Mike at Stuteville Landscaping truly went above and beyond. We were in the early stages of looking for a landscaper and had a lot of questions, and he took the time to walk us through everything during a weekend phone call. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and easy to talk to. What really stood out was how generous he was with his time--he never made us feel rushed and answered every question thoroughly. That level of service and care is hard to find, and we were honestly amazed. Highly recommend reaching out to him. read more

From the first call to the finished project, Mike and Eric with their team provided an exceptional experience. We hired them to replace an old, failing wooden retaining wall with a new cinderblock one and we couldn't be happier with the results. I spoke to Mike first and he was very helpful and informative and patiently answered all my questions. He and his team kept this responsiveness and quality experience throughout the whole project. This company is also very honest. They accidentally underquoted me for the project, but they honored their original price without hesitation. They also demonstrated flexibility by working with me on scheduling and adapting to our needs. I had a question about our sprinkler system after they finished and they got back to me with an answer right away. Not only do I think the new retaining wall looks fantastic, but even my gardener, who sees a lot of this type of work, was impressed. He commented that he could tell Stuteville Landscaping took their time, didn't skip any steps, and performed high-quality work. If you're looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled landscaping company, look no further than Stuteville Landscaping. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we highly recommend them! read more

**UPDATE March 2025** Eric and Mike are a class act and were more than willing to repair and work with me on an underground leak in a gas line they put in during installation of our backyard in late 2023. As with all things Stuteville Landscaping, communication was consistent and ideas were heard. It was not easy to track down the leak, but the crew at Stuteville got it repaired. If you are weighing numerous bids and Stuteville is an option, know you will get top notch customer service and work on your landscape. They may not always be the cheapest option, but their accountability and communication is worth the premium in my opinion. read more

We hired Eric and his team to re-do some pavers, demo a gazebo, install a new gazebo, and replace some fencing. From the first meeting with Eric, we received clear and thorough communication, and they were able to get started on the work super quickly. The whole team (Eric, Antonio, etc.) was excellence - cleaned up at the end of every day, communicated well, etc. The level of detail and quality of work is unmatched! This was our second time hiring Stuteville Landcaping, and would definitely hire again! read more

Eric from Stuteville Landscaping was incredibly helpful. He listened attentively to our needs and considered our budget, helping us prioritize our landscaping goals. The team's work exceeded our expectations, keeping our yard, pool area, walkways, and driveway clean and functional while the work was being done While we focused on drainage work and to most it might go unnoticed, but it's a solid foundation for future improvements. We're confident in recommending Stuteville Landscaping and look forward to working with them again. Thank you for a job well done! read more

I can't say enough freaking great things about Eric and the crew with Stuteville Landscaping. 6 years ago we moved into a 1947 home with no upgrades since the '50s. We have since remodeled a few thingsbut it was finally time to tackle the albatross out front. We decided to pull out all of that water guzzling 1950 grass front yard and make some usable space: the folks at Stuteville Landscaping made the plans come to life! Eric is very particular about the work his crew does and pays great attention to detail. His crew is hard working and pleasant. Christian is the lead/foreman and he's readily available and busts his butt to do right by the customer! The crew does need some instruction on how to correctly plant plants and trees; they were not digging a large enough hole for some of the plants and they had to come back and replant a few. However, this was done quickly and without any fuss. I'd say everything is perfect. I am so glad we chose Eric and the crew at Stuteville Landscaping! read more

I originally gave these guys a positive review because they finished my landscaping project quickly & didn't have any reviews, so I was willing to help them grow the business. Since then, the durability of their work & follow-up to address it, has been terrible. I paid them $40,000 for a variety of front & backyard landscaping, including two custom walkways, colored & stamped, a custom trellis across the entire front of my house, & a new fence w/ gate to seal off the front from back yard. They never asked if I wanted to or even recommended sealing the concrete or lumber shown in all these photos, so what do you think happened to it all in the intense heat & sun of a Placer County summer? It's all faded now to look old & dingy, only 1.5 years later. Maybe being a first time home owner & or not a contractor means I was the dumb one for not knowing to ask about sealers to protect color & look, but other contractors & service providers I've used before, have actually given me that recommendation. Besides, shouldn't that be part of the scope of work? So I'm unaware & or dumb, fair enough, but when I reached out to them multiple times, they responded that it looked like it needed sealing; really??? When I asked if they could help or give ideas, both times they said yes, & never followed through. One of the times I asked, was when I was standing out in front of my house & one of the owners drove by, ignored my wave, then replied he didn't think it was me when I texted him; yup, still the same stalky bald guy in front of the same house you just did 1.5 years ago. They had a job in my neighborhood & that he'd stop by the next day to take a look... It also reminds me that when they graded & prepped my front yard for planting 15-20 trees, plants, & shrubs, they started with hand tools in this dry hard Rocklin caliche...like it was 1849. I asked them if they wanted to use MY gas-powered auger, & they jumped at that offer; seems like a tool that landscapers should have. They're about $200 at Harbor Freight. In summary, they did a decent job in a timely manner, but were not thoughtful & or thorough enough to make sure their work would stand up over time. Not only have they been non-responsive, but its kind of funny that I've had people who've done way smaller, less costly work on my house, come back by multiple times to check on their work & or my satisfaction. Not these guys though; they must be too busy with new work, so good for them. I would just think $40,000 buys you more. Then again, it's just like, my opinion, man. read more

Had them come over to quote our front and backyard projects. We were told we'd receive the quote within a couple of business days. It's been almost two weeks and still no quote. I reached out to check in since we hadn't received the quote yet and never got a response. read more

I contacted Stuteville Landscaping and 2 others for a quote on a backyard project. All 3 businesses quoted me similar figures. Above the rest Stuteville Landscaping stood out... let me tell you why... 1. Mike and Eric came out to check out my property. They listened, took measurements and gave me an accurate quote within the next day! I was shocked, my quote ended up in spam and Mike had to text me to see if I got it. The other quotes I received else where took 1 week 1/2 to calculate the quote. 2. Communication and Care is key with this company! I had a specific week off that the backyard project could be done by. Stuteville assured me that it was possible and they would do their best to finish in a week. 3. I went with Stuteville. My husband and I put all the quotes together but what made us feel comfortable was the level of professionalism and communication Mike and Eric both had. 4. First day of demolition- the crew was timely and super nice. There was like 6-8 guys (I'm prob exaggerating) but these guy meant business. Mike sent over a check off list of what was to happen each day. Eric communicated to me and my husband everyday. The lead foreman Jose and architect Christian were a dynamic duo as well. 5. Everyday the crew was timely, professional, clean, and they all cared! 6. My family and I were extremely happy with the services Stuteville Landscaping has provided and we plan to use them again in the future! 7. Stuteville fixed side house concrete tripping hazard, rewired electricity for pergola, Contracted ppl for pergola, demolished old planter boxes, stamped concrete foundation, and created stone benches with lighting, redid sprinklers, added mow strip and wood chips all in 8 days!!! Thank you Eric, Mike, Jose, and Christian! We wish you all well! A+ overall. Stood out in communication, execution, listened to what I wanted, timely. No BS! They are the best. read more

I am a return customer & once again couldn't be happier w the job Eric & Mike's team did on a pergola they built in my backyard. We have an existing pergola & I wanted to add an exact replica in our yard so we could put a chaise under it. The finished project was perfection. It looks like it was built at the same time as the existing pergola. I can't say enough about how much I love the owners, the crew & the workmanship Stuteville Landscaping has displayed. They have a customer for life in me. Give them a call. You will NOT be disappointed!! read more

We had a great experience with Stuteville Landscaping. We've been in our new house for a few summers and while we loved the backyard, we were seriously lacking shade. Full sun all afternoon, haphazard concrete, and constantly moving umbrellas to try to provide a few minutes of shade when hosting get togethers was getting old fast. After lots of research we reached out to Stuteville and we really appreciated the straight forward approach to the quote and lack of upselling (an issue with other bids). Stuteville installed the concrete, turf, and project managed the pergola installation and provided a recommendation for where to go for our outdoor kitchen needs. It took a bit longer than originally planned as we decided to go with permanent shade structures which can open to allow sun or close to provide shade.... as opposed to prefab independently standing structures (as a result we needed permits), but I'm so happy we did because the space feels airy and open which was a real priority for our family. We did have one incident where my husband backed over a can of spray paint being used by the Stuteville team. I'm 99% sure it was my husbands fault and just really unlucky placement of the paint can, but Stuteville immediate got a guy out to get the paint off the truck and another company out to re-asphalt the impacted area of the drive way. Which was above and beyond. Overall great guys, incredibly professional team, they worked hard to stage the project to allow the most time for us to have usable space around the pool and always went out of their way to ensure the space was safe as possible for my 6,4, and 1.5 year old who still were able to use the pool during the construction period. read more

Stuteville Landscaping is 12yrs young. Cousins Mike Franklin and Eric Stuteville learned the business as young teens from their grandfather. Initially hesitant getting a quote from a newer company, BUT after meeting Mike, head of sales/marketing/design, I really liked his progressive and innovative thoughts along with his friendliness and the ease of conveying my ideas. Once signed, Eric heads all aspects of construction: crews, scheduling and materials. Eric was awesome, always just a call or text away when he wasn't here on site. Huge factor for me, the crew was here daily for 5wks in the extreme July heat ... from start to completion of my project! Part of Stuteville's success is Antonio, manages site and crew. Antonio is the hardest hands on worker and knows every facet of landscaping! I met with him each morning to review the scope of day's work. He also insures his crew tidies up daily. Construction: Toll Bros drainage is a concern in this development. Stuteville removed all the existing flexible tubing and drain grates with 3" PVC piping and a linear drain along the entire face of the planter box. Antonio built a separate pressure treated redwood box and concrete blocks 6" from the existing fence. Concrete Work: Side walkway from front and entire back patio. Forms, thickness, color additive, joints, stamped and broom finish nicely done without a single crack! My vision came to full fruition...absolutely beautiful!! Thank You Stuteville Landscaping!!!! read more

Incredible from start to finish! Eric and his crew worked efficiently and brought our space to life! Our backyard looks and functions beautifully. Professionalism is top notch. I appreciate having excellent communication throughout the entire project! If we ever had questions or concerns we would hear back so quickly. We will for certain use Stuteville to do our front yard next as well! read more

I had a great conversation with Mike at Stuteville. He was transparent, provided me guidance on my backyard remodel, and referred me to someone who he'd worked with who was more aligned with my scope of work. Even though I didn't hire Mike and Stuteville, I really appreciated his help and now we're on track to get our project done with his friend. Highly recommend having a conversation as we couldn't have gotten our project done without his guidance! read more

We found Stuteville Landscaping on Yelp and were so impressed with their great reviews we started discussions on our complete front yard makeover. From the very first conversation with Mike we had complete confidence that the job would be done right. Eric took over to manage the plans and subsequent work. His crew are incredibly hard workers, know what they are doing and their attention to detail is fantastic. The team is a great group of talented, hard working folks. Their designer proposed some wonderful ideas and we couldn't be happier with the end result. So happy in fact that we are already in talks for a backyard makeover in the spring. If you want a beautiful yard done with attention to every last detail, Stuteville Landscaping is the team that will get your project done right. read more

They priced things that are way higher than it should be. They are also rude and not unfriendly

We highly recommend the Stuteville Landscaping team. They were responsive, started and finished our project in a timely manner, and worked with us to select options that fit within our preferred budget. Our project wasn't the most exciting in the world: a fence replacement, deck repair, sod replacement, and raised bed/privacy screen installation. But Mike, Eric, Freddy, and the larger team attacked the job with gusto and treated every detail of the project like they were working on their own home. The final product is top notch--and was completed in plenty of time to enjoy the summer months outside. Great job, Stuteville! read more

Eric and his crew are honest, hardworking and did a fabulous job executing our backyard plan. They were timely, clean and respectful of our space. We had just installed a pool and they made the backyard complete with their beautiful work. We cannot recommend them more highly. read more

The process of accepting an estimate as sole homeowner and going forward with contracted work, regardless of the type of work, can be daunting & fraught with anxiety. Not so this time--although this is not the first landscaping project I have tackled. I first met Mike Franklin, who walked through the space with me and listened to my suggestions. Next I worked with Matthew Vasquez, whose landscape design skills were evident and I was impressed by, and presented me with blueprints for the yards, featuring thumbnail photos of all the flowering low-maintenance plants that were part of his proposal. Then, when I realized I had a plethora of information to sift through, I could see I could not afford the cost of the project as estimated. I couldn't in good conscience sign an agreement for that price. So I re-worked the entire estimate thoroughly on my own, made a lot of modifications, replied to Mike & Eric in a timely manner, and we were able to compromise on a less expensive proposal--and we all felt comfortable with the result. I was so pleased I could still hire them for the work using my revised estimate. Stuteville Landscaping swung into action within days of the bid acceptance. One thing that was not anticipated was how much infrastructure was needed--the back yard had no drainage, the concrete had been poured once by the builders of the house, and once again by the previous owners. Now the concrete level was too high. Unexpected things like that. But plans were not halted, that's what was so great. The landscapers took it in stride. This was a complete overhaul of a back yard and redesign of a front yard, and it took less than 2 weeks (the yards are pretty small). It's beautiful now, has a water feature, trees, a few boulders, new concrete of course and trellises with star jasmine to climb the fences and provide a green screen--eventually. And Eric Stuteville is one of a kind. Take the time to chat with him, you will find out what I mean. Being professional seems to come naturally to him. So, to sum up, I have no negative criticism to offer, only constructive critique: all the way through, beginning to end, this was a comfortable process for me. I'm happy with the result, because honestly, it was a collaboration. If hiring landscapers is in your future, just remember to consider all factors, ask plenty of questions, and take each step slowly....my advice! read more

Stuteville Landscaping - Section of the back yard with new electrical outlet and fountain - Landscaping Near Me

Stuteville Landscaping completed our backyard renovation this spring and we could not be happier. From our first meeting with Eric and Mike, we immediately felt comfortable and picked their company over 2 other bids. Eric was super communicative and prompt, we never had any issues with questions, quotes, or changed that were not addressed immediately. Eric and Mike also reviewed our landscape plans and quickly recommended changes based on our house layout and sun exposure and we could not be happier with the final outcome. Also, the project leader/manager Christian, was fantastic and was always here answering questions or correcting anything that needed to be fixed. Due to weather delays mid-project, additional time was needed to complete but the team made sure the area was cleaned and picked up when work was complete each day. We will be using this team again once we are ready for more changes on our property. read more

We did not decide to go with Mike. Two things- he was very nice, responsive to my call and appt time. Loved the conversation and the discussion on the yard details to be replaced. Removal of our lawn, replace with pebble, pee gravel, 10 flag stones along the side ad a walkway, and a small amount of bender board. Basically, we are taking our lawn out to create a water-resistant yard. His itemized quote was $12,000 and change. Now other estimates we received were the same process. Had an appt, conversation about scope and so forth. Two other quotes- $ 2300 and $ 2950. The itemized scope on all three quotes were pretty much identical. We actually went with the $2950 quote cause we liked the crew who came out and they seemed to really invest in the details. Our yard is not huge, basic burb backyard. So check your quotes! They were 5 times the amount! read more

We are so happy with our full backyard remodel. It did take longer than expected, but we didn't mind because they went above and beyond to make sure everything was how we wanted it, and they even found and fixed a gas leak we didn't know about!

The end result exceeded my expectations. They were creative, responsive, efficient and a good value for the quality of work we received. We will definitely be using them on future projects.

Stuteville Landscaping is the one. Stop your search. I cannot recommend Stuteville highly enough. The owner, Eric, was fair, professional, and communicative throughout our project. Our project first consisted of a demo of a wooden patio cover, two large stucco columns, a raised rock covered flower bed, and removal of a palm tree stump. Once the demo was completed, we needed new concrete, privacy lattice on top of our side fence, and a couple smaller fences to block pool equipment and garbage cans. All work was done very efficiently, especially while working around poor weather conditions. Our job also consisted of an install of a new aluminum patio cover that was completed by We Got You Covered (another 5 star contractor if you are looking for a patio cover . . . we've used them 3 times now). Stuteville worked around the patio cover install and communicated directly with WGYC throughout the process in order to coordinate efforts. What really sets Stuteville apart is their proficiency in all things landscaping and the tremendous amount of pride they take in their work. They can do it all, soup to nuts. The pride in their work is held by the whole team and all of the staff. There were many times when we could have taken a different approach. Eric and his team presented options, as well as the pros and cons of each option. Personally, that's what I want in a contractor . . . their expertise and their skill. Otherwise, I would do it myself. At the end of the day, everything was completed with very high quality and a terrific appearance. Suffice to say, I won't consider hiring any other landscaper for future projects. If I were you, I would do the same and end your search at Stuteville. read more

I would 100% recommend Stuteville Landscaping to anyone looking for making improvements to their home. Our home had a raised bed planter that was built with retaining wall blocks, compacted soil, and a built-in water spigot. We have other plans for this area and needed it cleared out ASAP. From the first interaction, Mike was friendly, fair, professional, and responsive. We were under a tight timeline due to an upcoming birthday party. Not only did the Stuteville crew get the work done before we needed it, Mike even offered to provide a present for my wife's birthday. While they were in the neighborhood, Stuteville also helped out a neighbor who had just moved in by taking out their trash since they were already headed to the dump with our work. Mike also gave us notice when he saw some seedy folks in the neighborhood. If other needs at our home come up, we will definitely give Stuteville Landscaping a call. read more

WOW! Mike and Eric just completed my total backyard landscape job and I am in awe of their professionalism, communication and work! We purchased a new build and the backyard was a blank slate of flat dirt. I reached out to Stuteville after seeing the positive reviews online, but also reached out to about 8 others. Some never called me back, some texted me a generic no info quote, some made appts. and never showed. From the beginning Mike was great with communication and answered all of my questions. They stood way above the rest and choosing them was a no brainer. I honestly could not be happier! I have worked in construction for over 11 years and these guys know what they are doing and most importantly they truly care about their employees and their clientele.
