Craig's Landscaping

Craig's Landscaping runs out of Arlington with a five-star track record that's hard to argue with: 53 reviews on file since 2022 average 4.8 stars on Google, and the company carries an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Fourteen reviews landed in the last six months alone, and every one of them was positive — the kind of consistency that suggests this isn't a fluke. What people hire Craig's for goes well beyond mowing. Recent reviews describe the crew regrading a sloped, unusable backyard into a level space for a daughter's playhouse, and backfilling and grading a new garage foundation until grass seed took root within about a week. A basement masonry repair got a mention too, alongside the more routine weekly lawn care, mulching, and irrigation work. Further back, in 2024, reviewers described the crew replacing a rotted timber retaining wall while saving a picket fence and bushes in the process, excavating a row of dead arborvitae and replanting new trees in a single morning, and turning an old, failing deck into a stone-wall patio with plantings. Several customers — including one managing a rental property from over an hour away — say they've kept Craig's on for years of ongoing seasonal work. The one sour note: in a 2022 review, a customer said the crew blew grass clippings and sticks onto a parked car with a weedwacker, permanently damaging it, and that the crew cussed and hollered when the customer tried to stop them. It's an outlier in an otherwise unbroken run of five-star write-ups, but a specific, credible complaint worth knowing about before scheduling work near a car that can't be moved. Before calling, it's worth confirming where vehicles will be parked during a job — the pattern otherwise across dozens of reviews is prompt scheduling, clear communication, and work finished and cleaned up the same day. For anything from a weekly mow to a full yard regrade or a rebuilt retaining wall, this is a company customers keep calling back.
