Verified record
Cullins Service Landscaping is a small landscaping company based in Newton Centre that's been in business for about seven years, according to its Better Business Bureau profile, which also grades it an A+ (though the business is not BBB-accredited). The handful of written reviews on file are consistently positive and specific. In a 2022 review, a customer described bringing in Dave and John's crew for lawn care at a relative's Newton Center property; in another 2022 review, a customer said Matt and his crew cleaned up a front garden and installed a small wall and edging, arriving on time and pricing the job fairly, and mentioned hiring them again for a patio and fire pit; and in a 2024 review, a customer called the work helpful, knowledgeable, and well done. There isn't much written history to go on yet — three reviews spanning 2022 to 2024 — so it's worth asking about current availability and getting a written quote before committing to a larger project like a patio or wall. For smaller lawn-care and garden cleanup jobs around Newton, the reviews on file are uniformly positive, even without much volume behind them.

Very helpful and knowledgeable and did a great job
Cullins Landscaping is a reliable, thorough, and excellent landscaping company operated by good men. I highly recommend the services of Dave and John. My mother in law lives in newton center and her back yard was in desperate need of lawn care. My family lived with her for several months while our home was getting renovated and I wanted to help her enjoy her yard again. I met with several local well established and reputable companies. I was not familiar with Cullins but was impressed by their quote and ideas. Dave visited me and my mother in law to see the back yard. He presented a plan for filling two old frog ponds with crushed stone and loam. He also knew how we could remove the ivy that had overtaken the yard. He even had a way to remove an old Cadillac from the yard. We hired Cullins and I’m so glad we did. John used a subcontractor who brought in a small excavator that pulled the Cadillac to the driveway so we could have it towed away. Dave and John brought in a crew of guys and they filled the frog ponds. They used a liner and stone and loam as they had planned. Then they cut the ivy along the bottom of a stone wall and applied a treatment to all remaining ivy throughout the back yard. They came back every week to check on progress and applied another treatment to ensure the ivy was dead. Then their team cleaned all leaves and brush and applied a top layer of new loam throughout the side and backyard. They laid new seed and even installed a temporary above ground irrigation system to promote the growth of the new grass. Through every step of the process, it was easy to talk to Dave and John. John is personable and works closely with the crew. Dave is always available by phone and email. He updated the quote whenever we adjusted the project or needed different work performed. My mother in law’s yard looks amazing. By next spring, she will be able to enjoy her back yard for the first time in decades as she has always imagined. Cullins Landscaping helped make this dream a reality for her. We are grateful for their services and diligence in completing this transformation of her backyard.
Top notch work! Had them clean up my front garden area & put in a small wall/edging. Matt & his crew were on time, professional, & fairly priced. Hiring them again to install a patio for my new fire pit! Unlike numerous other contractors I have contacted, they always get back to you, and show up when they say they're going to be there.
