Six weeks of work every single day, with lots of noise, diggers and trucks: that is how a recent customer of Stephens Landscaping Professionals described the job, and they said they were very pleased with the results. The company says it has been in business 19 years, and its website lists design, landscape construction, sitework, carpentry, dock and marine work, landscape maintenance, irrigation, lighting and audio, and snow and ice management. A recent customer had a backyard stone patio installed and said Brandon, the PM, was very responsive. That customer also noted a small unexpected delay in the timeline, and said the work was otherwise completed on time. For a mountain house back yard, a recent customer said the Stephens team removed a rarely used deck and re-graded the land for a large stone patio with pathways and stairs, a fire boulder and an area for a recessed hot tub, with pathway lighting throughout. A 2024 customer said the work at their Moultonborough home included an approximately 800 square foot patio for enjoying the lakefront, two lower patio spaces, New England field stone retaining walls framing the patio and staircases, planted beds and landscape lighting. That 2024 customer said the work began in the fall and the patios and sod lawn were completed in the spring. A 2023 customer said John Stephens gave several options for a sloping beach that was eroding into the lake, and the project ended with a perched beach with stone retaining walls and stairs and a system of pipes and drywells to manage water around the house and beach. A 2022 customer said the company built a front porch, a landscaped front walkway with granite stone work and new flower beds, on time and on budget. In 2020, a Houzz customer said a team led by Hunter Secord planned and executed a heated driveway. A 2017 customer on Houzz said the company designed and installed a perched beach and patio for a lakefront home, handled the permitting, left the site clean and charged a reasonable price. The company holds 5 stars from 59 Google ratings and 4.8 stars from 40 ratings on Houzz. A 2015 customer gave three stars for a fall cleanup of leaves 6 to 10 inches deep over two lots, and said they did a good job.

Every SLP person we dealt with from start to finish listened to questions and reassured any concerns. So much hard work was done every single day over 6 weeks by talented, polite workers. There was lots of noise and so many diggers and trucks. The outcome is so excellent. We are very pleased with the results. Highly recommend
Had a backyard stone patio installed. Brandon the PM was excellent and very responsive. Had a small unexpected delay in the time line but other than that the work was completed on time. The workman ship was outstanding and small unexpected design touches were appreciated and made the final project better than we anticipated
The Stephen’s team did a complete redesign of my mountain house back yard area. Previously there was just a deck that was rarely used. They removed the deck and re-graded the land to add a large stone patio with pathways and stairs for access, a fire boulder and an area for a recessed hot tub. Also pathway lighting throughout the area. The entire area was landscaped with a variety of plants and shrubs. All of the Stephen’s teams were terrific to work with and did an amazing job every step of the way. The transformation is unbelievable and we are grateful to John Stephen’s and the Stephen’s teams for exceeding our expectations!
