## The honest read

Dirt and Stone Landscaping calls itself a full-service landscaping company based in Central Connecticut. Its website lists a service area that includes Newington, West Hartford, Wethersfield, Middletown and Simsbury. On Thumbtack it shows 4.8 stars from 78 ratings, and on Google 5 stars from 8.

A recent Google customer had just bought a home whose backyard had not been touched all season; Zach and Leigh cleared the leaves and debris, and that customer had them back for more yard work several times. A recent customer who called for a stump grinding quote said they were out within a few days and also removed some extra shrubs on request. A recent customer who has used the company for several years for shrub trimming, mulching and spring cleanup said they are transparent about pricing and show up when they say they will.

A 2025 customer said Zack and Leigh ground two stumps in the yard and were responsive and affordable. A 2025 Google reviewer wrote that the company had handled their lawn mowing for the past few years and that the pricing was very reasonable. In a 2021 review, a customer said the lawn looked 10 times better after it was thatched and reseeded. In a 2020 review, a customer said Zach and Leigh regraded the yard and the price was reasonable.

Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0665912, as active, held by Dirt and Stone Landscaping.

**Strengths:**
- A backyard cleanup — a recent customer said a season of leaves was cleared
- Quick stump visit — a recent customer said they came within a few days
- Clear pricing — a recent customer called them transparent about pricing
- A reseeded lawn — a 2021 customer said it looked 10 times better
