Capone Landscape is a Wakefield lawn-care and landscaping company now in its third generation — the family says grandfather Ambrose Capone started it in 1946 with a push mower, hand clippers, a rake and a barrel after emigrating from Italy, and Frank Capone Jr. has run it since 2001, servicing more than 400 properties around town. Today the work is mostly lawn maintenance and cleanups, plus mulching, fertilization and aeration, organic mosquito and tick control, hydroseeding, and dumpster rental. The written reviews return to the same specific complaint twice, five years apart. In 2021, a customer whose grandparents had used Capone for years said the grass always got mowed but overgrown front hedges went untrimmed for a second straight summer despite repeated calls, with the company citing a rotation for that particular service. A June 2026 review describes a similar wait — weeks for a fall hedge trim while watching the crew service neighbors' yards repeatedly in the meantime, a delay the reviewer partly attributes to bad fall weather — though they call the eventual 30-minute trim itself "decent." A third review, from May 2026, is a brief "outstanding service, highly recommend" with no specifics. Google shows 4.3 stars from 8 ratings, and BBB gives the company an A+. Worth asking directly how hedge trimming specifically gets scheduled relative to routine mowing before signing up, especially if that's part of what's needed.
I initially contacted Capone's because they service several of our neighbors' yards. In the Fall, I asked for a couple hedges to be trimmed. After several weeks, we finally got on the schedule-- I was understanding about the long wait given that it was a stretch of bad weather in the middle of Fall cleanup season, but it was disheartening to watch them come to service all of our neighbors several times in the meantime. When they finally came they did a decent job trimming (the whole job took about 30 minutes). But then, we contacted them in the Spring to perform some weeding and grass treatments. Twice they told me they would get me a quote within the week (we even had several scheduled visits, which never came to fruition). I followed up several times, and never once heard back about a quote. It took so long we finally went with someone else. I wish they had just been honest that they didn't have time to accommodate any more clients, I would have appreciated the respect for my time. If you get them to come, they seem to do a decent job, but good luck getting past a phone call, they don't appear to have time for new clients.
Outstanding service every visit. Highly recommend!
Capone has been cutting my grandparent's lawn for many years now and they do a decent job except for the hedges. This is the second summer where the grass gets mowed but nothing happens with overgrown hedges that are right at the front of the property. We call and they say they have a rotation for this service and will get to it when they can. But when we pay for them to keep the house looking neat and then the hedges look like this for a month + .... ? I can't give 5 / 5 stars. When I called this summer (twice) to ask about it, I got a call back to say that the owner was notified and they'd "do what they can". They also skipped mowing the lawn one week and it was so bad a neighbor of ours chipped in to cut the grass, but I was still charged for it -- no offer to refund.
