Reviews of local pros in Wakefield, Massachusetts

I was referred to Velvet Green after I had my lot excavated, re-graded and a new lawn installed in the Fall of 2022. After speaking with Michael in the Spring of 2023, there was no hesitation on my part to sign up for their services. Velvet green being all organic was a huge factor for me. Mostly, though it was because Michael was so informative, knowledgeable about what my lawn needed to get established and happily explained the detailed plan for how we would go about doing so. They began with a soil test and then went on to do the treatments in the Spring of 2023. At that point, the lawn was struggling, a lot of bare spots and I was so disappointed with the installation of the lawn (not done by Velvet Green). Michael assured me that Velvet Green would be able to transform my lawn into something we both would be proud of. He also explained that it takes a few years to establish a new lawn. Well, it has been only 5 months, and the lawn looks AMAZING. All the bare spots have filled in, it is lush and green. So much so that you want to go out and lay on it! I would also like to point out the excellent customer service Michael and the team provides - every call is returned in a timely fashion and when treatments do not coordinate with my lawn cutting schedule Velvet Green does their best to accommodate where and when they can. When I am out watering (a part time job as I don't have irrigation yet) my neighbors stop and admire the lawn along with me. I am so happy I found Velvet Green and can only imagine, with their guidance and services, what the lawn will look like in 2024! Thank you Velvet Green!

My lawn is night and day better since Velvet Green started their work at the beginning of this season. Not only do they provide a ton of useful info on their website and youtube channel, but they do a wonderful job of communicating every step of the process. They send emails letting you know when they'll be arriving and then follow up reports with their assessment of your lawn post-treatment. 5/5.

UPDATE: after three consecutive seasons using Velvet Green our lawn is thick and green even after a summer of sparse rain. See the third season photo.
My husband and I are so pleased with the service and the results we’ve seen in our lawn. In May 2022, Velvet Green began taking care of our lawn. Their people are knowledgeable and professional.
Take a look at the results—after a summer drought during which we mostly watered using collected rainwater! UPDATE. See photo from November 2024 after third season.

Jaime at Velvet Green came and aerated, seeded, and top dressed my lawn. They were very efficient and wasted no time getting their work completed and left the place looking great! I had recently purchased my own grass seed and they had no problem putting it down for me with absolutely no pressure for me to use their seed. GREAT EXPERIENCE, would highly recommend! They are also super communicative with email and text notifications several days prior to the appointment. Great work guys!

So grateful to have Velvet Green bring our lawn back to life! After years of do-it-yourself attempts with lackluster results, I called Velvet Green and have been beyond impressed with not only the improvement in our lawn but also the high-quality customer service. The team there is very knowledgeable, reasonable (no pressure/upselling), and helpful. Always willing to answer questions and provide useful tips, aiming for long term results. Online videos are a bonus, great reference for owner's side of lawn care. Before photos are May, after photos are July. Lawn has never looked better - highly recommend!!

I recently chose Velvet Green Organic Lawn Care because I wanted a safe, organic environment for my two young children, who love playing outside as the weather gets warmer. Their team was wonderful from the very beginning—they were prompt, professional, and always ready to answer my questions with clear, helpful explanations about their organic lawn care process.

The difference in my lawn has been remarkable. It’s now vibrant, healthy, and thick—proof of just how well their treatments work!

If you’re searching for a lawn care company that cares about quality and customer happiness, I can’t recommend Velvet Green Organic Lawn Care enough. They’ve made a loyal customer out of me!

Have been using Romero for a few years for lawn maintenance and a few other projects such as a new retaining wall. They do good work and the owner, Edgar Romero, is responsive and very easy to deal with.

Edgar and his team did a great fall cleanup for my home, including privet and dogwood trimming, removing crabgrass around flagstones in patio and in front of house and general cleanup of leaves and sticks. Edgar is very courteous and professional and the price was reasonable. I am talking with him regarding other projects around my home for the future. I do recommend Romero Landscaping and Construction.

Solution Landscaping is absolutely spectacular from beginning to end!
I’m so impressed. I have not found this kind of commitment in this business to date. Solution landscaping excels!
The communication is same day replies. They reply very quickly every single time! They show up on time and when they say they will! The prices are fair and the job is stellar. We recently used them to place our house on the market. The outside needed significant work and they took on the project with next to no notice. ( with only about one week to get it done and they DID)
The powerwashed, landscaped, mulched and edged, cut back bushes and took away clippings.
Additionally, they panted our shed and deck! The are the “unicorn” of the business and we will absolutely be contacting Solution Landscaping in the future once we move into on our new house!!

They are amazing! Always helpful, kind, and hard workers! Hire them for all my outdoor needs - power washing, weeding, lawn cutting, planting, etc!

Fantastic service, awesome work, and very nice family owned business! Very pleased with their work

So easy to communicate with and responsive to scheduling. The crew is hard-working, efficient and meticulous in their attention to detail. Great business to work with!

I was looking for a good landscaper for a long time and this summer I found this landscaper and they are great on time and friendly

I bumped into the crew while they were on another job, and asked if they could give me a quote to winterize our sprinkler system. Instead he asked what competing quotes I already had. As I didn't have any, he asked me to text me the request along with address which I did the following day (Saturday, 9/30). By Monday, 10/2, afternoon I had not heard back so I called them. Hung up on first call. 2nd call he asked to text my address (again) which I did, and he said he would swing by the following day and then provide a quote. Didn't happen. Monday, 10/9 he asked how many zones we had and then finally a quote ($200) which was 2.35x more than the service I ended up with.

I had a job done early this week by solution landscaping. They gave my lawn the care that it needed and I'm very thankful for them. Very punctual, hard working crew! Would highly recommend!

Esdras and crew were great!! They did a spring cleanup for us and cleaned up all the rocks from the addition that we had. Strongly recommended them.

We recently hired Solution Landscaping to do some work at our home in North Reading after asking for recommendations on our community Facebook page.Their service was prompt and fairly priced and the work was excellent! We will definitely be using them in the future and have already recommended them to some friends. Thank you!

I contacted Solution Landscape and many other companies for an estimate on a walkway, having loom put down and sod and general landscape work by far SOLUTION LANDSCAPE was the BEST choice. Esdras and his team came over and did everything I wanted done and than some. They were fast, professional, cleaned up after themselves and very nice group. And they did a BEAUTIFUL JOB!! I will be using them again for any future projects. I would definitely recommend SOLUTION LANDSCAPE to everyone.
Thank you Again for all your hard work.

My family and myself looked for a landscaping company who could not only clean up our yard but also provide services for curb appeal.
We contacted Solution Landscaping and not only were we impressed with the knowledge Esdras had about what type of plants would work but also how cost efficient they are. They came to our house and were polite, professional and answered any questions we had.
If you are looking for a landscaper/Design team I would look no further.

Thank you to Esdras, his son, and their team for breathing new life into my yard! Esdras came right out the day I inquired about a quote for a very large spring clean up job. It included removing 10 years worth of piled up leaves, brush and assorted fallen branches. Esdras and his team of three showed up at exactly the time they said they would be there, and worked tirelessly all day. I mean they really put their muscle behind it at a pace I couldn’t believe! The crew was thoughtful, polite and went completely out of their way to make sure I was happy with the results.
I highly recommend this landscaping crew, and will be using them again in the near future. They are highly skilled, priced fairly, hard working, and probably the most polite and eager to please landscaping team I’ve ever come across.

Thank you , Esdras and team, for transforming my yard from chaos into serenity!

Highly recommended. My yard had been neglected and overgrown. They came in and completely transformed it and got it to a place where I am able to manage it.
