Alden Longfellow's Landscaping & Excavation says Alden Longfellow started it more than 35 years ago to help support his family, and its website lists Augusta, Farmingdale, Hallowell, Gardiner, Manchester and Winthrop as its service area. On Google it holds a 4.9-star average from 50 ratings. One recent customer asked them to improve a yard after a building extension. They built a garden in front of and behind the extension and built a low stone wall to enclose one of the gardens because the erosion from the work was bad. They also added a drainage pipe to resolve the drainage problem, then smoothed the lawn with fill, provided topsoil, hydroseeded and installed two large granite steps at the entryway. A recent customer said they keep calling the company for spring and fall cleanup, tree removal and planting perennials, and had uneven granite steps reset. In a 2025 review, a customer said Dan Longfellow re-graded a driveway with about 75 yards of reclaim, installed a lawn and a firepit, and had the project done in three days when the customer had expected well over a week. A 2025 customer said Jonny cleared, trimmed and weeded flower and rock gardens, and described a 2024 leaf clean-up late in the year by a team of three with leaf blowers and a leaf vacuum truck. A 2025 customer wrote that a retaining wall was done in 2.5 days after they walked through the process. In a 2022 review, a customer said Joe and Tyler spent a full day clearing invasive species, small trees and overgrown shrubs, then cleaned up garden beds and planted new shrubs. A 2022 customer said Dan Longfellow graded and fixed water issues around a barn and fixed drainage issues with a paddock area and a pond. A 2022 customer wrote that a job filling, grading and planting a lawn in a large area was completed ahead of schedule and below the estimated cost because less material was used. A 2022 customer said they used the company for landscaping, seasonal cleanups, plowing and salting. The company says on its website that it offers free estimates.
Really happy with the service. They were timely, polite, and did exactly what they said they would do.
We asked Longfellows to improve our yard after we finished a building extension. They came promptly when I called to provide an estimate, and while we had to wait a bit for the work to begin, they showed up when they told me they would. They built a garden in front and behind the extension, made suggestions for what to plant, built a low stone wall to enclose one of the gardens because the erosion from the work was bad as well as adding a drainage pipe to resolve the drainage problem. The plants they provided were substantial and healthy. After smoothing out the lawn with fill, they provided topsoil and hydro seeded, which worked great. They also provided two large granite steps installed for entryway. The workers themselves were very pleasant to have at our house. The office was readily available and quickly resolved our questions. Working with Alden Longfellows was a great experience!
There's a reason I continue to call Alden Longfellow's for spring and fall cleanup, tree removal, suggestions for landscaping, planting perennials, and I also had my granite steps reset which were uneven. Every person I've dealt with was professional, knowledgeable, and patient with my many questions. I'm extremely pleased with everything and already starting my list for next year!
We have worked with Alden Longfellow's Landscaping for a number of years...they are great to work with. They work with you to design a plan for your yardwork, lawncare, woods clean-up, and winter plowing. This can all be tailored to your needs and interests. The lead staff communicate well and work with you with great care for your yard and property, and the staff they have doing the work are all excellent, and very nice and kind to have around when they are working. They know their stuff about planting, shrubs, lawns, etc.and care a lot about looks and plant/shrub/lawn health. Highly recommended!!
Very talented staff, they know their stuff. Karen is especially helpful. I had been wanting to put in a paver patio for the longest time but it was out of my budget. For 3 years, my backyard has been unusable. So I opted for this simple gravel. At first, I was not confident that it would look as good as he said it would; but it did. After the dust settled and a few rains, it catches the light beautifully, is easy to walk on, and really makes the place look great. My little oasis is finally coming to life. Next spring, I'm hoping to add the finishing landscaping touches with Longfellow's help!
