Fabian Landscaping & Design

We purchased an old colonial farmhouse in Lyme and had no idea how to tackle the rehabilitation of the six acre lot that had been neglected for many years. We found the answer in Fabian Landscape. Steadily and surely Fabian has uncovered the natural and historic beauty of the property. He helped us develop a plan, which included: clearing overgrowth and debris; correcting drainage and run-off issues; repairing, rebuilding and in some cases relocating centuries-old stone walls; restoring meadowlands; and installing masonry and tile around our pool. Fabian’s work combines reliability and attention to detail with a master’s sense of creativity and problem solving. He and his crew are a delight to work with!

We have a mid-century architect-designed house and worked with Fabian on a total redo of the landscape. This was a complicated job that included moving big trees, digging new beds, and “translating” conceptual plans drawn by an architect into the reality of the landscape. From the first time we met with Fabian until the last moment that he and his diligent and polite crew left the house, we knew we were in the hands of a consummate professional. He came early to appointments; he offered careful, thoughtful, and interesting suggestions to help bring the plans to life; he had a great knowledge of the plants and trees we were dealing with; and he and his crew left our landscape incredibly beautiful by the end. Fabian is smart, diligent, and has a great esthetic eye to boot. His fee is also very reasonable. I have rarely felt so enthusiastic about recommending someone!

We had a small space that we needed a lot more utility out of and Fabian made it happen beautifully! We are so thrilled with how it came out.

Fabian delivers. Great work. On time. On budget. Honest. Hard working. He takes great pride in his business and it shows. Call him. Hire him. You won’t regret it.

Fabian and his crew are trustworthy, hard-working, and do first-class work. At the end of each day, they leave the place clean with as little disturbance as possible. He is very easy to deal with and has good ideas. We have recommended Fabian for many jobs and no one is disappointed. He is so busy now we are afraid he won’t have time for us, but he always does. We consider him our friend.

Fabian and his team helped us clean up and start our gardens. They cut through years of brush and trees to clear the way. They’re organized, have the right equipment, and a pleasure to work with. We’re glad to have their expertise and help for the new gardens we are planning next.

Fabian and team take care of mowing, mulching, snow removal, tree pruning and so much more. I can rely on them. They are also very responsive in emergency situations and I am very happy with them. I know them for years and hopefully, many years will follow.

Simply put: Fabian and his crew are the best lawn and outside home improvement guys with whom I have ever worked in 5 houses over 30 years: always reliable, hard-working, and fairly priced. If you can visualize it, they can do it. It has been a pleasure to work with them, and I would highly recommend without reservation.

It was a real pleasure having someone as dependable as Fabian completely re-roof my garage and mud room entry. He was at my home the following day after calling for an estimate. Once the new shingles were picked out, his team showed up the very next day and began the job of ripping off the entire roof and putting down a brand new one from plywood, weather shield and felt before installing the new shingles. What a great job his team did. Certainly some very hard workers who I would not hesitate to hire again when I have additional contracting work done. I would definitely recommend them. Awesome group of hard workers who get the job done.

Fabian has been a godsend for us, completing so many projects including masonry, driveway and landscaping. I honestly don’t believe all this work could have been completed if we had not made his acquaintance. Fabian and his brother Salvador is are excellent masons, able to match the style of existing stone walls on the property. I have seen some of his other masonry work and am impressed with his ability to stay within the style appropriate for the period of the architecture and location. Our landscape architect repeatedly tells us that we really lucked out finding Fabian. We are able to complete so many more projects around the property than we anticipated because of the efficiency and speed with which he and his crew work. I can’t recommend him enough!

I have been working with Fabian for about 4 to 5 years now. I am very pleased with his work. He has done stone walls, lawn care, replaced my driveway and Belgian stonework.. Power washed my roofs. Just a few of the things over the years that he has done. Fabian is an honest man, and most reliable. He always has a smile on his face and a helping hand. His prices are always fair and his work is always done on time. Fabian, his brother, and crew are great guys. He is a good father and family man. Richard Manning, Essex, Connecticut

Since 2012 Fabian and his crew have managed all our lawn care, snow removal, roofing and masonry in Lyme. As others have said, they are always prompt, ready to help in emergencies, and a complete delight to work with. We have come to trust and rely on them to manage our property when we are away, and completely trust Fabian’s judgment of what needs to be done in our absence. We count Fabian and his family and crew as good friends, for whom we are really grateful.

The patio and sidewalks Fabian and his crew installed are the first thing visitors to our house notice. “This is fabulous,” said a friend this past weekend. Others just say “wow.” The 1500-square foot patio winds around a pool, a deck, a couple of big oak trees, and some garden beds over a distance of maybe 150 feet. Everything is perfectly level, thanks to the careful, painstaking work these guys put in. There was a lot of extra effort just to even the soil level. They took care of that with no extra charge, even bringing in extra dirt for raised garden beds we just built. Fabian always returns phone calls or texts promptly, and his prices are great. I recommend him to all my friends and real estate clients.

Fabian is an honest, hard-working and knowledgeable landscaper. He has removed trees, planted trees and removed snow. We are very lucky to have Fabian help us with our multiple landscaping demands. He provides excellent service at a good price in a timely fashion.

Fabian and his Team are the best. I would highly recommend them for any job large or small. The quality of work is excellent and I trust all of them at my home. They are polite, reliable, and quality workmanship is performed. I have been using the services for 5 years.

Fabian, his brother Omar and crew are versatile, hard-working and very reliable landscapers. They are also talented stone masons and meticulous brick layers. Last summer and fall they completed two patios, stone walls, stone steps and landscaping for a pond and two waterfalls in our backyard. We could not have been more pleased with their attention to detail, hard work, and a great attitude, and the project has turned out better than we hoped. We recommend them highly.

I have know Fabian and his family for over 10 years! He is honest, dedicated and a highly skilled landscaper. He has built bluestone patios, walkways, granite steps and even installed a cedar fence at my beach house project! He advised me on how to shape the perennial gardens that we planted. His crew prepped and prepared the soil for the new plants and the sod. A total transformation that I could not have done without Fabian!

We have been working with Fabian and his crew for almost a year now. They have installed a stone patio, stone wall, a lawn, and shrubbery. Fabian’s entire crew are very talented and dedicated to their profession. They are creative and approach each task in a thoughtful, well-planned manner. I would highly recommend them for any landscaping job, including masonry work.

Fabian is conscientious, reliable, and very hard-working. I have relied on him for many years for yard work, landscaping, snow removal – all done well and promptly. It gives me great piece of mind to know I have him as a trusted resource.

What stands out for me about Fabian is his can-do attitude – no head scratching, no fussing. He’s straightforward, honest and reliable. I was impressed how he and his team handled the challenges of what I thought was a difficult job to do. They left the worksite clean and in one day were able to make a visible transformation to the property. I am grateful for their hard work and professionalism. A pleasure to do business with him.

Fabian has been doing our lawn care, gutters, tree work, snow removal you name it for years. I can’t say enough about him and his team. Responsible, trustworthy, honest and hard-working. He always returns calls quickly and has helped us in snow emergencies. His prices are fair without hidden extras. His crew is polite, hard-working and our yard looks picture perfect when they leave. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Fabian and his crew are service-oriented, punctual, very reasonably priced and tackle any size job with excellence. I frequently refer him to my clients.

I was so pleased with Fabian’s professionalism. The work was completed in a timely manner and his pricing was very reasonable.
He listened to my thoughts about what I was looking for, AND he offered helpful design suggestions based on his experience and expertise.
I am so pleased with my completed patio, and wouldn’t hesitate to have him do another project, OR to recommend him to others.

Fabian and his brother Omar came highly recommended to us by a friend about 4 years ago. We have not been disappointed. Fabian and his crew are professional, reliable and take great pride in their work. They have done everything from seasonal cleanup, stonewalls, patios and major excavations for us. We would recommend Fabian and his crew without any hesitation. A+++ in our book!

Fabian and his team are fantastic. Beautiful patio and lawn. Fast, reliable and a true perfectionist.

We have been very pleased working with Fabian, his brother Omar and the rest of the team for many years. Honesty, punctuality, availability, politeness and good work is the simplest way to describe their performance.

Great team, reliable, responsible and do a beautiful job. The patio he did in our backyard is amazing. made a big difference to our house.
I had received a lot of compliments from my friend, highly recommend.

I have worked with Fabian many years and have recommended him to many customers looking for hardscape contractors! He works efficiently and the end product is always to the customers satisfaction!

Fabian and his team are absolutely wonderful! From day one Fabian was patient, reliable, and very knowledgeable. He is a seasoned professional and a problem solver. He offered some great solutions to the challenges with my yard and the hardscape he and his team installed looks really great. I cannot recommend Fabian Landscaping and Design more!

I was introduced to Fabian and his brother Omar 3/4 years ago when they came to remove heavy snow from my roof. Since then, Fabian and his team have done all the landscape work on my property, including repairs to stone walls, footpaths, and some tree work. Fabian and his employees are very hardworking, reliable, honest and are always willing to tackle anything I might ask of them. I have also found Fabian’s price quotes for work done on my property, to be very fair…I will highly recommend Fabian’s service to anyone seeking references for him and have already done so on several occasions.

Fabian and his crew really look out for us. While they are reliable caretakers of our lawn and grounds in the spring, summer and fall, they can also be counted on to keep an eye on our place when we are away in the winter. Whether it’s an ice dam build-up, oil problems with our heating or general winter concerns, it is rare to find a team that doesn’t just do the obvious but looks out for problems before they arise, and nips them in the bud. We have relied on Fabian and his team for a number of tasks, and we are never disappointed. We can’t recommend Fabian, Omar, and the entire crew highly enough.

Fabian and his crew came to our rescue when we put our home on the market and needed all kinds of landscaping repairs done in a hurry. This was our first meeting and he jumped right into the action. Since then we have moved to a home in Old Lyme and Fabian has already saved the day a bunch of times as well as taken beautiful care of our new lawn. His crew always shows up when he says they will. They are all friendly and kind and get the work done very efficiently. Fabians prices are always very fair. We are about to start a large landscaping project and Fabian will be doing all aspects of it. I can’t say enough about the quality of his work and his level of professionalism.

I contracted with Fabian 4 years ago having recently moved into our new home. The landscape design and completion of what turns out to be a nice upgrade to our property. His work crew skilled. hard-working, and completed projects as quoted. I highly recommend Fabian’s lawn care service.

My wife and I gave Fabian only a basic idea of what we wanted and the size of the patio. He came back with more ideas to improve our plan and assured me that the area I laid out was going to be large enough. The stones my wife picked out had different colors within the blocks. The blocks were laid out in a pattern that only people of their experience could have gotten to look right. His crew was neat organized and completed the job within the time he stated. They even planted grass seed and laid down straw. One less task that I would have had to do. His work came highly recommended, and I am glad we chose to use Fabian Landscaping and Design. Thank you.
