Stellio’s Gardening Service

I am writing this ad based on my experience with a common client. I know how hard it is to get good review and how it is to run a successful small business. I understand that gardeners can run late. If I could fire this former client as well, I would. Stellio I have never met you but I applaud your actions.

Stellios is a great guy. On our free estimate date, he spent the time to evaluate the back and front yard, the sprinkles and tell us exactly what he would do for us. Great so far, we hired him. We made an appointment for him to come on a friday at 11am. He showed up at 2pm, started working. Our 2year old son takes a nap during this time, so I was not happy about him using power saws under his bedroom. I asked if he can come next time at 11am, or on a differnt day when our son is in preschool and he chose to keep Fridays at 11am. The following friday he did not come until 12, so I left a message that we should reschedule, since the baby was going to sleep. Within minutes, he called back and left a message that we should find another gardner. I suggest you find another gardner too. I can’t spek of the quality of his work, since he came only once, this is why I could not give him two stars.

I found an ad for Stellio’s Gardening Service that was posted TODAY on Craigslist and decided to call and give their service a shot. When I called to request a quote for some catch-​up yardwork in my front yard, the guy said he was «too busy» to do the work. Really? I asked him about the newly posted advertisement on CL and he said «my kids do that for me.» He continued by saying «I can give you a quote but can’t do the work for several weeks.»
Here is just another example of how the service industry has gone to shit. Why post an ad? Why even take calls? I would of preferred to leave a message and never get a call back instead of wasting 3 minutes of my life on the phone with this joker.
What I didn’t tell this guy is that I have a large backyard landscaping project that this small project is just a test for. Oh well, people in the service industry should think about what that word really means.

Stellios did a great job with a completely new landscape in our front yard. He installed 1200 square feet of new sod and all new irrigation system, as well as many new plants and a new parking strip. He and his crew worked efficiently and we were extremely pleased with the quality. Highly recommend Stellios the Greek!

My husband and I hired Stellios to remake the backyard of our house into a place that is safe for our toddler. He did a great job for us and we are very happy with the results.
