Alex Landscaping

Alex Landscaping is a one-owner outfit — the company is named for its founder, Alex — working out of Norwood, Massachusetts, with a stated service area reaching Westwood, Newton Highlands, Foxborough, Stoughton and Needham. The work leans toward the calls a homeowner makes without much notice: mulching, edging, weeding, sod, seasonal cleanup, and tree trimming or removal. The most detailed accounts describe a crew that shows up fast and finishes what it starts. In a 2023 review, a homeowner described a full front-yard overhaul — a new walkway, regrading, fresh sod and cobblestone edging — and called the crew responsive and prompt. A 2017 review recounts an arborvitae that fell across a driveway during a snowstorm; Alex removed it the very next day after another landscaper was too busy to help. A 2019 review of a yard cleanup called the crew hardworking with close attention to detail, and a 2024 HomeAdvisor review praised a reasonable quote, on-time arrival and a full cleanup after trimming shrubs and trees. On HomeAdvisor, where the deepest third-party record sits, Alex Landscaping holds 4.9 stars across 41 ratings, with 90% five-star. Google reviews echo the same theme — responsive, on time, clean work — though one May 2026 review left only a single line of dissatisfaction with no specifics to go on. A few things are worth asking about before booking. The company's own materials don't agree on how long it's been around: its website claims 16 years of industry experience while also saying it began operating in Norwood in 2022, Angi's profile lists 9 years, and a separate HomeAdvisor listing lists 20 — worth clarifying directly. The site also describes itself as a 'Certified' and 'Licensed Landscaping Contractor,' but that's the company's own description rather than something verified against a state registry. For yard cleanups, seasonal maintenance, and small hardscape projects like walkways and edging, the written record — thin as it is — points to a crew that responds quickly and does what it says it will.
