Cesar Landscape and Construction is a Marlborough landscape business with 4.6 stars on Thumbtack from 45 ratings. On Thumbtack, the business describes itself as "a full service landscape company with over eleven years of experience" and says it serves "Needham, Weston, Marlboro, MA and surrounding communities." Thumbtack lists it as a Top Pro (2017, 2016) and as background checked. In a 2016 Thumbtack review, a customer wrote that they hired "Ceasar" to rip out a bunch of old shrubs and plants from the front of the house, shorten the garden beds by adding loam and grass seed and re-edging, and plant new shrubs and mulch; that customer called the outcome "an excellent looking front yard." In a separate 2016 review, of mowing for just under an acre and trimming overgrown hedges, a customer wrote that the team did the work exactly as discussed and always arrived as scheduled. A 2018 customer, satisfied with "his work mowing our lawn," wrote: "Price is fair, does a great job, reliable, easy to contact via text messaging." In a 2015 review, a customer wrote that after the blizzard they called Cesar last minute about the back door access for the reviewer's aunt, and that he came right over, completed the walkway to her doorway and quoted a fair price. A separate 2015 review said the customer was very pleased with the prompt and friendly service Julio provided when they needed help plowing the driveway and pushing away "the 8 feet snow banks." In a 2020 Thumbtack review, a customer in a second season with Cesar wrote that seeding and fertilizing never happened despite being agreed on, that "Cesar's men cut my grass way too low," and that they found a bottle filled with urine left behind a wall at the home by an employee of Cesar's. That 2020 customer also wrote that Cesar offered to come over and fix it, and that they had to tell him 4 times not to come to the home. Another 2020 review said "the fence did not lineup and he refused to make it right." A 2019 customer who hired them one time wrote: "I found it expensive. I am not sure. i could be wrong."
horrible service provide, the fence did not lineup and he refused to make it right , he came with a lot excuse saying that it’s normal and fence it’s no a fancy thing, never ever will have this company step up Yard even to do a mowing the lawn,
I just started working my second season with Cesar and the work has gone completely downhill. On top of that, communication has been terrible, work that was agreed upon was not done and I found something left by an employee of Cesar's that was disgusting (a bottle filled with urine left behind a wall at my home). Last season I hired Cesar to mulch, do weekly mowing, dethatch, aerate, seed, and fertilize. Seeding and fertilizing never happened despite us originally agreeing on it, so now I'm not really sure what the purpose of dethatching and aerating my lawn was without the follow up steps to it. When I asked Cesar about it, I was told he wasn't fertilizing this year. This was the first I had heard of that. I guess I was supposed to keep asking about previously agreed upon work? Then there's how my lawn looks this year. It's absolutely terrible. Cesar's men cut my grass way too low despite even Cesar knowing better, but his employees clearly don't listen to him, or just start digging into your lawn with a weedwhacker. Given how much sun my lawn gets, it's now a mottled, brown and bare mess, where the greenest parts are the clover that is now taking over. My flower beds are filled with weeds and grass since they blow grass clippings into them, and not enough mulch was applied to prevent weeds properly. Except on one of my trees, which had so much mulch applied I had to fix it so the tree didn't have too much mulch around it. This is something any landscaper should know. So as I notice my yard is looking terrible, I decide to check my cameras to see what is going on in the very brief time they are here working on my home. This is when I see a man stop his work, look back at me sitting in my home to see if I'm paying attention, then proceed to go behind a wall. The next day when cleaning that area, I found a bottle of urine. This was the last straw and I told Cesar I wouldn't need his services anymore. He offered to come over and fix it but after finding the urine I was disgusted and just wanted to hire someone new and be done with it. Except I had to tell Cesar 4 times not to come to my home as he kept insisting on coming over and even said "I'm on my way". Look, it's bad enough to go through all of this, I shouldn't also have to be concerned that the person I fired is going to come to my home, during a pandemic, despite repeatedly asking to be left alone.
I found it expensive. I am not sure. i could be wrong . I hired them just for one time. The lawn grass was bit longer and it was raining.
One of the Best landscape company that I have found.
Cesar is terrific. Quality work at a fair price. Very responsive.
