Because of the recs coming from TOTV, I was going to call Stellar for an estimate. It turns out I was able to flag them down out front while petting someone's little dogs. Garrett was the person who came in and gave us an estimate. Our friends who moved here in October had seen Stellar's flyer in our house and thought the price was great.

Garrett is now installing our doughnuts, will be doing pest control and lawn fert. We'll wait to sign up for mowing. (We've only been here two days and our Visa card is overheating.) But the price seemed as reasonable as our friends' mower's charge. Plus his prices are good for 13 months, so there's a savings there too.

When we finally get around to enhancing the landscaping, they will give us 10% off. So far, we're very pleased. Will let you know more later. But I like having everything bundled with one company.

The day we moved in, someone showed up with two huge palms on a trailer and wanted to sell them to us. Said they were Washingtonians. We said no because we're not ready for that yet, and later found out that Washingtonians grow to be 100 feet. I guess I'm glad we turned him down, and will be very cautious about people just showing up at the door.
We made an appointment with Marty for a few days after we closed. The day we closed Matt was drying around. I told him I had an appointment with Marty in a few days and he said he would be glad to handle it right then. We had a busy day and I was tired and hungry so I asked if he minded if I went to get lunch first. Of course he understood. I had given him my name and he called Marty to let him know that I was going to take care of everything with him. Before we could pull away, he asked if I was Angie Fox on TOTV. I told him I was. Marty told him to go ahead and take care of us. So while we were getting lunch, they were working on our lawn.

When we came back with our lunch I think there were four gentlemen working on my lawn. They seemed to have it all under control! Stellar takes care of EVERYTHING. I too like having one company doing it all!

I felt confident with Matt and really feel good about hiring them. We bought the whole package.

I was impressed! All I can say is, check with them before you sign with anyone!
