"DO NOT HIRE. If you're looking for a misogynist old man to tell you he did his job when he didn't hire Cowen Associates. The worst customer service I have ever experienced. Fred, the owner refused to give me measurements that he claims were written in his drawing and then called me to tell me it's not his job to give me the measurements. He charged me $200 per hour to then tell me I shouldn't be the general contractor on my own job and that I don't know anything."

"Amazing! Lee is a pleasure to work with and is super diligent about his efforts. He took hours to walk our yard and woods to find and treat all poison ivy on the ground and in the trees (we have a big property and had a lot). Lee found it all and then on his return trip to ensure all is eliminated he treated anything new or if he had missed any. We're happy to say its all gone now and we couldn't be happier. Thanks Lee for being diligent and being very careful about treating just the plants and vines so as not to harm anything else. Thanks so much!!!"

Kent Blades has been in the excavation business since 1969. Kent operates the equipment and over sees the work. Kent Blades Excavating Inc. has 1-2 employees, depending on the job. Kent Blades Excavating Inc. is fully licensed and insured
"Unfortunately, I did not get the job done at all. Actually, not only did he abandon the work but did not even finish what he had started, and that cost me an extra $2,900. Like one of the reviewer's comments, I was fooled into engaging him because he appeared honest and sincere for a man of his age and stated 56 years of experience. That's a complete opposite is what this man is. I would not touch him with a pole the length of a mile. I would rate him a star only because I have to rate him."

J&J Landscaping and Irrigation has been beautifying communities in eastern Massachusetts for twenty years. From our humble beginnings working out of a compact pickup truck to present day, J&J has always stuck to its core values: honesty, straightforward estimates, knowledgeable and caring employees, fair pricing, and above all top-notch quality and unquestionable results.
"We were referred to J&J by our landscape architect, who promised that this company is exceptionally detailed, very client-focused, and above all, quite nice. We were also told that J&J has a particular devotion to clients, in that they make projects as personalized as possible to ensure that the client is content and that the plants grow. Our project involved planting at least a dozen large-ish trees and hundreds of perennials and shrubs on our lot. On planting day, there were at least fifteen highly professional landscapers who sited the plants, dug the planting holes so that there would be both a berm around them and a slight depression to optimize watering, and then watered everything. It took almost the entire day to do this, and afterwards, our yard was transformed. The folks at J&J have come back to review their work over the last two years and have provided guidance on watering, pruning, and yard care to us on each visit. They are really exceptional."
