Home Services reviews in Hudson, Massachusetts

Dave and his team have been doing our Christmas lights for the past couple of years. Last year, our first year, they came out and gave a great estimate and took care of everything from start to finish - putting them up, setting the timer, taking them down, etc. This year we made some modifications because we cut down a tree and they were able to adjust the estimate easily. They then found a really fun piece of lighting that I had asked them to see if they could dig up (a massive star for the top of one of our big trees) and they just installed everything again (right on the day that they said they would). It looks AMAZING and our kids just love it. I'll be using them for as long as we're in this house.

Hi Dave,

I feel the need to thank you and your team for the excellent service and care that I have been receiving from Dave’s Landscape Management these past 5 years since I moved to Stow!!!!

Overseeing so many services requires extremely good management, and, as a business owner for over 26 years, I know it when I see it.

Allow me to shout out praise for the newest members on your team, Nick and Kristine, who did a superb job pruning here last week!!! They knew what to do and how to listen and advise, providing exactly what was needed!

Eric and Evan are excellent at mowing and weed whacking weekly, and considerate of my special dog yard logistics.

In fact EVERYONE is, and continues to be, especially attentive to my special dog yard logistics!!!!!

And, of course, Tim is always on top of my situation whenever needed! Thank you, Tim!

Susan and Heather have done and exceptional job of planting and caring for my precious new Beach Roses, along with maintaining everything else that requires their special loving care.

I must also say that SIMPLY SAFE Lawn Care has proven to be extremely well organized, providing great service, and sensitive to the organic treatment needed for pets as well as the danger of compromising the delicate balance of the Lake Boon ecosystem.

I’d be remise not to mention your maintenance of my irrigation system, your tree removal, all my snow removal in winter, Bob’s precise digging of trenches for piping to my propane tanks, and repairs to my lake-side patio. You’re all here when I need you!

I know there are many staff members behind the scenes who contribute to the service I am receiving year-round, but I must give a big shout out to Annie, who always manages to sort out and understand my often confusing requests, and schedule the right solutions.
Annie, you make things happen! Thank you.

And to you, Dave, once again …..
Thank you!

Dave's Landscaping is Amazing! Kyle is very easy to work with. Very knowledgeable, he had lots of ideas on how to make my vision become a reality. He was never pushy; I felt like we were a team. And the men who were assigned to my project were very diligent about completing the work. Plus, they did it with a smile. All were friendly and approachable. The one glitch we had was resolved quickly and to my satisfaction. The end result is, I have a beautiful garden in my front yard. I am very pleased and will use them again in the spring (for a tree and some shrubs).

Dave's is our go-to Landscaping company. The crews are professional and always do such a nice job. Attention to detail is high on their list. Fall clean ups are especially meticulous! I'd recommend them to anyone!

I have used Dave;s Landscaping over the past 10 years for placing crushed stone around my above ground pool to trimming trees and Lawn maintenance. I currently use Dave's for Lawn Maintenance and mulching. From the president Dave Rykbost down to all the workers of this company are very friendly and pay attention to detail like it was their own lawn. Dave's is reasonably priced and one of the best managed companies in the business. I highly recommend Dave's landscaping.

I have used Dave's Landscaping for the past 3 years for mowing my lawn in the summer and plowing my driveway in the winter. I have been very impressed with all of the staff: from the landscapers to the snowplow drivers to the office staff, everyone is helpful, considerate, and respectful. It has been easy to renew my year services and pay my bills - it's all handled online, and I get an email confirmation. I would highly recommend using Dave's Landscaping.

I have hired Dave’s Landscape for bark mulching, plating of new flowering plants and shrubs, and tree trimming. All the work was done professionally, on time, and within the estimate. Their staff is well trained, very courteous, and want to make sure that the job is done correctly the first time and to your satisfaction. I have also had the opportunity to work directly with Bob White who does the job site review and estimating. He does a great job in following up and will let you know immediately if something is not available. Annie Warren in customer service is very pleasant to work with and provides great customer service. Finally, Dave Rykbost the owner and founder follows up each job with a personal e-mail asking whether the job was done to your satisfaction and whether you have any additional feedback. Their work is guaranteed, and they do an excellent job in cleaning or restoring the job site to its original luster.

We could not be happier with the results of our landscape project. Dave's team are very professional, they provide excellent service and are extremely competent. Our project required the installation of four water sprinkler zones, the replacement of a drainage system, clearing and mulching along a large area of our backyard, turf removal from our front yard, sod installation and seeding a large section of our front lawn. They did excellent work on all fronts. They have all of the required equipment. They mulched the cleared area in our backyard by delivering the mulch using a chain of flexible hoses attached to a pump truck. Dave was very responsive to our needs as the project proceeded and his company completed the job on time. I highly recommend hiring Dave's Landscape Management for all of your future landscape requirements.

We had landscape work done by Dave's Landscape on Tuesday. The men worked very hard and did an excellent job. My yard looks beautiful.

Dave's tree guy, stump removal guy as well as the hard landscaping guys are very professional, experienced and they know what they are doing. Most of my projects were difficult but they came up with innovative solutions and got all of the work done in time with very high quality.
I am really impressed with Dave's landscape Management company . They are professional , reasonable and deliver high quality results.

They did a retaining wall, install lamp posts along my really long driveway , got rid of a whole bunch of trees and removed the stumps . I am really happy with how everything turned out to be. I RECOMMEND THEM VERY HIGHLY

I wish I could leave ZERO stars . . . I used Dave's for my elderly father in law's landscaping and snow removal for a few years. He did an adequate job and he charged (what I now know) to be a bit more than other landscapers (but that's not the issue.) This year, Dave decided to put in place a scheme whereby he charged me $75 a month (non recoverable) just to be "on-call" for when it snowed. Again, this money was not used as a "retainer" as such and applied to my bill, it was just a monthly fee to ensure he showed up when it snowed. I still had to pay any plowing fees on top of that. I promptly cancelled my service (as apparently did many other customers.) I asked around and not a single other plow guy does business like this. Again, this was done in the most underhanded, unscrupulous of ways (buried in a renewal contract for plowing.) Long story short, Dave's left an old man plowed in all winter while I scrambled to find a replacement (I used the shovler app) and his office (which evidently employs several people?) called me today looking to collect on my unpaid fees. That's the kind if business that Dave's runs.

Dave's team started a program on our lawn last summer which was rife with crabgrass. We had previously used two other landscape services which were ineffective because the crabgrass kept returning. Our lawn is now in the best condition in the 30 years we have lived here.

Dave’s Landscaping has been a pleasure to work with . We enjoyed the fact that on top of their Spring and Fall clean-ups they offer a gamut of services a la carte, it lets us decide how much we want to spend compared with what we want to do. Everyone in their teams was on time, attentive and pleasant. Any question or problem we had was answered efficiently with a phone call to their office.
We wish we could take Dave’s Landscaping with us in our move!

We couldn’t be happier with the service from Dave’s Landscaping and the mower/spring clean crew! From start to finish, they were incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Our lawn has never looked better—lush, clean, and perfectly maintained. The team truly went above and beyond to make sure everything looked amazing, taking extra care with the details that make a big difference. They even came back up to make sure all the gates were closed so our dogs didn’t run out. It’s clear they take pride in their work, and it shows. Highly recommend Dave’s Landscaping if you want your yard to look its absolute best!

I wish I could give Dave’s Landscape zero stars.

I rent a unit in a condo that has had the snow removal contract with this company for several years. They have been doing a lousy job all these years, I have never been happy with the quality of plowing, but at least it’s never been significantly delayed. In 2026, it got bad as never before. The second big snowstorm of this season ended yesterday. Dave’s sent us an email saying that the service will take up to 24 hours - which is unacceptable as our neighbours had their lot plowed several times during and after the snowstorm (they are lucky to have a contract not with Dave’s). Well, the storm ended at 7 PM yesterday, they showed up in the late afternoon for the first time to plow the entrance, then they kept rescheduling and finally showed up tonight at 8:30 PM to plow the lot.

The situation after the first storm was similar. It’s a joke. It’s affecting too many people. If you guys cannot deal with the volume of work, don’t sign up too many clients, it’s really that easy.

Hopefully the condo owners will change the company for the next year.

Jorge is very professional and helpful. He and his crew have done a great job with our landscaping and snow removal needs.

Jorge and his crew did a fantastic job designing a new bluestone patio. The installation was flawless and the guys couldn’t have been nicer.I would highly recommend Fresh Landscape and Masonry.

A GEM IN NEEDHAM!! I cannot speak more highly of Fresh Landscape and Masonry! Allow me to elaborate.
My family re-located from the south. New England way of living was not new to us but Boston was. The home we moved into needed some improvements. We serendipitously came upon Jorge and his crew as we would see their supply trucks on the busy streets in Needham. Once we got connected with Fresh Landscape and Masonry, we had several projects to tackle. The company offered their experience and expertise on what would and what would not work. We needed that input!! We were unaware of town regulations and permits but Fresh Landscape took care of that effortlessly. We were unaware of the options for materials but Fresh Landscape guided us with hands-on experience with suppliers…WE WENT TO THE SOURCE!! We handpicked bricks, rocks, flowers, plants, roofing, irrigation, paving. EVERYTHING. Fresh Landscape created an outdoor cook area that was customized based on what appliances we wanted. THEY SIMPLY MADE SURE IT MADE SENSE! Nothing was done half fast. And the great part, as the project evolved, we all adapted. It was a living, breathing project with proper adjustments as needed. Their expertise was vital and needed. More projects in the works and we are not looking anywhere else! A GEM IN NEEDHAM!!

Wanted to share and recommend the work that was completed in our home by Jorge Perez and the great team of fresh landscape and masonry. They were able to build two great looking retaining walls, added patio space and an outdoor kitchen. Very easy to communicate and address all of our needs. The crew was always on time and made the project manageable despite the amount of work completed. Give them a call for any or all of your landscaping needs.

Best company I ever worked with. Very professional they blew it out of the water. They take care of all of my lawn and they did an amazing walkway and fireplace at my house. I recommended it to anybody that wants excellent and honest service.

They came to my home and did an amazing patio job!!! They were very professional to communicate with their work was very professional beyond what I expected. I was beyond shocked with the result of the job. I am extremely happy with their work. I will definitely keep them in my contacts for future work in my home and I will refer them to close friends and family. If you are looking for beautiful and professional work, definitely reach out to Green leaves landscape you will not regret it!
