Blake Landscaping Co.

Blake Landscaping is a one-man operation out of Arlington, MA — Jared runs it himself, taking on lawn maintenance, bush trimming, fertilizing, edging, plantings, mowing, and seasonal clean-ups across Arlington, Belmont, Waltham, Newton, Winchester, Woburn, Medford, Stoneham, Lexington, Billerica, and Burlington, by his own account. Two years of Google reviews turn up the same story on repeat: quick to answer, straightforward about what a job will cost and take, and careful enough with the details — edging lines, plant choices, a tidy cleanup — that people ask him back season after season. Twenty reviews, nearly all five stars, and not one turns up a real complaint about the work itself. The most recent review, from this spring, keeps the pattern going: on time, trusted, recommended without qualification. What that history doesn't show yet is much 2026 volume — just the one dated review so far this year, against a cluster from mid-to-late 2025. That's not a red flag on its own for a small owner-run outfit, but it's worth confirming he's still taking on new yards at the pace those two dozen ratings suggest before counting on a fast start date. For routine seasonal work — mowing, edging, a clean-up, a planting bed refreshed — Blake Landscaping reads as a straightforward, personally-handled call: the person who quotes the job is the one doing it. Confirm current availability and get the scope in writing for anything beyond routine maintenance, since the reviews say little about how larger design-build projects get priced or scheduled.
