Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Ahlgren Landscaping is a Plainville landscaper whose work runs from mowing and mulch to snow plowing. The company says it has been in business 22 years, and its website lists a service area that includes Avon, Bristol, Farmington, Hartford, Simsbury and Enfield. A 2025 customer said Chris came out to view their property, gave a quote they called fair, and had his crew begin mowing and trimming immediately. A 2024 customer recovering from shoulder surgery needed a 300-foot driveway plowed and salted, and said Chris came by the next morning. A 2022 customer who ordered 20 yards of mulch spread said they kept it off the flowers and hand-spread it underneath them and the shrubbery. A 2023 customer said the company took care of their condo complex, from lawn care to snow plowing. A 2025 customer wrote that the company started mowing beside their freshly coated truck without asking them to move it, and threw wet grass, dirt and rocks on its side. A 2025 reviewer wrote that, under a contract to clear a lot after snowfall, a tenant was told Chris would be back at 1pm, he never showed, and an employee was sent at 6pm only to shovel. That 2025 reviewer said tenants fell on the ice. On Google the company holds 4.3 stars from 29 ratings, and its BBB grade is A+. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0625226, held by Ahlgren Landscaping LLC, as inactive due to non-renewal of the credential. **Strengths:** - Careful mulch spreading — a 2022 customer said they hand-spread under the flowers - Next-morning plowing — a 2024 customer said Chris came by the next morning - A fair quote — a 2025 customer said Chris gave a fair mowing quote **Concerns:** - Missed snow return — a 2025 reviewer said Chris never came back at 1pm - Mowing debris — a 2025 customer said grass and rocks hit their truck ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Based in Plainville _(confidence: medium)_ - [Local News](https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/who-has-to-shovel-sidewalks-connecticut-fines-21311023.php) — “ctinsider.com — Nate Rollins, a worker for Plainville based Ahlgren Landscaping, clears the walk in front of South Church as snow falls in d…” - Says it has been in business 22 years _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://ahlgrenlandscaping.com) — “Self-reported 22 years in business” - Lists a service area including Avon, Bristol, Farmington, Hartford, Simsbury and Enfield _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://ahlgrenlandscaping.com) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Avon, Burlington, Cheshire, Farmington, New Britain, Southington, Plainville, Hartford, Bristol, West H…” - A 2025 customer said Chris viewed the property, gave a fair quote and had his crew begin mowing and trimming immediately _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT214MVMxUklRa1p0YkZoU01IQkVabkJSZUVoT1YxRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xbd09b08985e6736f!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOmx1S1RIQkZtbFhSMHBEZnBReEhOV1E%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ We have had Ahlgren Landscaping mowing and trimming our difficult property for two years.
