## The honest read

Recent homeowners describe CG Landscape Design’s work on stairs, walkways, retaining walls, patios, and yard renovations, while one recent Angi review alleges abusive conduct and threats. The company is based in Northborough and presents landscaping and hardscaping as its work; its website says Carlos Gomes founded the business and describes more than 30 years of industry experience, though the directory profiles report 11 years in business.

The positive reviews are often specific. In July 2026, a homeowner said a new set of side stairs was completed in one day with efficient, meticulous work, and another described an overgrown walkway being transformed within two days. A June 2026 review describes a railroad-tie retaining-wall replacement completed in two days. Older reviews mention stone walls, granite steps, paver walkways, patios, lawn care, cleanups, and seasonal property maintenance. Google lists 4.8 stars from 42 ratings; Angi and HomeAdvisor each list 4.8 from 90 ratings.

There are important accounts to ask about before booking. An Angi reviewer in July 2026 wrote that Carlos was abusive and threatening. A Google reviewer in April 2025 alleged that a subcontractor damaged a driveway, that the company declined responsibility, and that a certificate of insurance was refused; the company’s response is not shown here. A separate April 2025 review says a website service-area statement did not match a call about Fitchburg. An undated BBB review alleges a $29,000 job was left needing repairs and that calls and texts were not returned.

CG Landscape Design fits homeowners seeking landscape maintenance or hardscape construction such as walls, stairs, walkways, patios, and yard work. Before signing, confirm who will perform subcontracted work, the insurance certificate, the exact service area, repair obligations, and how complaints will be handled.

**Strengths:**
- Retaining walls — recent reviews describe specific two-day replacements
- Stairs and walkways — homeowners cite fast, detailed installations
- Seasonal maintenance — reviews describe recurring property care

**Concerns:**
- Recent conduct allegation — July 2026 review alleges threats and abuse
- Subcontractor dispute — 2025 review alleges driveway damage and insurance refusal
- Repair follow-through — BBB review alleges unanswered repair requests
