn & Landscape
"Thank you for the nice review [Member Name Removed], I apologize we were no longer able to remain competitive with pricing this year compared to more local companies. It is always a challenge with routine lawn maintenance accounts that are a little further away from Aquidneck Island. Fueling trucks and driving time is always a factor in pricing so unfortunately we can be more expensive than a company that is located closer to you. I am glad you were satisfied with our services and as always if you ever need any landscaping in the future give us a call!"

It went just fair with Sterling Lawn & Landscape. They are extremely difficult to get a hold of. They are poor in terms of timeliness in terms of getting back to me, it's just bad communication. The work that they did was fine but it was very difficult to get them to actually come and do the work.
Response from Sterling Lawn & Landscape
"I am very sorry the scheduling of this particular project through the Big Deal Promotion did not go as planned from the start. Due to how Angie's List ran their Big Deal Promotion we have decided not to use it in the future. It was a one time trial to see how it would work bringing in new business and came extremely recommended by them. Since the promotions were purchased before myself or my company was contacted or consulted about the job itself it proved extremely difficult to handle the inflow of expected deadlines and job parameters etc. that multiple clients had before agreeing to do it. The Big Deal representative led us to believe there would be communication between the client and our company before they were able to purchase the deal. This is our fault entirely and we have remedied the problem completely by not allowing the use of such promotional deals to be purchased without meeting with the actual client prior to discuss expectations and deadlines of the job to be certain we can meet them before agreeing to do it. We were put in an unfortunate bind last year by Angie's List running that add the way it was. In any case I apologize again for any inconvenience this may have caused and as always if you would like any additional landscaping in the future we will make sure it is taken care of directly through us and meets your standards."

This was a "big deal" which advertised $149 for 4 Hours of Landscaping/Yard Clean-up.  When I contacted the provider about the job, I informed him I just needed them to pick up branches and twigs throughout the yard and cart them away.  He explained that carting away was not part of the service and that, apparently, that was in the fine print of the "big deal."  It may have been, I never checked.  He wanted several hundred more dollars to cart the waste away.
I do think it is misleading to advertise as "clean up" if removing the waste is not included.  I ended up just telling him to stack the waste in a pile and we would take care of getting it hauled.  Then, it took a very long time to get him to schedule the job.  Perhaps without the extra fees, it was no longer an economically attractive prospect.  Who knows?  We were waiting on him to finish this job so someone else could do grass seeding on the property and it was an inconvenience to us to have to put off the other job until he finally got around to this one.  We ended up having to threaten to ask Angie's list for a refund in order to get him to do the job.  (Incidentally, if he had done a good job on the clean up, the seeding job would have gone to him as well.)
I will say that once he did the job (without the carting away), it was thoroughly done.

"I am very sorry for the problems associated with this project. It was a result of another Big Deal Promotion that was not planned properly from the start. Because of how Angie's List decided to run their Big Deal Promotion we have decided to not use it in the future after it led to various problems on many of the deals that were purchased. It was a one time trial and came extremely recommended by them. The promotions were purchased before myself or my company was contacted or consulted about the work to be performed and it quickly proved extremely difficult to handle the inflow of expected deadlines and job parameters etc. that multiple clients had in mind upon purchasing the deal before we agreed to do it. The Big Deal representative led us to believe there would be communication between the client and our company before they were able to purchase the deal. I do appreciate the reference to how thorough the job was performed. We do try to complete all work leaving it as clean as possible. I am sorry the 149.00 did not cover the hauling away of materials, another oversight of how the representative generated the page used to purchase the promotion in which you weren't able to view that clearly I presume. This in turn could have easily been discussed if like I explained before we were able to speak with clients before the actual purchasing of the deal which is how it was supposed to be ran. In any case, this is our fault entirely and we have remedied the problem completely by not allowing the use of such promotional deals to be purchased without meeting with the actual client prior to discuss expectations and deadlines of the job to be certain we can meet them before agreeing to do it. We were put in an unfortunate bind last year by Angie's List running that add the way it was.

They are excellent!! I needed landscaping done on a completely neglected property. They were busy, but were wonderful at squeezing me in when they had a few spare hours so that when they could commit full days, they finished the job really quickly. They did an outstanding job making the property look cared for and maintained. They were very reasonably priced and were very clear about their estimate and stuck to it. They were great to work with.

I asked Sterling to clean the dog yard, trim all the shrubbery, and remove the debris.
He cleaned the dog yard thoroughly; neatly trimmed the shrubbery there and all around the house; and carefully collected and hauled away the cut branches. 
All told, I was extremely pleased with the outcome:  Christian is honest, likeable, does a good job, and charges a fair price. 
I recommend him highly for quality yard care.

I had arranged for two hours, of landscaping work through an Angie's List special, but the gentleman from Sterling finished the needed service with time to spare, and did a thorough job of removing debris and cleaning up.  I was very pleased with the results.

Christian called me and told me what he could do for the $149 special and told me he would be there next week.  He showed up next week just as promised and delivered more than promised.
I was so impressed that I hired him as my landscaper

This is a small firm run by a young smart guy- URI grad who knows his stuff and is very professional and courteous. I prefer him to the collection of overpriced and careless companies that seem to dominate the landscaping industry on Aquidneck Island.
Response from Sterling Lawn & Landscape
"Can't thank you enough for this review! I have tried very hard to separate my company from the vast majority of others on Aquidneck Island. A proper and modern knowledge base is one way, in addition to ensuring good communication at all times with a client and their needs as well as goals is another. These are only a couple things we do differently. Overall I'm very happy to see that you are pleased with our services. We are always available for additional work and look forward to servicing you in the future."

Christian Sullivan is the owner of the company and he does snow removal and landscaping. I spent $150 on that service. It has been very good so far. He is very conscientious and he is young and it is like a start up business. He always comes through with everything. I continue to use him because he is reliable, cares and has a lot of knowledge about landscaping.
