BAYSTATE LAWN & LANDSCAPE

Baystate Lawn & Landscape Company has been operating in Dedham for a while — its BBB profile puts the company at 37 years in business, dating back to 1989, though it isn't BBB accredited. On Google, the company holds an overall rating of 3.4 out of 5 from eight ratings. The one written review captured here, though, is sharply negative: a 2023 customer complained that whoever was driving one of the company's trucks tailgated them at the speed limit, then passed well above it, calling it unprofessional for a company vehicle. That single account doesn't line up with the broader 3.4-star average, so it reads more like one bad experience than a pattern — but it's a fair thing to ask about, especially crew conduct on the road. For homeowners weighing a landscaping company with decades of history in the area, Baystate is worth a call — just raise the incident above and get the scope of work in writing before booking.
