I had a wonderful experience with Stefano's. They planned and installed a new patio, fencing and…read morelandscaping throughtout my yard. Jesse Shrewsbury came up with a very nice plan for my project and made great suggestions as we went along. I was very pleased that I got to personally select the shrubs along with Jesse at the nursery. Additonally, I'm sure they would have made the right selections for me if I didn't want that level of participation. Jesse was on-sight everyday and communicated with the team throughout the day to make sure no detail went unchecked. The team was truly a pleasure to work with. Everything was as promised, done in the timeframe that was stated, and surpassed my expectations.

The tenants emailed me to tell me that Stefano's was showing up at the property and basically…read moredriving around on their riding mower over a dead lawn. I received no phone call or notification from Stefano's about the fact that they have been for over a month "mowing" a dead lawn, or even that my lawn was dead in the first place and might need to be reseeded. To be fair, the tenants should have told me about it earlier, but it isn't their job. Stefano's is the company that I pay thousands of dollars a year to specifically to take care of this lawn!!!! For context, I have been using Stefano's landscaping since 2015, so 7 to 8 years now. Initially, when the company was smaller, they offered a customer friendly service that was attentive to individual customer needs. I live in the Montreal area and have relied on Stefano's landscaping to take care of the lawn for my property in Wakefield, MA, year after year. When I contacted them to ask why they had not advised me of the problem with the dead lawn, they blamed me for not watering the lawn, and that weekly mowings were a take it or leave it proposition whether or not the lawn is dead. They were completely insensitive to the fact I didn't know the lawn was dead, and that THEY DID KNOW and didn't advise me. Because they forced me to choose between weekly mowings or nothing, this left me no choice but to cancel the service. However, I thought it would be fair that they take responsibility for the many weeks they have now spent giving the lawn "services" consisting of driving to the property then driving around on a dead lawn without notifying me. Their response was to accuse me of being dissatisfied for wanting bi-weekly instead of weekly mowings (which was NOT the issue), accuse me of being inconsiderate for taking up other customers' time slots, and that they had after all "done things" on the property. Baffled by this response, I pointed out that this would result in a negative review online, after which they accused me of threatening to leave a negative review in retaliation for not receiving free "services" and that the owner of the company would contact their lawyer to sue me over this. IF IT IS NOT CLEAR FROM THE ABOVE, TO AVOID A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE, I WOULD RECOMMEND STAYING AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

Rick Cooper and his team did an AMAZING job. They were friendly, professional and communication was…read moretop notch. They were able to do the job within a tight timeframe - when a permit was required for our new and relocated driveway. Rick worked seamlessly with our town office and with our other contractors on the site. They also made sure the driveway would pitch properly for drainage. Check out the detailed work in the photo. They put asphalt down perfectly against our new stone patio. I would definitely recommend Rick Cooper Paving to anyone looking for a quality residential or commercial paving job.

He is consistently the best price in town but more importantly he is corteous, friendly, reliable and meticulous. He seems to make a point of over-delivering. He is the best VALUE in town. I would recommend TJ for any masonry or tile job. He had a team of people to support him with our tile job and they worked like a machine. First TJ adds value with input on stone, grout and trim. He arrives as scheduled to a) rip up our multiple layers of old flooring, b) add the appropriate height backerboard to get our tile to the proper height, c) lay tile so we could walk around our kitchen and hallway as he worked, d) grout and e) clean-up. This was no easy assignment - more than 300 sf of tiling with some crazy cuts to our flooring that stretched from our front entry foyer to our hallway and into our kitchen.

We also had a large patio and firepit installed a few years ago which turned out to be more difficult than planned due to a large amount of concrete underground. This also included a redo of our front yard. The project was still finished on time and still looks wonderful. Last year we had another patio completed and our yard leveled out which gives us another place to sit and enjoy yard games. It also looks great. We found J and R Fine Landscaping to be very responsive on all of our projects including smaller short notice needed yard maintenance projects. Jim Goddard always provided great advice on what we should do and what would look great but he would always work with what we wanted. We also found his estimates and pricing to be very competitive with real value.

Once the project kicked off his team was always on time and they worked tirelessly to complete the project. We will be working with Jim on all our landscaping projects. I recommend him!

Our new driveway looks like crap!! Use anyone's else but these guys!! I had really hoped being an…read morein town company they could be trusted... but they can not!!! The driveway has humps and low spots all over... in the winter we have puddles that freeze and are a constant hazard. It looked like this 6 months after getting installed. I specifically requested and paid for additional thickness for the sub base to ensure this would not occur... and also asked for extra thick layer of asphalt. But looking at the pictures you can see that they did neither! I contacted the company multiple times over the past... each time they assured me someone would be by to take a look and fix the issues. But no one ever showed up... they just kept leading me on for years. Well, I am sick of trying to chase them down. I again do not suggest using this company! They do not stand behind their work! They do not seem to care about your contract for specs of the depth of sub base or top layer... and only do the job the cheapest way they can... which does not even last 6months! Wish I could give fewer stars!
