## The honest read

Twenty-eight Google ratings average 4.9 stars for Stopa Landscaping LLC, a landscaping company whose website names Fairfield, Westport and Darien as its service area. The company says it has been in business for 26 years. A modernluxury.com page lists Stopa Landscaping alongside Mark Finlay Architects.

A customer in their first season with Stopa calls its rates very fair. A 2025 customer said the company came out quickly to estimate a yard cleanup and did the job the same week. A 2025 customer wrote that Jeffrey, the owner, was quick to return calls, and that the yard work included removing old overgrown bushes, leveling the yard, planting and installing a fence. A 2025 customer said Jeff did a cleanup, mulched, leveled, seeded and added a few privacy trees for the back yard. A 2025 customer said that when a tree came down in a summer storm, Jeff got them help and pruned trees.

A 2023 customer said the company did a full landscape design for a front yard that had no landscaping, including a stone walkway from the front door to the driveway. That 2023 customer wrote that designer Jen Simko worked perennials and deer-resistant greens into the design, that quotes always matched the final invoice, and that they dug out an old koi pond full of sludge and debris. A 2023 customer said the company replaced a blue stone patio, building a new blue stone walkway, restoring some existing pieces and resetting the patio. A 2023 customer said the company redid a patio, including stone work on the steps, and that the work got done efficiently.

Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0579307, as active, held by Stopa's Landscaping.

**Strengths:**
- Landscape design — a 2023 customer described a full front-yard design and walkway
- Bluestone patio work — a 2023 customer described a reset patio and new walkway
- Invoice matched quote — a 2023 customer said quotes always matched final invoices
- A same-week cleanup — a 2025 customer said the job was done that week
