This winter has been a fierce one and we are so grateful for John's Landscape for all of their help. They are very friendly, always on time and simply get the job done. We are so pleased with our new patio and the experience with John's Landscape was great. From start to finish working with them was an absolute pleasure and we plan to use them more.
The cold weather is still upon us and it is possible that we may see some snow and ice in our near future. Spring storms can be particularly hazardous to evergreen trees and shrubs, but there are several ways to protect these important assets in the garden. Although snow laden trees can look picturesque serious damage may occur due to heavy snow or ice accumulation on branches.
Conifers, such as spruce, fir, hemlock, pine and juniper are wonderful accents in the landscape that can add structure and create the framework for a garden. In addition to evergreens, there are many note-worthy trees and shrubs that you can consider adding to your garden for seasonal interest. Three characteristics that can really capture your attention in the winter garden are interesting bark, unusual structure or shape and persistent fruit.

This landscaping company regularly comes to Cambridge and uses multiple loud tools on a single property for over an hour at a time in the mornings and afternoons. The fumes and dust they kick up with their leaf blowers is awful. We have complained to the company and to the residents, but that's what you get for caring about yourself more than others. Stop using leaf blowers on these small properties when you know you have a lot of neighbors. Where is your common courtesy and thoughtfulness for the environment?

One of their drivers hit my vehicle and kept driving. They were driving too fast on a narrow and windy road and driving over the median lane. The trailer took out my rear view mirror. I had to follow the truck for about 10 minutes before they pulled over. The supervisor came out and accused me of making it up. I felt the whole interaction was very dishonest and unethical.
I cannot speak to the quality of their work, but based on this interaction, I would question the company's honesty and ethics.

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!

Worst landscapers I have ever dealt with.. asked them repeatedly to not block our driveway while working or to pull down our driveway as it widens at the end so we and the other residents in our house can access driveway .. they continued do the opposite.. came home with my infant and full car of groceries to them blocking me out with no safe place to park .. after 20 mins of looking for the driver , honking and calling the company phone with no response I got frustrated when I finally found the guy way back in a huge yard .. he gave me a hard time immediately and was rude when I asked him to not

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

We used John's Landscaping Service for a substantial project at our home in Belmont which entailed stonework, landscaping, irrigation, some carpentry, lighting, tree trimming, paving, and wrought iron railing work. We are extremely happy with the final product and with the entire process. John's network of contractors and employees are professional - they show up when the say they will, are courteous and careful, and collaborative in solving problems. His designers and project managers, Lisa and Chip, understood the look we wanted, and with their experience and skill, helped us achieve

Two years ago John's Landscaping created a beautiful garden for me. Their service was excellent. During the winter a representative came and planned. Before spring, the plans were presented for my approval. They came exactly when they said they would---in time for my garden party---and did a superb job. Everyone was prompt, respectful, hard-working, and took great care in the quality of the service. Now two years later, all the plants are thriving and my garden looks gorgeous. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Never a bad moment.

JLS did another stellar job for us. It is rare to find a company that places finding solutions for their customers over everything else. His design team was available and responsive throughout our project handling every issue promptly. I have used his maintenance team and have always received compliments from our guests. My property has become a cornerstone for the neighborhood and John is now serving many of the houses in our area. I highly recommend JLS without reservation.

John has built a team of hard-working, honest and talented people. They have done simple cleanups for me and also completely redesigned my backyard. I recommend them to anyone in our area that is thinking of doing work on their yard. Fair prices, personal inspections from John and a nice group of people to work with.

We hired John's Landscape to mow our lawn one season. John had promised "the highest level of service and professionalism" but we got the opposite. I called one day to say that I was unhappy about how the lawn looked, they had missed several spots. They did return the next day and re-cut it and it looked fine. Then a week or two later, the same thing. I called again and they came out and re-cut it again. Then we had problems with the workers throwing their cigarette buts in the lawn as they worked. Overall the quality was terrible and when I complained, John called me and told me

In the Spring we had our garden beds mulched by John's Landscape. I had heard great reviews from neighbors who use their service, however, I was not very impressed by the attitude of the foreman on the day of service. He was very unpleasant and had the attitude that he just wanted to do the job and get out of there-maybe he had a bad night. I have to compliment his team though, they did the job and seemed much more pleasant then their manager that day. Overall, they did a good job but based on attitude of the foreman alone-I dont know that I would pay for their service again.
