10%1–2★, last 20 reviewsiShare of 1–2★ reviews in the last 24 months — or the 20 newest reviews when the company had fewer than 20 in that time.
Customers frequently highlight the company's responsiveness, professional communication, and ability to complete services like turf installation, lawn maintenance, and driveway repair quickly. Positive feedback often notes that the team provides on-site estimates and handles complex landscape transformations effectively. However, low-star reviews cite concerns about high pricing for specific lawn packages and instances of unresponsiveness or payment disputes, creating a mixed view regarding cost and post-service communication.

Sotirios was professional the entire time. I called him to finish a turf installation that my previous landscaper did not finish the job. He was responsive, upfront and gave me a good price based on what I had set aside from previous job. Highly recommended! Will use in the future.

Very skeptical of all the positive reviews here. There's not 1 customer who was displeased? Received an estimate for lawn maintenance, seeding, fertilizing, and spring clean, and they wanted $7300. It's a 5K sq ft of lawn but pricing is up the damn roof. Unless you like throwing money away, there are better alternatives.

The owner of this company is a complete thief. He takes money and does not pay anything back. Starts ghosting and not answering calls. I would suggest nobody ever do business with him.

Steven worked wonders with our backyard, exceeding all our expectations. He orchestrated a remarkable transformation, turning what was once a perilous area for our little girls into an oasis. Upon our initial move, we encountered a challenging landscape with uneven terrain and tree roots. However, thanks to Steven's expertise, our concerns were swiftly resolved. He skillfully leveled the backyard with a retaining wall, complemented by beautiful bordered pavers and matching staircase, sprinklers, and lush sod. Without a doubt, I endorse Steven and his exceptional team at Blue Pine. In fact, I am already contemplating engaging their services again next year for the upcoming pool installation.

I definitely recommend them!! They were the only company that contacted me and actually showed up after calling numerous landscapers in the area. The owner is very professional and patient with me through the whole process and answered all my questions. Very happy and would use them again.

So happy with Blue Pine’s work. Sotirios was there everyday making sure my requests were met by his team which made all the difference to my backyard and my peace of mind while I was out of town. I had a really tricky curvaceous walkway that we needed to make straight with pavers and he did an outstanding job. He also has some great suggestions with my plant selection that I would have never thought of. They did a great job and they truly listened to what I wanted. I will work with them next year for my front yard too.
