Was able to schedule with short notice and complete service before I became unavailable. The leaf removal and cleanup of the area leading to where the leaves were placed was excellent including along the curbs of the road and the center of the road. Would definitely recommend. I plan on using their spring services also.

I contacted Spicer's Lawn Care for a quote on leaf removal and they provided me one the same day. I accepted , they came out the next day and completed the job beyond my expectations. Will use them again for my lawn care needs. Great job!

A salute to Zack Spicer and his crew for doing a fabulous job in clearing my father’s yard which is surrounded by woodland. I very much appreciated Zack’s responsiveness, professionalism and competitive pricing. Zack has earned my highest recommendation!Major General (R) Joseph S. Ward Jr

Spicer’s executed a perfect phenomenal job at our property. We can actually see our property now instead of the Amazon jungle. I would highly recommend this team for cleaning up and landscaping work. We can now decide what we will do next.

Zack’s crew did a great job installing a retaining wall, leveling and reseeding the lawn. They worked hard to get the job done on time and did quality work. It was a pleasure working with Zack and his crew.

Zack and his team were fantastic! After my previous lawn service disappeared, they came to the rescue with a last-minute mowing. I called in the afternoon, and they were able to come by the same day and take care of everything. They did a great job mowing, weed whacking, and blowing all the debris so the yard looked perfect. I was so impressed with their quick response and attention to detail.

Over the last several years, we developed a drainage issue on one side of our house. The old French drain along the back of our property was over 30 years old and definitely ready for retirement. I called Spicers Lawncare after reading their positive reviews, and I’m happy to say I can now add mine to the list.Zach was quick to respond to my initial message and provided a reasonable quote within a couple of days. Not long after, he and his crew (along with River—don’t worry, not the flooding kind!) were on-site installing the new drain. It was a big job, but they were professional, efficient, and got it all done in a single day, including cleaning up the area afterward.It’s been about a month, and the mud pit out back is finally gone. I’m planning additional landscaping work and will definitely be calling Zach again.

The team was professional from the beginning of my project until the end. Zach Spicer notified me promptly when I sent out a request, and the work was completed in less than a week's time. He also answered any questions or concerns I had, and he made appropriate suggestions when I asked for ideas.

Zack and his team were extraordinary! They’re excellent communicators, which is rare in this industry. His team was talented, respectful, efficient, and easy to work with. They worked relentlessly during a heat wave and still paid attention to small details. I had spoken to three other companies prior to finding Zack. He had the best and most creative solutions for our space. So glad I went with Spicer Landscaping – I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Spicers Lawn Care went above and beyond on making our lawn look neat and cleaned up. The guys worked so hard and it looks so much nicer now!

We had just moved to CT and our new yard needed a full excavation, new paver walkway, rear patio and a lot of love. Enter Spicers Landscape Design. We were told we would not recognize the new space when they were done. That is the truth. Its an absolute oasis now. The crew came, saw and conquered the battle. Hard working and meticulous are the two words that come to mind. Choose Spicers! You will not regret it.

Vera Harsh

Spicers installed a patio with a garden surround. Zack had helpful suggestions and the team was meticulous about their work. The garden is now planted, we’re enjoying the patio, and the surrounding yard is in better shape than before they arrived.

All I can say about Spicer’s is WOW, what a fantastic result! I called them to grade and stone my driveway which was a terrible mess. They were responsive, communicative, efficient, and professional. The job was done quickly and meticulously and it looks better than I could have imagined. Thank you, Spicer’s!

Looked around and found these guys after surfing the web for landscapers around my area. Took some pictures, sent over, and was quoted a really competitive price for all the work I needed done to include: removing vines creeping up my home, pulling out a massive bush on the front of my house, and giving my lawn a much needed trim just to name a few. These guys are stellar in every aspect! Would highly recommend

Great job... very easy to work with throughout big backyard redesign and reconstruction. Zach brings calm leadership and creative design ideas that expertly reflect our desires. It's easy to understand why Spicers is top-rated among Best of Mystic surveys!

I reached out to Zack after a water main repair on my property demolished my stone wall and dealt the death blow to an already-hurting lawn. His crew did a phenomenal job rebuilding the wall - better than it looked before - and did a complete new lawn installation complete with new topsoil and grading. I've been pleased with the result and Zack was responsive, professional and great to work with.

I would highly recommend Spicers Lawn Care & Landscape Design LLC! My property was completely overgrown with weeds and I needed the yard cleaned up quick. They were able to fit me in the schedule within days and the work they did was outstanding! Completely transformed my yard to looking new! Reasonable pricing, great work, professional and personable. I will definitely be using them in the future for bigger projects or just regular yard maintenance!

I highly recommend Spicer’s Lawn Care & Landscape Design. I needed a large shrub cut back for access to some chimney work. On extremely short notice, Zack came to my rescue. He did an extraordinary job on the never pruned 35 year old shrub! Thank you Zack and crew. I’ll be calling again soon!

Michele German

Working with Zachary was a real pleasure. He offered helpful suggestions for our stepping stone project to ensure the walkway worked with our little cottage. The flagstones his crew installed were perfect for our project. Zachary’s crew arranged the stones esthetically and after the job was complete the yard was ship shape and cleaned of any dirt and debris . I would recommend Spicers Landscaping .

Hugh Campbell

Zack and his crew replaced what used to be a kid’s playscape with sod. They prepared the ground, brought in topsoil and magnificent sod. The outcome was great. I would highly recommend Zack Spicer and his crew.

The owner is a pleasure to work with and super professional. Could not believe their crews meticulous attention to detail and ability to complete the project in such a short period of time. Would hire again for landscape/hardscape needs.

Wendy Estelle

Spicer's Lawn Care and Landscape Design did a fantastic job for us! Zack and his crew created a raised burm around our property for a planting of 250 trees. They leveled out two areas with loam and installed fresh sod, creating beautiful, lush areas in our yard. They also helped us relocate a few mature shrubs and trees. They were very professional and efficient, always showed up on time, and kept everything very neat and organized while they worked. I highly recommended Spicer's Lawn Care and Landscape Design for your landscaping needs. I know we certainly will call them for our future projects!

Rachel

I’m very happy I called Spicer Lawn Care. They are prompt, courteous and professional. I get lots of oak leaves on the lawn and they did a great job clearing the leaves last fall. I will continue to use them for other landscaping services.

I called Spicer's Lawn Care & Lanscaping today ... Zach is a HERO!!This is my 1st time needing his services... thankfully he can handle snow based emergencies after the snow fall!!Unexpectedly, my oil delivery driver refused to deliver oil due to 2 inches of snow/ice in my driveway even though I salted ... didn't even know that was a thing & I've owned this house 30+ years!!!Zach came to put additional sand down to remedy my situation IMMEDIATELY! :-)Spicer's Lawn Care & Lanscaping (AND snow removal services) moving forward, they will always be the company I refer. I'm always glad to support a long time family based LOCAL company!He treated me with respect like i was a neighbor and came out same day to take care of everything (so hard to find these days)!I appreciate your services... thank you so much :-)

Carol Blackburn

Called Spicer’s Lawncare & Landscape in the pinch to have my driveway plowed and salted. I am NOT a customer of their’s but the gentleman on the phone was friendly, helpful and he even went out of his way and scraped and salted my driveway. I can’t say enough about the way I was treated by a company that I just looked up on line, I would give ten stars if it was an option. Thank you Spicer’s !!!!

Contacted Zach through his web site.He called later that day.Showed up when he said and did a fantastic job removing the leaves from my yard, even mowed the lawn.Highly recommend.

Jean Ellis

I have had Spicer do my yard cleanup for the past 5 years or so. My town has no pickup services, and layers of pine needles and leaves are heavy and hard to dispose of. Zack and his crew do an exceptional job. I highly recommended them for any work you need done on your property.

Linda Martin

1701481391

Once again Zach and crew did a super job on leaf removal. Have used him for several years. He responds quickly, fairly priced and does great work. Highly recommend him for all lawn or landscaping work.

Alexis Gleason

Zack and his team did a fantastic job on my yard! I had moved in a year ago and due to lack of time, I wasn’t able to keep up with my yard needs not to mention it was completely dug up for a septic replacement. During the initial walk through, Zack provided his knowledge and advice on how to make my yard better. Not only did they provide a fall clean up but they provided landscape work to give my house a little more curb appeal. I’ll definitely hire Zack and his team for more yard projects.

I used Spicers for a project at my elderly parents house in Preston, CT. Zack was very professional and his quote was reasonable.Moreover he went above and beyond the scope of work which (to me) illustrates his pride in his work. And he would not take more money even though he very much deserved it!I will be using Spicer's all the time from now and I HIGHLY recommend you do to!

Adding front and back walkway/ patio areas marks the third time in three years I have hired Spicer lawn care for a major job. Zack Spicer and his crew are talented, experienced and professional. From stone selection suggestions to design ideas, Zack helped get the project off to the right start. We were working with the challenge of me as homeowner being out of state, yet Zack kept me updated with photos as work progressed. And crucially when I did not care for the standard funnel transition from path to stair, Zack pleasantly and promptly changed it to squared off.Prior to this job, Spicer conducted major yard/ tree work and filled in a pool. I highly recommend Spicer and his crew.
