Reviews of local pros in Saugus, Massachusetts

I could not be more pleased with the work this company has done. The project encompassed hard-scaping of an in-ground pool, a rock wall and landscaping of the surrounding areas. Every employee, from the lead contact Jeff to the guys on-site were professional, respectful of my property and myself, and met all expected timelines with complete communication throughout the process. All of their work is incredibly well done, although my favorite aspect is this beautiful and well crafted rock wall - everyone who visits comments on it. Jeff made the entire process from start to finish seamless, easy (especially for a layperson like myself) and responded quickly and answered any questions I may have had. I can't praise this company enough for the great employees they hire and the impressive job they completed. Would highly recommend and will most definitely be using for future projects.

We recently had our driveway expanded and all our retaining walls rebuilt with stone as well as a bluestone walkway installed and granite steps. Stefano’s did a fantastic job from estimating the cost, demolition and construction. Everyone we dealt with was fantastic and very patient with questions. Our neighbors commented many times how polite everyone was that was working on our project. We would use them again without hesitation!

Fantastic experience all the way around. Put down sod on front lawn, planted five Holly bushes and mulch. It was a pleasure doing business with Stefano's. Great job and I truly appreciate the fine work.

We have enjoyed working with Clayton Fiore and Mike Palladino for the work they have done for us over these many years, performing our necessary landscaping and snow/ice projects. There is nothing they won't do, to keep our property in great shape.

Stefano’s Landscaping and Jeff Dyer were great to work with. We had installed a backyard basketball court and we hired Stefano’s to clean up our lawn after the installation. They installed sod as well as seed, giving the best options for appearance while also keeping costs in mind. They were also thoughtful in putting rocks around the court and draining. Jeff was very communicative from start to finish, and made a couple suggestions he noticed in our yard that we will probably address with them in the spring. I appreciated the informational nature vs. hard sell. Our lawn looks completely back to normal, in fact better in many ways than it was before the court installation. I would highly recommend Stefano’s Landscaping!

We are on our second year with Stefano's and couldn't be happier! Their crew does a great clean-up job, both in the spring and the fall, and their fertilizing program has our lawn looking the best it has in 20 years!!!

They work at a condominium property I manage in Beverly for both plowing and landscaping. I am very happy with their work as is the Board of Trustees. I also find when I reach out to Clayton, he gets right back to me. The whole team is very responsive. They were there early this spring already performing spring clean-up in March!

Stefano’s landscaping with work through Clayton has been outstanding. Our contract is followed through on each year and our property is managed professionally. We receive timely quotes when we ask for additional projects and Clayton has always been available for consultation when needed.

We were looking to have some minor grading done to our yard. We requested a quote through their website and Jim was prompt in following up to come onsite to provide a quote. I was unable to be at home during the the quote so my wife showed him the area and described the work being requested. Normally she’s uncomfortable in these situations but Jim was very pleasant and listened to what she had to say, so high approval marks there.

The quote came in within a few hours and was detailed in the work to be done and the price was very reasonable.

I would recommend considering Stefanos for your landscaping needs.

We've been very happy with the service from Stefano's Landscaping at Russel Hill Office Facility. The team is reliable, professional, and keeps our property looking well-maintained through the season. Their attention to detail and responsiveness set them apart. Highly recommended!

Jeff and the team did a great job with our landscaping needs. Highly responsive and accountable. We look forward to working with them in the future.

Couldn’t be happier with the work this landscaping team has done for us! From the first consultation to the final touches, they were professional, attentive, and incredibly skilled. They completely transformed our outdoor space into something we truly love. What really stood out was their attention to detail and commitment to quality — it’s clear they take great pride in their work. Clayton and his crew were friendly, reliable, and always went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for dependable service and stunning results!

We have had Stefano's At our facility for over 2 years and have not had any problems with their services. They take care of our landscaping and snow removal. They are a very professional company along with the fast response from Clayton on anything we need.

My wife and I built a new home and Stefanos did an excellent job with our landscape. They are professional, caring and terrific to work with. Clayton Fiore was patient and worked with us to achieve the landscape looked we were seeking. We highly recommend Stefanos!

Stefano's Landscaping and Jesse Shrewsberry are amazing! From Jesse spending time making sure I got a design I was happy with, to his incredible crew busting the project out in just 3 days, I was truly impressed. Not only is the work fantastic, it was very affordable. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

Stefano's Landscaping did a fantastic job on all the projects we had them do this summer. They repaired some walkway pavers, built a cobblestone line along the flowerbeds, and installed a really nice patio in the backyard that we can use for basketball and many other activities. The work was high quality, done on time, and always had professional level of completion. They needed to repair some of the irrigation and lawn because of the work done and they left both better than the original. I worked with James as the point of contact and he was always responsive, provided great suggestions, and provided great pricing. I highly recommend Stefano's for any project you are considering, large or small.

We recently had Stefano’s Landscaping install a beautiful in-ground fiberglass pool at our home in Andover, MA, and we could not be happier with the experience or the final result. From day one, their team showed up consistently and worked hard every single day until the project was complete. They have a large, extremely experienced crew, and the level of care and attention to detail was outstanding throughout the entire process.

What truly sets Stefano’s apart is that they handle almost everything in-house—and they do it exceptionally well. Their fencing work was better than dedicated fence companies we’ve used in the past. Their team is just as knowledgeable about pool construction as they are about hardscape and landscaping. It’s a true one-stop shop, and you can tell they are deeply loyal to their brand and genuinely committed to their customers. Everyone we interacted with was professional, skilled, and a pleasure to work with.

The owner, Greg, and his team genuinely care about the outcome. There are no shortcuts—they do things the right way. Greg personally stepped in at key moments to oversee important aspects of the job and used his experience to guide us on decisions like equipment placement. The final result ended up being significantly better than the original plot plan we shared, and even the inspectors commented on the quality of the work during the final walkthrough.

One of the biggest reasons this project was so successful was having a true project manager from day one. Our PM, Jesse, was also our salesperson, so he was involved from the very beginning—through proposal revisions, competitor comparisons, and countless adjustments. Once we signed, Jesse seamlessly transitioned into full PM mode and managed the entire process end-to-end. The continuity, professionalism, and expertise he brought made the project essentially stress-free. Despite having a large crew, roles and responsibilities were clearly defined, and everything ran smoothly. It’s clear they know exactly how to execute large-scale pool and landscape projects.

Our lot was sloped and challenging, but they expertly leveled it and completely transformed our backyard. The fiberglass pool is gorgeous, paired with an incredible patio and decking area at a very competitive price. They perfectly matched our existing granite, added beautiful retaining ledges, and planted arborvitae for privacy—turning the space into a true private oasis.

The crew was exceptionally professional and thoughtful. The site was left spotless every single day—our neighbors even commented on how clean everything stayed and how friendly and courteous the team was. They handled nearly everything themselves, including all pool plumbing and equipment. Electrical was the only separate trade, and that coordination was seamless. We truly didn’t have to worry about anything—no loose ends, no surprises, nothing left for us to fix as homeowners.

We even added an outdoor shower as a last-minute request, and Greg personally helped us find a smart, cost-effective solution without any hassle. But what impressed us most was that, at the very end of the project, the team spent several extra days perfecting the paver install over the automatic pool cover. Instead of using the standard exposed metal access panel, they created a completely seamless, custom solution that looks like it was designed that way from the start. We didn’t even ask—they just went above and beyond because they cared about the final result.

Stefano’s didn’t just install a pool—they created a backyard retreat that exceeded our expectations in every way. If you’re considering a pool or major landscaping project in Massachusetts, we give them our highest recommendation. Extremely happy customers—thank you to the entire Stefano’s team!

Could not give 10 stars since google limits it to 5 but they deserve it. From the moment they stepped foot on our property we knew they were the right company for our project. Stefano's is an all in one company, alleviating the need to line up numerous contractors that is usually required with a backyard pool project. Start to finish any aspect of design, installation, and follow up was tremendous. The finished product exceeded any of our expectations and created an outdoor space we can be proud to call our own.

Stefano's Landscaping did an amazing job. Design and execution, all top notch. Professional and speedy, the crew went the extra mile to make sure every aspect was done to our liking.

We used Stefano's to put in a new patio for us last year and a new fire pit. They did a great job. The work was done quickly and the quality of the install was very good. We priced out this work with a few other contractors as well and Stefano's gave us the best price. We would definitely work with them again.

I used Novak Landscaping for sod installation and spring cleanout, they were accommodating, priced fairly and very professional.
