Verified record
Bcg Landscaping & Contracting is a Waltham, Massachusetts business run by sole proprietor Brian C. Gargone, seven years in business per its BBB profile, which also gives the company an A+ rating (the business is not BBB-accredited). On Thumbtack, the company carries a 4.6-star average from 52 ratings and shows 374 completed projects, self-reporting a wide range of work beyond lawn care and landscaping — gardening, sod installation, tree stump removal, junk removal, demolition, general contracting, and handyman jobs. The dated written record backs up that range of work. In a 2023 review, a homeowner said Brian was the first contractor to call and show up for an estimate, beat two other quotes on price while offering more services, and called the finished work superb, with a clean, friendly crew. In a 2022 review, a customer described Brian and his crew arriving on short notice to clear saplings, leaves, and waist-high weeds, move a garden box, and spread fresh compost. A 2021 review described Brian digging a trench quickly to run electrical wiring to an above-ground pool, and another from the same year said he responded to a job posting within 15 minutes and arrived to do the work 15 minutes after confirming, completing a snow-clearing job with meticulous detail. Before booking, it's worth knowing that Thumbtack's own rating breakdown shows a meaningful minority, about 12% of its 52 ratings, land at one or two stars, even though every review quoted here is strongly positive and dated between 2020 and 2023 rather than reflecting anything more recent. For a landscaping company that also handles cleanup, snow removal, and a broad range of handyman-style work in the Waltham area, the responsiveness and hands-on detail described across several dated reviews are the strongest signal here — just ask what specific service you need, since this is a wide-ranging operation.

Brian was the first to call and first to show up for the estimate. He was on time and professional. His estimate was lower than 2 other contractors and he offered more services than they did. The work was superb and his team was clean and friendly.
Brian and his crew came short notice to tackle an over due clean up. We had a few saplings taken out, a bunch of leaves, three feet high weeds, a garden box moved, and then had a lovely batch of compost spread out. I should have taken before pictures. The best I have is one from last year. Definitely recommend them for a cleanup, this autumn I’m going to utilize their services for some heavier end of season work that I cannot tackle solo.
Brian responded very quickly and got the job done as asked. We needed to get a trench dug quickly for electrical wiring to our above ground pool and Brian did a great job.
Brian responded to my task within 15 minutes of my posting and he showed up to do the work 15 minutes after we confirmed. He got the job done with meticulous detail. I can finally get ahead of all this snow!
Brian is great. He fixed my problem creatively and saved me a ton so that I didn't have to replace a pricey part. Will have him back again if we need repairs on other things.
