Stecks Nursery and Landscaping

Horrible experience. This is my first spring/summer in my new house and I basically had not much lawn to start, so I was planning to put down 1 inch of topsoil across my whole property. First of all, they took forever to deliver it, it was several weeks and maybe a month. I understand we had some rainy weather, but others were delivering topsoil. Finally they scheduled a delivery. I paid for premium black topsoil, they literally dropped off 10 yards of "semi" clean fill. It was clumpy, rocky, glass in it and absolutely no organic matter. I had to start my project so i tried to make the best of it, which was a mistake. It was impossible to spread, and caked within days of getting it down. Also the truck left a huge dent in my driveway. When i raised this with them, all i wanted was for them to pick up what was left (about 4 yards) and have their guys spread new soil down where i had completed. They sent some guys to rake the bad soil and reseed and that was it. My lawn was ruined, I have 4 yards of unclean fill i can't do anything with and my driveway has a chunk missing. Responding to owner: Yes, it was appreciated that a crew was sent and Yes it was my decision to want to seed ea

Contacted Steck's to inquire about topsoil on Saturday 9/12. Outstanding topsoil was delivered on Monday, 9/14 and placed exactly where I requested despite proximity to overhead wires. Driver was a great guy, both skilled and professional. I am doing a front lawn renovation and many people have wanted to know where we scored such beautiful topsoil. We are sending them all your way! Thank you! Highly recommended!

Amazing customer service. Even better knowledge and work done at our house. They revitalized and gave such a beautiful vision to our yard. I have lived in the home for 15 years but never would have thought that slight patio modifications and a few different bushes would make the backyard such a pleasure to be in! Even long time friends who have visited have been blown away but the "makeover".

I do not usually write reviews - especially negative ones - but felt compelled in this case given the consistent discourtesy with which I was recently treated spanning across the first - and what can be confirmed as the last - two times I visited Stecks. The first time I went, I was shopping around looking at plants. There were two female employees literally just standing there watching me - it was bizarre. They didn't offer to help, I didn't see anything that piqued my interest, and I left. The second time I went was two days after Christmas... I went there hoping to get some discounted seasonal decor. When I walked in, the place smelled like cigarette smoke, and I immediately heard the harsh clamor beign produced by a man on the 2nd floor throwing large, cardboard boxes down the stairs. He issued a terse "be right down" and, after another five minutes or so of chucking boxes down the stairs, he came down and stood by the register waiting. He said none of the seasonal stuff was on sale, at which point I should have just walked out and gone up the street to Hollandia where I could've found the same thing for 50% off and been greeted with a smile instead of flying boxes by a gro

Website is not to be trusted, either are the owners. Sunday hours are listed as 9AM-4PM except for July and August. Drove 40 minutes to the nursery this past Sunday and they were closed. When I spoke to someone about that on Monday they were neither nice nor apologetic. "We will start opening on Sundays again in December". Once before we went to buy trees at Steck's because their Website advertised 40% off trees. Of course, the ones we liked were either "new stock" and not part of the sale (even though nothing is mentioned in the ad) or sorry, that one is sold. Don't waste your time.. there are a number of better nurseries in the Bethel/Trumbull area.
