Colonial West Landscaping

Needham residents use Colonial West for the recurring work that makes a property livable year-round: lawn mowing, seasonal cleanups, pruning, and snow removal. The company says it has served Needham exclusively since 2005 and is owner-operated by Jim Farquharson; its own service list also includes lawn installation and repair, garden-bed design, and core aeration and overseeding. The recent Google comments are uniformly positive. A January 2026 customer specifically cited mowing, seasonal cleanups, weeding, and snow removal over several years, while late-2025 customers repeatedly mentioned responsiveness, communication, fair pricing, and consistent service. Older reviews add more detail: in November 2021, one homeowner described rebuilding rough yard areas, replacing shrubs, maintaining them through summer, and ending with the yard they wanted; another said the team had handled their home for nearly 10 years and also took care of snow plowing. There is useful breadth but the written comments are concentrated on Google, and Houzz currently shows no customer reviews. The BBB profile gives the business an A+ grade but says it is not accredited. Before booking, confirm the service address and scope: the company website says work is exclusively in Needham, while BBB labels the profile Framingham. Colonial West looks suited to Needham homeowners seeking ongoing lawn and seasonal property care from a small owner-operated crew. Ask for a written estimate covering the specific seasonal services, timing, and whether any requested work falls outside the stated Needham-only service area.
