Lawn Treatment Services
Stubenhofer Landscaping provides customized lawn treatment programs addressing fertilization, weed control, and pest management. Our tailored solutions consider Erie's climate and soil conditions to ensure healthy, vibrant lawns. By combining pre-emergent crabicides, granular fertilizers, and targeted herbicide applications, we deliver year-round lawn revitalization and seasonal protection for residential and commercial properties.
Timber Retaining Walls
We design and install durable timber retaining walls to manage sloped landscapes and prevent erosion. Using pressure-treated materials, our walls withstand Erie's seasonal weather while enhancing aesthetics. Projects range from garden borders to multi-tiered systems, integrating drainage solutions and complementing existing hardscapes for functional and visually appealing results.
Patios & Driveways
Our concrete patios, walkways, and driveways feature high-quality pavers and Versa-Lok systems built for Erie's climate. Each installation includes drainage planning to prevent heaving and sinking. From raised paver patios to custom landings, we create durable, attractive hardscapes that improve curb appeal and property functionality.
Water Gardens
We design and install custom water gardens, fountains, and ponds tailored to property aesthetics and maintenance needs. Our installations incorporate waterfalls, aquatic plants, and circulation systems to reduce algae while adding natural beauty. We also restore existing features, extending their lifespan and enhancing landscape integration.

Report
We contracted with Stubenhofer Landscaping to both build a paver patio (replacing an old wooden deck) and to do extensive landscaping in our treed backyard. From the very beginning Joe Stubenhofer was responsive and excellent with all communications. His quotes were clear and he was open to several back-and-forth iterations as we finalized what we wanted. His crew, especially his foreman Bob were great to work with.
They were polite and cleaned up at the end of every day. Bob brought issues to our attention, suggested solutions, and even suggested some enhancements that would save us money. Of most importance, both projects were completed in a reasonable amount of time and we are extremely pleased with the results. I would recommend them to others who are considering either landscaping or hardscaping, or both, as we did.

I had some Stone laid about 3 years ago and didn't realize that they don't put anything down under the stone first to keep the grass from coming up and the Stone from sinking, it left me with a lot of problems. I seem to have more work to do now than if I hadn't had them bring the stone. I have to have another landscape company come and remove the stone. I wish they had told me when I got my estimate!

Hung up on us once we asked to have our lawn mowed by them. Refused to help my mother when we had broken our lawn mower for a week and I couldn't get around to mowing the lawn. Gentleman that answered the phone showed no compassion and instantly hung up the phone on us. Would not recommend to anyone, there are far better people in the business to give your money to.
