Stillman Landscape describes itself on Houzz as a landscape design and installation specialist. It lists itself as a Unilock Authorized Contractor and says it received the Award of Excellence from Unilock three years in a row, 2013–2015. In a 2021 review, a customer said Stillman built a large patio and fireplace behind their new-construction house and a walkway to the front porch, working from a 3D design, and that the project had many challenges and stalls but Stillman adjusted the entire way. In a 2015 review, a customer said Stillman Landscape designed and installed their new stone patio, the work was done on schedule and as quoted, change orders were billed fairly, and James was on-site every day working side-by-side with his crew. In another 2015 review, a customer said Stillman installed pavers in their backyard patio, that James Stillman did the work with the help of only one partner, and that the pricing was very reasonable compared with 3 others they looked at. In a 2015 review, a customer said Jaime suggested a stream with water rushing over irregular rocks instead of a waterfall to drown out the noise of an HVAC system next door, and added plants and fish. In a 2014 review, a customer said James came up with a plan for a water stream in their backyard, the project grew to an enlarged patio and a long sidewalk beside the stream, and it still finished on time. In a 2014 review, a customer said James Stillman put in a stone patio and a waterfall that operates on remote control where an above ground pool used to be. In a 2014 review, a customer said Stillman replaced their asphalt walkways with a paved walkway and finished in less than a week. In a 2014 review, a customer said James Stillman personally came back to replace a planting that didn't take. In 2012, the Telegram reported that Stillman Landscaping of Sterling added a little pond and some plants outside the windows of a greenhouse.

I contracted Stillman to build a large patio and fire place in the back of my house and a walkway for my front porch on my new construction. Right from the start Stillman exceeded other contractors by his vision and 3d design. Having the design was key for me to see the final layout which made a huge difference in knowing what you will get for your investment. Our project had many challenges and stalls but Stillman adjusted the entire way and his guys were hardworking, polite young men who did a great job. James was a pleasure to work with and I would gladly work with his team again. I must say, I LOVE our patio and fireplace! I get compliments on my walkway all the time. Staying at home has never been so nice
It is rare when the quality of the work you hope for exceeds your expectations. We hired Stillman Landscaping to create a vista on the north part of our property. We had initially thought we needed a waterfall to drown out the noise of the HVAC system next door. Jaime convinced us that a stream with water rushing over irregular rocks would be a better solution and he was right! Not only is this area lovely to look at but it does drown out the annoying noise from the building next door. Jaime was great to work with and added little extras, like plants and fish and those were lovely surprises. I highly recommend this company.
We hired Stillman Landscape to install pavers in our backyard patio. James Stillman was very professional from start to finish. Everything on the contract was explained and delivered, not only in a timely manner, but, the work was exceptional! We were very happy with his attention to detail, and have had visitors compliment James' work of art! He did all the work with the help of only one partner. On top of that, his pricing was very reasonable (compared to 3 others we looked at). I am confident that you will be pleased with hiring Stillman Landscape.
Stillman Landscape designed and installed our new stone patio in the spring of 2015. In designing the backyard areas, James paid attention to our ideas and requirements. He patiently worked with us to be certain that we were happy with all of the details. The creative design and scale of the patio plan is a perfect complement to our home and is ideally suited to our needs. Other contractors had quoted the project but attempted to over-sell us on larger, more elaborate plans and were unwilling to commit to a specific price. The work was done on schedule and as quoted. Change orders were billed fairly and did not impact the finish date. James was on-site every day leading the project and working side-by-side with his crew. He communicated regularly with us, answering questions and keeping us updated with the progress. The selection of materials, quality of the work and attention to detail are extraordinary. We are very pleased with all aspects of our experience with Stillman Landscape and would highly recommend them.
Stillman Landscaping is one of the best landscaping companies we have hired. They are punctual, courteous, and the quality of their work is top notch! We have hired them for many landscaping and home improvement projects because they are easy to work with and have great vision for each job. They are able to work within our budget and they guarantee their work. For example, we had a planting that didn't seem to take and James Stillman personally came back to replace it and follow up with us to make sure it was growing. One of the things I like best about this company is the communication with their clients. We are able to reach James or Joanne by email and they always get back to us in a timely manner. I highly recommend Stillman Landscaping for your next outdoor project!
