Bluestone patios, walkways and planting beds are the jobs John Spector Landscape Design is hired for, and firewood goes out the door too. A 2022 customer said John relocated a 100 foot driveway with drainage and built a 22' x 22' Pennsylvania blue stone patio, and that both jobs were completed on time and as quoted. A 2022 customer said John completely rebuilt an old bluestone patio that suffered from water drainage issues, redesigning it to solve the drainage problems, and was on site directing his crew. A 2022 customer said John Spector completed a walkway, front landing and 8 stairs in blue stone. A 2022 customer described two projects that involved clearing land and trees, planting new evergreens, reseeding and mulching, plus a paved walkway and stone steps. A 2022 customer said John and his crew installed a civic improvement project at Tilley Pond Park for their Garden Club and gave care instructions. On the planting side, a 2024 customer said John and Cheryl's team demolished an unattractive backyard, chose and placed the plants, mulched the yard and added a trellis to the patio, with John supervising the project on a daily basis. A 2023 customer who hired him for mulching and tree installation said Cheryl laid out where the trees would go. A 2024 customer said they had ordered wood every year since first having 2 cords delivered in 2015, and that the wood was stacked for them. A 2022 customer said John sold them 3.5 cords of unseasoned red oak, checked with a moisture meter, that they could not burn until the next winter. A 2021 Google reviewer wrote, "This guy is simply dishonest." On Google the business holds 4.7 stars from 52 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau grades it A+. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0601929, held by John Spector Landscape Design, as expired.
Very professional, outstanding work with more than fair pricing. I don’t usually do reviews, but I was so happy with the work provided I felt I needed to. Would highly recommend and use his services again.
Great firewood have ordered for many years
I first contacted John to have 2 cords of wood delivered in 2015 and have been using this family owned business every year since . They are so easy to work with , extremely responsive and get me scheduled for wood delivery either the next day or within a few days . The delivery is always perfect and the crew is very friendly. They even stack the wood for me. The wood is dry, clean and burns so well. 10/10 would recommend this family owned business
I have nothing but good things to say about John spector landscape design . When John and Cheryl first came to my house, and saw my unfinished landscaping, he had a clear and beautiful vision of what it could become. From day one, his team demolished the unattractive backyard and turned it into a beautiful oasis . His tasks involved choosing the plants, placing them where there is appropriate light/ sun and the mulching of the yard as well . John envisioned the plain patio in the backyard with a trellis, to give privacy and create more useful space. This truly enhanced the look and functionality of our backyard. John supervised the project on a daily basis. He was polite and made the job a fun experience. I would recommend John and Cheryl to anyone who has a need for landscape work, whether small or large. They completed everything that they promised, and surpassed my expectations.
great firewood I order from john and Cheryl every year !!! highly recommend
