It holds 4.2 stars from 32 ratings on Google and an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. Its website lists landscape design, maintenance, snow removal, drainage, tree and shrub pruning, spring and fall cleanups and dumpster service. A recent customer said the company landscaped the front of their home, listened to what they wanted and charged a reasonable price. A 2026 customer, who named the owner as Chris Barretta, wrote that after a heavy snowfall cut their power, Chris showed up with a full gas can and a can of oil even though the roads were barely passable, and got their generator going. A 2025 customer wrote that Chris came out quickly for a consultation on a tree removal, that the team left the area cleaned up, and that Chris replaced the tree with a selection of plants. In 2025, a customer said a fallen tree blocking their driveway was chopped away the same day. A 2025 customer said Chris Barretta developed a solution for a front yard stream issue. A 2025 customer said a rented dumpster was delivered on time and picked up quickly. A 2024 customer said a 12-yard dumpster hit their page fence in two places as it was backed into the driveway, and that the repair used rusted wire in two places and left the smaller tear untouched. The same 2024 customer wrote that the company then said it could not have caused the damage. **Strengths:** - Front yard landscaping — a recent customer cited a reasonable price - Generator help — a 2026 customer said Chris got their generator going - Same-day tree clearing — a 2025 customer said a fallen tree was chopped away **Concerns:** - Dumpster fence damage — a 2024 customer said the repair used rusted wire ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - The company says it has been in business 44 years _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://barrettas.com) — “Self-reported 44 years in business” - The company names Derby as its service area _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://barrettas.com) — “Stated service area (self-reported): Derby” - 4.2 stars from 32 ratings on Google _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Barretta%20Gardens%20%26%20Landscape&query_place_id=ChIJu-vMadjf54kRiATMaupVNZk) — “Google: 4.2★ from 32 ratings” - A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/derby/profile/plant-nursery/barretta-landscape-gardens-0111-17003093) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - The website lists landscape design, maintenance, snow removal, drainage, pruning, seasonal cleanups and dumpster service _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://barrettas.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Landscape Services Design Maintenance Snow Removal Construction & Masonry Drainage Individualized Lawn Fert…” - A recent customer said the company landscaped the front of their home, listened and charged a reasonable price _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25oSlQxWk9ORTkwVFRkNU0xbGZRWFJFV2tweVQyYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x993555ea6acc0488!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnhJT1ZONE90TTd5M1lfQXREWkpyT2c%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ Excellent job on landscaping the front of our home.
