It was a disaster...dirty, messy, overgrown, rotted, and I was overwhelmed with the question "how do I get this place habitable?" We gave Robert a call and he was all over it! He quickly put together a proposal and worked with our budget to clean up & transform the space into something usable, private, and cozy in record time. We love hanging out in our little backyard oasis now, thanks to Robert + team!!

Although his plate was full, after hearing my sob story, he made time in his schedule to fit me in. Aside from aesthetics, my main needs were getting the back yard completely leveled, fully seeded, a dog area, and the drainage relocated. He knocked them all out of the park. Dave and his team were extremely professional. They came and worked like gangbusters for 4 days straight. Always on time and working all day. I was never wondering if and when they were going to show up like you do with other contractors. It was not cheap, but like most things in life, you get what you pay for. Zero aggravation and no excuses are priceless. He knew I was on a budget and did try to cut costs where he could. He expertly relocated some flowers and shrubs that made sense, which did help save some. Being the end of the season, he also utilized some left over plants/shrubs/flowers that he already had to use in my project. In the end, Dave came in and saved the day. He knocked out my project in 4 days with a full crew. There were no excuses or delays. The whole team was super professional. His knowledge of his craft was applied to my back yard and specific needs. They were all met and executed. As I did this project last fall, I have just recently reaped the benefits of his hard work this spring/summer and having seen most of everything in full bloom. I am very happy. Look no further. This is your guy if you want great communication, excellent execution and zero agita in your landscaping needs.

Our new house had been abandoned for 15 years before we purchased it - just piles of dirt everywhere. David helped make our house a home (and tons of compliments from our new neighbors). His team came in quickly and efficiently and did an amazing job with the front and side lawn of our house. David designed a beautiful landscape that highlighted the architecture of the house, and complimented the curves of the sidewalk. I had no idea what to expect and I was so happy with the results. He is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He also left us with instructions to keep our new habitat healthy and growing. He has been available for any and all follow up questions.We will definitely be using his team to get our new garden winter ready as well.

He did an excellent job in adding a retaining wall in the yard, and installing a 21X17 patio. All work was done by Joe and if he wasn't available his family- Brother and Father would be there to supervise. He has a large team and they are all organized and supervised perfectly. He is always available to answer his phone or answer any questions. He takes the time to go through the process, I went through over 10 different contractors and he is definitely not like anyone else. He is true to his word and doesnt make mistakes. He does not cut corners either. If your looking for a great landscaper and mason, you wont be disatisfied with Spano and Sons.

I vetted their price and it was in line with other quotes I received. I ended up hiring them over other urban landscape design companies because I really felt I could trust Dennis and his quality of work. I was not disappointed. All of the work they did for me was excellent and was done in a timely manner. I did not have to stay on top of them or pressure them at all. They did the job I hired them for with no frustration. Their work was top notch and they were very amenable to any changes that needed to be made. I would highly recommend them.

Everyone was super friendly, responsive, and professional. My husband described the crew as working as if they were working on their own yard because they were taking such care. We will be using this service now on an ongoing basis, for weekly mowing, seasonal clean-up, pruning, etc., and for whatever else comes up! We live on a decent size lot, an acre, and the yard and beds, shrubs, etc., had not been maintained for a long time, prior owner made some bad selections, etc. So, this was a big job. Removed 10 ENORMOUS shrubs, installed dozens of new plants/trees, huge spring clean up, installed 21 cubic yards of mulch, weed preventative, created overall landscape design, relocated some existing shrubs, used existing field stones to create perimeter for beds. Plus, willing to go extra mile to do extras that I did not expect, like removing tree limbs that needed removal either because of pre-existing damage or for health of tree. Update: the original review was written about 18 months ago. We continue to use Princeton Lawn and Landscapes for all our lawn and landscape needs. We continue to be very happy and highly recommend them to everyone! Tom continues to go above and beyond to make sure we are happy with any of the work his team does for us.
