Home Services reviews in Arlington, Massachusetts

Horrible business. Landscapers are disrespectful and park wherever they want blocking people into their homes. No respect for where they are blowing their debris and the damage it causes to personal property

Requested first appointment for quote: no show
Second appointment: called approximately 10 minutes before second appointment stating that there was a scheduling conflict and couldn't make it.
Third appointment scheduled for next day.
Third appointment: no show
Based on above performance I would not recommend this contractor.

The team at Muzzioli Landscaping was responsive, professional and did a great job at a fair price. I would not hesitate to use them again for my landscaping and hope improvement needs.

Dante, the owner, has to be the most kind hearted, calm, and down to earth person I have ever met. When hes not busy playing with his unit his work ethic is unmatched.

I would highly recommend their services.

We have used D. Muzzioli Landscaping for several years. We previously used another land scape service and were not thrilled. Then we hired D. Muzzioli to do some extensive work that involved replacing the cement floor in our garage, paving the drive way with decorative stones, and digging a water disposal well to eliminate pooling of water in the driveway. We were so happy with the results we simply moved all of our landscaping business to Dante Muzzioli and have never looked back. The lawn and gardens look terrific and during the winter he plows the snow and shovels the walks. Each Sping he repairs the lawn damage resulting from snow plowing. He also clips the bushes, and plants flowers in the Sping and again in the summer. We love the service.

Muzzioli Landscaping has been great with our recent landscaping project. Installed irrigation in front, back and side lawns and ensured that all grass and plants were covered. Hydro-seeded a brand new back lawn and Installed substantial plantings. Had great feedback and advice on location and look of overall yard. Had a mason do the small stone work that was involved. Worked with us to keep the cost down and stood behind all their work. Connor has been a pleasure to work with and Victor and his crew were excellent and extremely customer focused. They exceeded all expectations for our yard. We would highly recommend them for any future work.

When we were ready to find a new team to take care of our lawn, we spoke with several local firms and got bids. Muzzioli Landscaping was the most reasonable, but also the most responsive and knowledgeable. I wish we had switched to them sooner!

Now, almost two years later, we continue to have nothing but the highest praise and confidence in Muzzioli Associates. They did a great job redoing our dying lawn, and they have continued to maintain the lawn beautifully. We were surprised (happily) when they took ownership of some brown patches of the lawn this spring and put in sod to replace those areas. They've also been quick to recognize when we had grubs and took care of that. They respond quickly to our questions. And the crew does a wonderful job on regular maintenance, shrub trimming, and mulching. We recommend them without reservation!

We use John’s Landscaping for our lawn irrigation, as two of our sons have a lawn service company. John’s service is always top notch! We would use their Landscaping services if our sons weren’t cutting our lawn.

This landscaping service sent 2 employees and two leaf blowers along with a commercial composting attachment to their truck to garden street in Cambridge December 1st. Not only are leaf blowers not allowed on a Sunday in the city, 2 are not permitted on such a small property that they were on. They do not respond to calls and I had to call the city (also not responsive on a Sunday) and eventually the police. Why do you think this is an acceptable way to operate? Your noise and environmental pollution is unnecessary for a property that small, and your disregard for the rules put in place for people to live peacefully in this town is why you should not be allowed to operate as you do. I have seen your truck in the area before, also violating the leaf blower ordinances in the summer. .

If you have a flat yard, lots of $, and low expectations hire them. Our experience was this: Edged 2/3 of the garden and left the rest untouched. Why would they do that? Cut down the perennials when using the trimmer to cut the grass. Our uneven sloped yard was cut with a big mower so in some spots the grass was 1/2 inch high and in other spots it was 6 inches high. Often didn't even cut the whole yard, skipped cutting along the neighbors fence and around our shed. Spend no more than 20 minutes on our yard each week. Sprayed/fertilized but didn't fill in the tag for how long we couldn't use the yard. Moved lawn furniture to cut grass but never put it back. We really wanted to like them but it just wasn't going to happen. Our yard is till in recovery.

They showed up unannounced and started work without discussing what I wanted, despite a specific request to walk the property with me. Did a terrible job, hacking apart the bushes unevenly and leaving them damaged, and then charged more than twice what was quoted.

Not worth the money. We hired them fall ground clean-ups. They showed up whenever they wanted and charged each time. Moreover, when we hired them for snow removal, they did not show up in an actual snow storm, but when there was no snow on the ground, they showed up and tried to charge. If a business has this low rating, there should be a reason. I see why clearly.

If possible, I will give zero star. Other snow-removing trucks are very gentle and quite during the night, but their snow-removing trucks are rude and always make a lot of loud noise and awaken the whole house. When they clean the yield, all things are blowed to the neighbors. I hope we have regulations to control such a bad company!

Our condo complex has had snow removal service during the winters with John's Landscape Service for years now. They always do a great job, are responsive, thoughtful, and professional.

Gets the job done and stays on top of plowing to keep customers safe

We did a huge project with John's because they were the only landscapers that actually sent a designer and had suggestions, rather than just expecting me to tell them what to do. We removed trees, graded, added a patio, walkways, and shed bed, added retaining walls, dug the driveway wider, and added irrigation and grass.

Throughout the project, it was.... fine. Absolutely every item came in at the tip top of the quoted range. But work went quickly. Communication was... ok. People would show up at unexpected times to go over things. The sub-contractors for the patio and stonework were great. We had to ask like 5 times for them not to kill a section of groundcover by leaving dirt on it. By the time it was moved, it was already dead. So some good, some bad.

If it was just that, I'd put it at 3 stars. Maybe 4? It came out well. It was a big project, 2 full months of work. Stuff will happen.

But, we've also used them for fall cleanup the last 2 years. We've seen billing mistakes each year, added services we didn't ask for, mediocre work, arguing over billing, raised prices with zero notice.

What a waste of time. All I want is to pick up the leaves at an agreed upon price without blowing all the mulch into the grass.

I used the snow plow services of John's Landscape for the first time last year. His team did a great job and I would recommend this company. My only caveat is snow plow services are not inexpensive. This is an example that you get what you pay for.

Inconsiderate and disrespectful landscaping company. They were servicing an elderly community on the day of federal senate elections. They blew leaves on top of my car continuously for 15 minutes, trapping me in my vehicle and compromising my ability to vote. They littered the sidewalk completely with leaves forcing elderly and handicapped people to walk into a busy street of oncoming traffic. I confronted the manager on duty regarding being trapped in my vehicle , as well as my freshly washed car which was now a pile of leafs and debris. The manager told me he did not care if I voted or not. Inconsiderate and awful business, avoid at all costs.

They have repeated and deliberately plow snow into into high piles right on top of handicap ramp access to side-walk leaving no access for handicapped/disabled persons or it possible for homeowner to clear. They do not respect the locals or their bi-laws Horrible Experience BEWARE!

John's Landscape Service is excellent! I have an enormous oak tree on a corner lot. . . with its mass of autumnal leaves plus leaves dropped from neighboring oaks, I'd be at a loss without John's Landscape!!! I've used his service for years and every year, I'm so glad I do. The landscapers are very professional and everyone I speak with in the office is helpful and friendly!

John's Landscape did the landscaping for our yard, and we continue to use them for our irrigation and occasional mulching and yard clean-up. They are always professional and easy to contact. Our perennials continue to thrive 10+ years later.
