## The honest read

Augusta is a Sandwich-based lawn care and landscaping company that Cape homeowners hire for everything from a weekly mow to a full-scale drainage fix — reviewers consistently praise individual crew members like Jeff, Mike, Nick and Jay by name for showing up and working hard through a full day. But the company's billing and scheduling practices come up as a recurring sore point across several recent reviews, and that pattern is worth knowing about before signing on.

The track record runs to 94 reviews from 2022 through 2026 across five sources, mostly positive, describing a crew that does thorough, physical work — cleaning out overgrown beds, mulching, edging, and staying on a property for a full day without a break. In a May 2026 review, a customer described a full lawn renovation and sod installation, with the crew offering design suggestions that improved on the customer's own plan. In an October 2023 review, another described calling about a backyard drainage problem and having a plan for two retaining walls and stairs, plus a quote, within a couple of days.

Several recent reviews describe billing surprises. In an August 2026 review, a customer said they were charged double for their first lawn cut without being told upfront, and were pointed to fine print in the quote when they asked. In an August 2025 review, a customer expected a five-treatment lawn program for a total of $645 and was instead billed $645 per application. In a February 2026 review, a customer said snow plowing cost $585 across three visits and the mailbox area they had specifically asked to be cleared never was. Scheduling has also drawn complaints: a separate February 2026 review described a no-show for an appointment followed by a cancellation the next day with no flexibility, and a May 2026 review said an initial quote didn't cover the scope of the job requested.

For routine mowing, bed cleanup, mulching and larger landscape projects, Augusta's crews get consistent, specific praise for the actual work. Given the repeated billing and scheduling complaints, it's worth getting exact per-visit and per-application pricing in writing before agreeing to any recurring service, treatment plan, or snow removal contract.

**Strengths:**
- Hard-working crews — named techs praised for full-day, thorough work
- Handles big projects — drainage fixes, retaining walls, lawn renovations
- Fast project quotes — plans and pricing often turned around in days

**Concerns:**
- Billing surprises — multiple reviews cite undisclosed or per-application charges
- Snow plowing overbilling — one review cited $585 without full requested scope
- Scheduling misses — a no-show and next-day cancellation reported
- Quote mismatches — one review said the estimate didn't cover the job
