BlackRock did an outstanding job cleaning up our property. From leaf removal and cleanup to trimming our rose bushes and shrubs. It looks great. Could not be more pleased. Highly professional, clear estimate with detailed explanations of what they were going to do. Top notch all the way!

A big spring cleanup because fall cleanup was not finished. My property looks amazing. I’m looking forward to working with BlackRock this summer.

Alex’s Landscaping provided complete lawn maintenance for me, including mowing, edging, weeding, trimming, spring clean-up.
Alex was very responsive to my needs, communicated well and returned calls promptly.

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. 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 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!

We appreciated the quick responses received from Alex before, during and after project completion. He was very professional and informative throughout the process. We are very happy we could get on the schedule quickly for the excavation of the garden beds around the foundation of our home. The river rock color palette chosen works extremely well and adds a beautiful effect along the foundation of our property with its varying shades of color. After getting a quick rain, we can't wait to see the full wet look of the river rock because we can already tell the colors will be even more spectacular.

This young fellow is a great communicator and I wasn’t left wondering when he would arrive. He hustles and did a great job. For me, trimming is the most tedious work and Alex is an artist with the trimmer. My grass is dense and the first cutting could have been left like a hay field. But it was left in immaculate shape. Thank you for the pride you take in your work.
