## The honest read

Stevens & Son Lawn Maintenance is a locally owned and operated Auburn company that says it has served the area for over 50 years. BBB identifies it as a sole proprietorship with Mark E. Stevens Sr. and Mark E. Stevens Jr. listed as co-owners, and gives the business an A+ grade while noting it is not BBB accredited.

The service record centers on lawn maintenance and landscaping, with the company’s site also describing irrigation repair, tree pruning, fertilization, weed and insect control, planting, mulch, aeration, walkways, patios, landscape design, retaining walls, outdoor lighting, and commercial snow work. HomeAdvisor lists a 4.1 rating from 14 reviews; older customers praised spring cleanup, mowing, aeration, responsiveness, on-time completion, and competitive pricing.

The dated record is mixed. Older HomeAdvisor reviews mention a late start and finish, unfamiliarity with one job, and a mismatch between work and price, while another reviewer said the company responded to a mistaken identity claim. Confirm the current scope, schedule, estimate, and trade credentials before booking; the available sources do not establish an occupational license or insurance claim.

**Strengths:**
- Lawn care — long-standing maintenance and landscaping focus
- Competitive pricing — older review compares favorably with other bids
- Responsive service — reviewer praised attention to scheduling needs
- On-time completion — multiple older reviews cite timely work

**Concerns:**
- Older delays — one review reports late start and finish
- Scope fit — one customer cited unfamiliarity with a job
- Price alignment — one review says work differed from quoted expectations

**Where sources disagree:**
- Google and HomeAdvisor publish different customer-rating averages and sample sizes.
- The accepted review record is largely older, with the newest HomeAdvisor review dated April 2019.
