In 2025, a reviewer wrote that the driver of a company vehicle was yelling and rude over a one-minute wait on a road. In 2022, a customer wrote that they had been working with Sterling for several years and were pleased with the service and the people there. The company holds 3.3 stars from 21 Google ratings and an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau, where it is accredited.
Burnt grass from over fertilizing, weeds kept remaining, mosquito and ticks persisted and terrible customer service. Don't waste your money!!
Driver of one of the company vehicles was yelling and extremely rude when they were inconvenienced with a 1 minute long wait on a road during a delivery. I was completely unimpressed and would hope someone driving a company vehicle would understand that they are representing the whole company when they act like this.
Damaged my property and said right away they would fix it, never did, never replied to calls or emails asking when they planned to fix the lawn but sure want their payment.
Been working with Sterling for several years , very pleased with the service and the folks working at Sterling
