I used Shannon landscaping for a few seasons and initially, everything went well. I mowed twice a week and Shannon Landscaping handled all of the fertilizer and weed prevention, etc. This year started off great but after my last lawn care application on the front lawn, the grass quickly started to yellow and die off. Shannon does not maintain my backyard at all and coincidentally, that grass is alive and well! I let Shannon Landscaping know that it looked like the last lawncare application burned my grass and it has been excuse after excuse since then. I mow too often, my blades are too dull, its too hot and humid when I mow, the mower deck isn't high enough....somehow those issues only impacted the front lawn that I pay Shannon $300 a year to maintain. The back that gets mowed at the same time and frequency as the front is still green and doing well. Luckily for me, I had a soil test done before I started using Shannon Landscaping so it was easy to get another soil test done and see what changed. Well the phosphourous levels in my front lawn have TRIPLED since Shannon landscaping started maintaining it. I mentioned this to the manager (Robin Del Valle) and she claims Shannon Landscaping doesn't use any products that contain phosphorous. I don't fertilize the front lawn that I already pay someone else to fertilize so I guess the Phosphorous levels magically tripled on their own. I'm okay with mistakes happening. I'm not okay with a company that won't own up to their mistakes. Stay far away from this business.
We were expecting Shannon quality but the service we got was above and beyond. The team , with Karen’s (hope I got the name right) walk through, was so meticulous in their attention to detail. We were amazed at their knowledge along with an understanding of our style. We are committed to the weekly service we have for this season but would consider expanding our relationship with Shannon in the future.
I saw a landscaping job you did in Milford. I had to stop by your garden center. I stopped by today. I’ve never seen so many healthy plants. The quality and selection is unbelievable. I wish I could buy all of your plants. It was worth the drive!
Friendly but mediocre... Despite what appear to be best efforts, I cannot say that Shannon can produce and guarantee results. I was underwhelmed last summer when the weed control program was limited in ridding my yard of weeds. When I brought this to the dispatcher's attention, on multiple occasions I was told that there are other extenuating circumstances like temperature and humidity that make their treatments less effective. Early this year, as I saw my yard rife with weeds and Shannon had already been out, I was told I need to be patient. Most recently, my yard has gotten grass fungus. When I inquired about treatment, I was sent a proposal with a "per visit" cost structure. I was told that one treatment may not be sufficient and not to "expect miracles". Asking the question multiple times in different ways, Shannon was great at talking around my question without providing an answer or being able to guarantee their work. It leaves me to wonder how much value are they actually adding if they cannot guarantee their work?
Shannon Landscaping does an amazing job! They’ve done my lawn care for 3 years now and my lawn has never looked better! Recently, I was injured and couldn’t do my fall leaf work. Shannon did such an amazing clean up that I may just use them every year and save my weekends! (The owners are wonderful people too!!)
The photo on the right, lush green turf, is my lawn in August 2022. On the left is my lawn September 2023. I have used Shannon for fertilizer, weed and pest control for the 2023 season. Need I say more? Addendum: Oct. 2023 - Under their warranty program, and at no expense to me, Shannon sent a consultant and performed the required lawn repair. My lawn is now much improved. I felt it was necessary to add this addendum to thank Shannon for their response and their prompt remediation. Two additional photos show the dramatic improvement.
Shannon Landscaping rescued our yard from certain death! Having moved into our new home in April, we knew that we needed a new lawn but didn’t know where to turn. Everyone we called just cut lawns, they didn’t install new ones. Then we remembered Shannon Landscaping from when we lived in Stratford. A few days later, Karen came out to evaluate our situation and recommended a full reinstall and grading to eliminate low spots that was causing water to pool, that was killing our grass. After they killed off the weeds that took over the yard, they set off to bring back our yard. The team did a spectacular job and the only heavy lifting that I had to do was watering the newly sown grass seed per their recommendation. I am proud to say that we have our yard back again and I highly recommend Shannon Landscaping!
Wonderful company from owners to managers to workers. Attention to detail. Polite, courteous and go out of their way to make their work a good experience.
They have beautiful perennials and annuals. As well as vegetables, trees, and garden supplies.
The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful! They helped me choose the correct products and loaded everything into my truck.
My go to for all my lawn services.
I have been a loyal customer for four years. Traditionally, every fall, I contact Shannon Lawn and Landscaping to schedule an irrigation pump-out, a process that has gone smoothly in the past. This year, I reached out on October 6th and spoke with a representative who assured me that I would receive the necessary paperwork via email to sign/pay immediately after our conversation so that I may be added to the schedule. Regrettably, the promised paperwork did not arrive. Consequently, I followed up on October 18th to inquire about the delay. I spoke with Robin, who explained that she was awaiting confirmation from a technician regarding their availability for servicing my irrigation system. She promised to provide an update by the end of the day but failed to do so. As a result, I had to contact them once more on October 19th to seek clarification. During this call, I was informed that I would be placed on a waiting list, and the soonest I could expect to hear if my service would be added to the schedule, would be some time in November. This was attributed to my failure to sign the automated renewal email in the spring, which included services I did not require. When I inquired about potential alternatives, I was advised to consider seeking assistance from another service provider, as Shannon Lawn and Landscaping would be unable to provide a definitive answer until sometime in November. It was also brought to my attention that this years policy had undergone changes, information that was apparently unknown to the representative I initially spoke with. Although Robin maintained a courteous demeanor during our interactions, her tone came across as somewhat condescending, and I felt like my concerns were not being taken seriously. I must express my disappointment with the level of customer service I have encountered, particularly considering my consistent patronage over the past four years.
I called multiple times trying to set up a consultation and spoke with someone in the office. They said their design team would call me back but never did. Would recommend.
I can t say enough about Shannon. They just completed our annual cleanup, pruning, weeding, mulching, etc. Phenomenal! Professional and talented crew. Our property looks amazing thanks to Shannon. Highly recommend them.
Very helpful in guiding us through selection. Professional and efficient planting! Highly recommend Shannon
Great variety of plants. Superior assistance!
Great experience with the crew at Shannon Lawn & Landscaping. Worked diligently and professionally to take care of a drainage and grading project for me. Took the time to explain each part of the project to me so I could understand the full scope of their work. Very satisfied with the results, and I look forward to working with them again in the future.
Wonderful family run business with pleasant efficient service. The people here have experience and knowledge. No rushing and will answer any questions providing accurate info . Really a pleasure to visit. Many services and products. A gem of a place. Love it!
My wife and I have used Shannon Landscaping for a few years now for their lawn maintenance fertilization program. I still enjoy doing the weekly cutting myself. This Spring, I wanted them to de-thatch the lawn and am impressed with the diligent, hard work done by your crew at my property! Thanks so much Shannon Landscaping!
Avoid this business at all costs. NEVER SHOWED UP for first appointment, BLEW OFF second appointment even after confirming over telephone. Very rude and unprofessional workers. Owner was very rude on the telephone. OVER-PRICED and BAD SERVICE expected anyways. Workers are late to the job, UNACCEPTABLE. DO NOT USE. FIND ANOTHER BUSINESS. RESPONSE: Responding to Michael, John, or Christine Shannon: So you are asking me to reschedule a third time after having me wait around 2 days and waste several hours of my time and then claim to not have the correct email or correct phone number. You obviously could have looked me up and called to get in touch instead of posting these passive aggressive review responses and not even apologizing for wasting my time 2 days in a row. Really NOT professional....
All of the flowers and shrubs looked very healthy
Shannon helped with the irrigation system in my backyard project last year and stood behind his work after completion. He has always been professional and a pleasure to work with and now he is coming through for me again on short notice to help with a leak on another system he did not install.
My wife and I went to Shannon for ideas to redo our front of house landscaping. We were met with a knowledgeable, professional staff. They completely understand the business and worked with us from plan to completion. I along with my wife would 100% recommended Shannon. Professional, on time, pricing, and overall ease made this a great experience. Mike Shannon, Johnathan and Paul are top notch. Thank you all.
I wish I could put 0 starts. The customer service is completely bad, and the website is wrong. They say they do fence Instalation but when I call I just got someone angry on the phone, then she hang up. Call again and same issue. If you put something on your website regarding a work you do. Make sure you do it. If not take it off so customers dont waste time here
Absolutely the best. Everyone says I have the best lawn on the block!
Shannon Lawn & Landscaping did a complete makeover giving my house the curb appeal it needed. Donna designed the low-maintenance plantings with the understanding that I am not a very good gardener. John installed a beautiful new walkway. The project finished with removing a tangled dying mess of trees on my property along the road. Shannon Lawn & Landscaping was responsive from the time of my first inquiry to the day the project was completed. The crew arrived promptly when they said they would, and they were kind and professional. I will remain a loyal customer.
Have used Shannon Lawn & Landscaping for regular lawn services and special projects for the past several years. They are great to collaborate with on projects, give notice before arriving, give details of work to be performed, give confirmation when work is completed, and their work is always excellently performed and very neat. Very reasonable rates. Like their garden center too.
Helpful, local, cheaper than HD.
Shannon is a pleasure to work with and never fails to deliver on what they promise. They have transformed and maintained our half-acre property for the 7 years weve lived here and have been doing business with them. Their customer service is stellar and professional, and their crews work hard and quickly, without cutting corners. Shannon is the first place I turn for all my lawn and landscaping needs.
After one application my lawn looks amazing! Weeds are noticeably decreasing and grass is growing in. Jason was unbelievably kind and very professional. Highly recommend them!
We began working with Shannon in the spring of 2019 with hopes of fixing some problems caused by another company. Shannon not only improved the situation, they changed the entire landscape of our property. Neighbors openly admire our lawn, which has never happened before. I can wholeheartedly recommend Shannon for timeliness, professionalism, and overall outstanding work. These guys are the real deal, total professionalism.
My family and I cant say enough about the Shannon Family and their company. Our lawn has never looked better.
Shannon Lawn & Landscaping made our lawn look better than ever. For the first time our lawn looked healthy. They did a great job of keeping us informed as to when they were going to put down an application. Have a nice holiday & we will see you again next year!
We recently had Shannon Lawn & Landscaping out for a second job on our property. They cleaned away overgrown bushes and trees in our back yard. We were so impressed with how much space we gained by the removal of all the brush. I originally thought we should save some of the forsythia, but they were right. It looks so much better with a cleared area. We gained several feet of backyard space once the grass grew in. You can tell they are perfectionists with their work. We had a few patches in the front yard missing grass due to sewer line work and tree removal. The crew threw some fresh soil and seed on the areas at no charge!
Excellent service, excellent results.
Great service, prompt, and did a fantastic job of my yard for fall clean up. The employees were friendly and helpful.Thanks !
Strongly recommend avoiding this company. We required a new landscaper and so naturally we went to Google and this company came across our search. What seemingly a professional organization at the service, they are anything but. The first issue is when. We signed their contracts to mulch our yard - 3 weeks later there was no sign of them after commitments were made to be there in about a week. They did not bring enough mulch to complete the job and required a second visit. During the second visit my wife and I left, when we arrived back home our back window was broken - in precisely the same spot where they had been mulching. I emailed them to make them aware in a non-confrontational way. Shortly after I received a call in a most defensive, arrogant way that shocked me assuring me that the owner told me there was no possible way it was them, also lying and ensuring me he was here observing when he was not. If they had broken my window, no worries, I understand things happen. But their defensiveness, arrogance, and lack for any customer empathy is despicable and they should not be in a service business. Also, if I were considering doing business with this firm I would verify if any of these Google reviews are authentic.
Love my yard. Thank you!
Our yard and brook were just completed yesterday. Our project began a couple of months ago with an acre of weeds, overgrown vines, poison ivy and general disarray. (The yard was a huge project for us since we relocated from the west coast the end of last year.) Mike and John came recommended to us, and were so fortunate at what a blessing theyve been to us. Appointments and estimates were done promptly. Emails were even answered in the evenings when we had questions, long after theyd closed for the day. Every worker, be it sales or management or crew, was refreshing to work with. When large jobs such as ours take place, a sense of humor is almost necessary (which my husband and I have both found over the years). Our estimates were emailed and we were never pushed by Shannon to sign contracts and return them with a check. As a matter of fact, WE were very anxious to get started and work commenced when they said it would. As homeowners, we learned years ago that weather dictates schedules, availability of supplies that are needed, and priorities that might arise that arent under their control. For example, I had tickets for a Yankees game right in the middle of the week (and the job), and they adjusted their schedule around me and returned the day after. You wont find that very often! Mike and John (as well as the rest of the staff), are good listeners. Our project - recreating a 100-year old brook on our property, involved many pictures, nature ideas, measurements, boulder selection (that would be in the same color family as our existing stone wall), several workers, and open minds. After our brook was completed, I looked at it the next day and decided that perhaps a few boulders should be moved and some river rounds reduced. (Musical boulders isnt fun, believe me!) A crew came out again, including John, and tweaked rocks and boulders until it looked like a beautiful, natural, brook. Weve had so many people stop to see it that I think folks thought we were having an Open House to sell our home! The nicest compliment weve gotten was from a woman walking who thanked us for giving the neighborhood such a beautiful gift. If Google had an option for 10 stars, wed give them 11. Thanks again for restoring our property to its original beauty.
While we have been customers of Shannon Landscaping for only two years, the transformation of our property has been phenomenal. After struggling for years to beautify our lawn, Shannon has in only two years completely renovated our 1 1/2 acre lawn with their year-round fertilization/pest control program and a complete top-dressing and seeding, as well as installing an irrigation system which has made our lawn look spectacular. Living right on Main St in Stratford, we have had many compliments about how beautiful our home looks. Their service is prompt and professional, and they are quickly responsive to any concerns and questions weve had. Thanks, Shannon Landscaping- Im looking to forward to next season and other projects that we are confident you will provide expertly. Nick Bertini, MD
Shannon Landscaping did an outstanding job of planting a series of bushes and one evergreen tree, as well as removing several bushes. The preliminary discussion and advice were very helpful and they worked with care and knew what they were doing.
Shannon Landscaping recently did a complete overhaul of my front yard (including masonry work on steps and walkway). They were extremely professional throughout the process, and ensured I was satisfied with the work every step of the way. I told them from the beginning that I didnt want my yard to look like every other yard in town, and I wanted low maintenance easy to care for plantings as I dont have a green thumb. I receive compliments on it daily and couldnt be happier with the outcome. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping/masonry work, their team is top notch (special shout out to Dylan who dealt with all my questions along the way, hes a gem!)!
Shannon always does a great job with the work to be done around my small place. I was away when they came to prune several weeks ago and certainly left no mess anywhere. It was several days after my return that I realized they had been here!
Great place to deal with. Very professional and they do great work
We have used Shannons Landscaping for several years now. They have always been professional, on time and reliable. Several times we have requested new plantings etc. and they have completed everything requested perfectly. We will continue to use Shannons going forward and would suggest if you are looking for a landscaper you look to them for your needs.
Reliable. Professional. Amazing quality. Incredible customer service. Highly recommend this team.
After doing a major home renovation and addition I set out to find a landscaper that would be attentive, reliable, reasonably priced that also would have a good vision for my property. This was no small task considering we have a 10,500 lot and it needed everything from lawn, plants, sprinklers, drip system and trees to a driveway, walkway and back patio. I was referred to Mike and John Shannon from a good friend and called him based on my friends experience and my personal proof is in the tasting inspection of my friends showcase property. Mike got back to me quickly and met with me within just a few days. He listened to my needs and gave me several options that hit different price points and design options. I chose what fit my needs and budget and Mike had a crew out to my house within days. I cannot say enough about Mike, John and their crew. They worked fast and efficiently and were very careful to clean up after themselves after each day. We stayed on budget and I love seeing how all of the plants and flowers have come in. It truly turned out just as I imagined. I highly recommend Shannon Lawn & Landscaping comprehensive, year-round maintenance programs, which include everything from garden design and care to masonry and seasonal clean-up to snow removal and driveway care. Its a great experience working with a professional who loves his chosen career. The year round showcase maintenance of my property indicate nothing less!
Shannon Lawn & Landscaping recently installed an irrigation system, back patio, and front flower bed for us, and we highly recommend them. From start to finish, they were timely, professional, and attentive to every detail. We appreciated that Mike did not try to oversell us a system that we didnt need. He gave us several options to choose from, and we are very happy with his stone and flower recommendations. The crews themselves did an awesome job. They communicated the daily schedule and progress, and cleaned the yard up every day. They even used blowers to fluff where heavy equipment had matted the grass down. Despite trenching the front and back yards to lay the pipes, there is minimal damage to our yard - and they carefully seeded the areas and are monitoring the re-growth. We love our new sprinkler system, patio, and flower bed, and couldnt be more pleased with the customer service from Shannon Lawn & Landscaping.
Having had bad luck in the past with another business that tried to grow grass where a tree stump was removed, it was a pleasure to see the attention to detail that Shannon provided. The other contractor just laid seeds and nothing grew except crab grass. Shannon did a great job of dethatching, aerating and topdressing the effected area. The dethatching even removed the crab grass that was growing. Great work so far and highly recommended.
Shannon Lawn & Landscaping are awesome! We had our entire lawn renovated. They spent 3 days working on our lawn, taking their time making sure they did a good job. They even came back to touch up some of the areas that did not grow as well due to lack of rain, without us having to call them. It has been about 1 month and our lawn looks outstanding. The entire Shannon team is professional and do excellent work. Dylan is knowledgeable, responsive and very patient. He takes the time to explain everything. The owners, Christine and Mike are great too and so is their entire team! I am looking forward to continue having them maintain our lawn. :)
My wife and I have been very pleased with the service provided by Shannons. Our lawn went from one of the worst to one of the best in the neighborhood at a very reasonable cost. Highly recommended!
Shannon Lawn and Landscaping do a thorough and professional job in keeping my lawn looking beautiful. You can count on them to be at your residence on the day assigned to you (in my case Mondays). I look forward to renewing my contract with them in 2016.
Shannon Lawn did a great job for us helping us decide and than implement a walk way solution around our deck. They were very professional, polite, and I really believe that we mattered to them. The gave us a quote, a time when they could install after we decided to use them, and that it would be completed in one day. There cleanup was wonderful and we have a better solution that we though could have been done. All I can say is Thanks Shannon Lawn & Landscaping for a great job start to finish.
