Cambridge Landscape

Cambridge Landscape Company is a Cambridge-based full-service landscaper — maintenance, design/construction, tree care, irrigation, and snow removal — that says it started in 1979 from a single truck and lawnmower and has grown into a Sperber Landscape Companies division after an October 2024 acquisition. It says it serves Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, Arlington, Lexington, Belmont, Watertown, Waltham, Wellesley and Winchester. The finished jobs read well: a 2025 review describes a tree cut down, chipped and cleaned up in under 20 minutes at a reasonable price, and a 2022 account describes a tree removal that left no damage to the surrounding plants. But alongside that sits a persistent pattern — six separate 1-star reviews spanning 2021 through 2023 describe reckless or aggressive driving by company trucks encountered on the road: tailgating, brake-checking, and parking on sidewalks and bike lanes. None of those reviewers say they actually hired the crew. Two things worth asking about before booking. A May 2026 review describes a tree-trimming job left unfinished for months, with payment demands still arriving as of that review, and a separate April 2026 review says pricing rose and the small-company feel is gone since the October 2024 sale to Sperber. Older reviews, from 2023 and 2024, also describe trouble getting a callback or a firm schedule confirmed. For a straightforward tree-removal or landscaping job the completed work reads solidly, but get a firm start date and payment terms in writing before signing, and treat the driving complaints as a separate issue from the quality of work performed.
