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!

I was harassed by the owners to the point I had to involve the police and get a lawyer and more security camera. They came yelling at my door and windows because they didn't like being told that you pick up stuff not just go around it and throw it somewhere else on the property as well as video from other owners of them doing it too. I have video of these people also breaking my window screen and have lied about replacing it and it's been broken since December 2021 and it's now 2022 ( I still have the broken screen). They violated my rights as an owner . Tried to tell us that we couldn't have cameras or pictures even if it's our security camera. Hopefully you have a good lawyer if your hiring these human.

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!

On response to my call a representative immediately came out (on a Saturday) to assess the situation and promised a crew mid morning on Monday. At the start of the Monday morning a crew was here setting up a giant crane and chipper. The tree was expertly picked up from the back - swung over the house and into the chipper area. All the mess was quickly removed and big logs set aside. A few hours later a second team arrived to remove all the large logs and remaining trunk. Site was perfectly clean and cut to below grade. No collateral damage and a job well done. Totally impressive and highly recommended.
