  We hired John's Landscaping to take care of winter snow removal and we could not be more pleased. The workers are thorough and show up without any prompting from us (that's a big change from other companies we have hired in the past). Not gonna lie, we have had to call them back a couple of times (mostly due to cars in the driveway) and they have always promptly reappeared. While they are more expensive than our previous contractor, John's Landscaping is FAR more reliable and thorough. Worth every penny - especially this winter. Will absolutely continue to hire them for future needs.

  They have dropped the ball on Newton lower falls it looks horrible, they take they’re brake on the property, they blow dirt on the cars, they planted flowers that are dead now do to lack of care, the place looks horrible!! They cut some bushes yesterday and did not clean it up, they take advantage and don’t do such a good job on this property.

  We have used John’s Landscape Service in Arlington for about two years, for lawn cutting, pruning and snow plowing. Their prices have been very competitive, particularly for lawn service, and Dave, the manager, has generally been responsive when problems arose. Unfortunately, our experience this week was sufficiently poor that we will no longer use the company. For our annual hedge and shrub pruning, I specifically asked Dave for the same crew I had worked successfully with last year, and he agreed. Instead, a different crew arrived on August 13, led by Eduardo. I spent about 20 minutes walking the property with Eduardo and Laura, explaining exactly what needed to be done, what the priorities were, and, bery importantly: which areas were not to be touched. Having cared for this garden for approximately 15 years, I was quite specific. I also made clear that the priority work needed to be completed on August 13 (I could not be home during the following day, which is precisely why I had asked for the work to be completed on August 13). Eduardo assured me that this would not be a problem. Eduardo appeared skilled and careful, but the work progressed bery slowly and additional workers arrived later. Despite my repated in-person requests and Eduardo’s assurance, the work was not completed that day, and nobody contacted me to explain or arrange how the unfinished work would be handled. The next day happened to be my son’s birthday. Without prior discussion, another crew arrived to continue the job while we were preparing for his celebration. Their trucks initially obstructed the driveway, and, more seriously, the crew began pruning in a delicate pool/garden area that I had explicitly instructed them not to touch. While I had to be away during parts of the day, my son called me because he did not know what to do. I spoke with Laura by telephone, and she acknowledged being confused about the instructions (and was trimming the areas she was told not to). According to my son, after our conversation she expressed her frustration using profanity in his presence, which understandably upset him on his birthday. When I finally reached Dave, he appeared unaware of what was happening. To his credit, he responded and sent Walter to stop the work to allow for the birthday celebration. After two years as customers, this was extremely disappointing. The fundamental problem was not simply pruning. This was poor communication, inadequate supervision, failure to follow clear instructions, and putting a customer’s family member in the middle of the resulting confusion. John’s has provided reasonably priced services for us in the past, which is why I do not write this lightly. But after this experience, we will not use John’s Landscape Service again and cannot recommend them.

  Absolute live saving this season. Thank you to John's company and crew for all the hardwork you do to make Boston and surrounding towns safe and accessible during this ridiculous storms. Your team truly goes out of their way for their customers. You are appreciated deeply.

  We worked with John’s on a large backyard project. The end result is amazing. I also considered our backyard as ‘uninviting’, now it’s my favorite place. The project took a lot longer (3-4 months) than estimated (6 weeks) but it was started in Dec and ready for us to enjoy Spring. There was some weather delay, brief supply delay and seemed like a lack of workers many days. We paid top dollar, but the outcome was amazing. The crew, designer and project manager were great to work with as well.
