Helstowski Tree and Landscaping describes itself on Houzz as a full landscape and hardscape contractor for residential and commercial projects throughout Western Mass. A 2020 customer who wanted a large front yard with no grass, done in stones, rocks and boulders to mimic a lodge, said the owner Justyn assigned landscaper Luke, and later Bree, to create a lodge-like appearance. That 2020 customer said the workers created three mounds on which trees and bushes were placed, a fountain flowing over natural rock and a gravel walkway from the street to the house. A 2020 Houzz reviewer said the company did a hardscaping project on their patio and was on time and within budget. A 2021 customer said Justyn and his crew removed invasive vines and some stubborn roots at their home. A 2021 customer said Brie and her team removed tree limbs, leaves and last fall's mums, and that she blew the remaining debris before leaving. A 2021 reviewer said they trimmed the hedge around the pool and cleaned up everything. A 2020 reviewer had a 120-foot row of hedges removed and called it reasonably priced. A 2019 customer said a tree that endangered the driveway was removed the next day by a team of two who cleaned up very well. A 2023 customer said they paid $800 for work that included removing a dead juniper and putting in edging, that he spent 45 minutes cutting some weeds and putting down wood chips, left the juniper and the edging undone, and then did not respond to calls, texts and emails. A 2021 customer said they came to mow without giving a quote or scheduling a service, hit the propane tanks while mowing without letting the customer know, and that more than a month after being told, no one had come to fix it. A 2020 customer said nobody showed or called for an estimate visit set for 3pm. A 2019 reviewer said he hired a good subcontractor to remove a tree but that they could never get him to send a written estimate.
