Totally flaked out on their appointment with me. I scheduled an appointment for a fence replacement and major backyard planter box renovation. No call, no show. No follow up call.
Im not the least bit interested in doing business with them. I dont know what their problem is.

In a recent wind storm a large section of my fence came down. The neighbor sharing the fence was preparing to list their home for sale, so we needed a new fence - and fast. From estimate to completion the team was responsive, kind, professional and communicated. The crew kept the space clean and worked quietly. I am blown away by how simple they made a stressful situation for us. The fence is absolutely gorgeous!!

Report
We live on a hill in very rainy Scotts Valley and had three redwood retaining walls that were failing. David Stevenson and his crew replaced all three -- two with concrete blocks, one with wood -- for a reasonable price. They also updated our sprinkler system. They were very efficient, highly professional and always gave us notice of days and times they would be working (and actually did work those days and times). We will use them for future projects and have already recommended them to friends in Ben Lomond.

I have had Stevenson landscaping take care of my yard for several years and I couldn't be happier with them. The service is excellent and the attention to detail is very good. Our yard is very big and has a lot of different plants that need tending to. The employees are thoughtful , friendly , and know what they are doing . I love this company!! Can't say enough good things about them!! You won't be sorry!
