“Alex and crew came as scheduled and did exactly what was agreed upon.”
Alex and crew came as scheduled and did exactly what was agreed upon. Unfortunately that’s not the way it goes now days when you hire a contractor. Told Alex make sure to call in spring. If you are looking to hire a great company to do your grounds work. Call Alex.

So happy I found this company to plow our driveway after a recent storm when our snowblower broke and everybody else was either booked, or over promised and no showed! Alex is very professional and courteous and showed up when he said he would to dig us out! He was honest about timing and availability for future plows and that is all we ask for.

“We just hired Alex for a Fall cleanup.”
We just hired Alex for a Fall cleanup. His service was superior. He takes and returns calls on a near immediate basis. He explains the project scope and pricing in a clear and concise manner. He overperformed by showing sooner than estimated and finishing the project quick and professional. We definitely plan on using Alex on projects in the future.

“i’d tried pushing my mom‘s gas mower from her house to mine uphill four blocks after mowing her...”
i’d tried pushing my mom‘s gas mower from her house to mine uphill four blocks after mowing her lawn and that wore me out before I ever got to my lawn. Then it had to go back again. I’d always mowed my lawn in the Boston area but hired the neighbor boys down the street until they got too busy with sports the BHS marching band. My neighbor suggested Alex and he’s not only been mowing and blowing our hardscapes and street clean but carefully reattaching downspouts as needed at Mom’s and helping out by creating and mulching leaf piles near me as I gather and bag from locations I must. My three story sugar maple keeps us all busy!
