The rest of the negative reviews here and other places pretty much speak for themselves. If you want to pay top dollar this is the place.

Their lawn mower is way too loud and annoying. It is a disturbance for the neighbors and usually they come during the afternoon which is particularly irritating.

Report
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?
