Stefano's Landscaping is a Saugus outfit that handles both the everyday work — mowing, fertilizing, spring clean-ups — and the big stuff: in-ground pools, hardscaped patios, irrigation systems, retaining walls, for homeowners and commercial properties across the North Shore. Across 40 reviews dating back to 2021, the same handful of names keep coming up: Clayton Fiore on ongoing maintenance contracts, Jesse Shrewsberry and Justin on design-and-build projects, Jeff on larger installs. The specifics back it up. A recent review describes a 10-zone irrigation system and new garden beds finished efficiently; a January 2026 review credited the crew with showing up daily until an in-ground fiberglass pool project in Andover was done, and said Stefano's beat competing quotes on a separate patio and fire pit build. Recurring commercial clients — a condo association, an office park — describe fast callbacks from Clayton and consistent seasonal service over multiple years. A few specific complaints stand out in an otherwise five-star record. A 2024 review described a company truck cutting off traffic dangerously near Route 1. A 2021 review said the company discontinued a contract mid-service despite being paid in full. And a 2023 review described a dispute over a branch left behind after a mowing visit and frustration with how the office responded to it. Worth asking directly about current crew assignment and scheduling for a project of your scope, since much of the praise centers on specific point people rather than the company as a whole.
I recently (April 2026) hired Stefanos to do a 10 zone irrigation system, create new beds, re-edge old beds plant a new arborvitae/remove 2 dead ones. The work was done efficiently and they did an amazing job overall. I want to especially recognize Jesse Shrewsberry, the project manager. He has gone above and beyond from the beginning of the job to current day. If I have any questions or issues with the irrigation system he is there in a split second to help me anyway he can with a smile. Jesse is the reason I would continue to work with Stefanos on future projects. He was truly the star of the operation and helped to manage every detail in order to provide a superb outcome on my project. Stefanos 10/10. Jesse 1000/10. I am very grateful for the professionalism and the commitment to provide the best customer service possible. Thank you Stefanos and especially Jesse for all you did! I look forward to working with you again on the next project!
Great time speaking with Michael at the small business expo!
Jeremy and the crew did a great job installing a fence and leveling our patio. Will definitely call them again when needed. They also do a great job with weekly mowing.
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.
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!
