I recently hired Marty of Stellar services , to replace all the dead plants that had to be removed when my husband and I moved into our pre-owned home 6 weeks ago. We contracted for a certain number of plants to my complete satisfaction. The plants were delivered the next morning. That same afternoon, Marty and his crew showed up to plant the new plants in the beds. I peeked out occasionally and saw that there was a lot of work being done. When he was finished I went outside to look at the job. Imagine my surprise and delight to find that he had planted twice as many plants as we had contracted for, including some in the backyard too. My husband has been in the hospital 5 of the 6 weeks that we have lived in this house. I shared this with Marty and he went the extra mile to "give me something pretty to look at." I was moved to tears. The landscaping is beautiful.

Several days later, I called him back to discuss the many lawn/plant care services that his one company offers. I did contract with him for one year for all of the lawn care services that he offers. I did this because there are so many companies that only do mowing or only do fertilizing, etc, etc and I wanted to deal with only one company for all the lawn care. I also did this because he offers a free month if you pay for a year in advance, but he does have a 6 month payment plan too. But mostly, I signed up with him because of the many, many satisfied customers I have read about on TOTV and because he was prompt, kind, polite, courteous, dependable, reliable and just an all around nice young man with an excellent work ethic. This is one annual contract, I will not live to regret. I cannot wait to see my husband's face when he comes home from the hospital on Sun to all the beautiful blooming plants and flowers planted by Marty of Stellar Residential Services, LLC
Marty, Tyler, Andrew, James, etc. are all wonderful guys. Kind, helpful, honest...all the things everyone has said about them. Never have heard or read ONE bad thing about any of them. We had no qualms paying in advance. You have to trust someone sometimes....why let one bad experience blacken everything?
