Dan's Lawn Care is a Braintree landscaping company built around the routine work a South Shore yard needs — spring cleanups, mulching, pruning, and patio or walkway installation — and it says on its BBB listing that it has been in business for 34 years. Recent reviewers who hired the crew for hardscape and cleanup work describe organized, responsive service: a July 2026 review credited the team with hauling away a season's worth of old mulch and checking in throughout a stone and rock job, and another from the same month praised a full edging and mulch overhaul led by an employee named Brett. In a 2023 review, one customer described Dan turning down a stem-wall stonework job outside his expertise and referring someone better suited for it instead. The complaints are specific enough to weigh seriously. A June 2026 review described a redone brick patio that came back infested with weeds and moss, with the company reportedly unwilling to fix it without being paid again for new material. A 2024 review recounted a three-and-a-half-week wait past a promised start date before the crew showed up, though the work itself was finished in under six hours once it began. A pair of 2023 reviews add an early-morning noise complaint on a Sunday and an account of an oversized crew — eight workers and six blowers — on a small, sixth-of-an-acre job. Google's own overall rating for the business sits at 3.6 stars from 20 ratings — a wider sample than the reviews described here, which split more sharply between five-star praise for hardscape and cleanup work and pointed one-star complaints about materials and responsiveness. Before booking, it's worth confirming a firm start date up front and getting the material spec for any patio, wall, or hardscape work in writing — the sharpest complaint here is about material holding up afterward, not the crew's work ethic on the day. For straightforward mowing, mulching, and seasonal cleanup, the same reviews describe a crew that shows up and communicates.
We hired Dan's Lawn Care services to do a spring cleanup and some rock/stone work. Dan has a terrific crew. They asked us a few times during their work if everything look ok and if we needed any tweaks to what they did. They needed to remove a lot of mulch from last year as well as trim all the bushes and a few trees. They efficiently hauled away all the debris and left everything neat. The edging, mulch and stonework all looks great. They were professional, courteous and friendly as well as very hard-working. Everything was done to our complete satisfaction.
I started using Dan at the beginning of June. Just had his guys do the edging and mulch in my yard on July 6th. Led by Brett, the guys did an amazing job! Beautiful edging and they laid down all new mulch after removing several inches of old mulch that accumulated over the past 2 1/2 years. The beds look amazing! Extremely reasonably priced too! Thank you to Brett and the guys for a great job!
The worst…… cannot be trusted. They used cheap infested material to redo my brick patio which is now infested with weeds and moss. Refused to redo with the right material unless I paid for the new material again!
Really great experience with this landscaping company. Dan and his crew were very communicative and efficient and we are very happy with the results of our yard.
Hired Dans lawn care to remove mulch, grade , place new weed barrier and to put a cobblestone barrier in my front yard and mulch around my property. Quoted a price of 2300. 1800 for labor and 500 for stock which I agreed to. I was told they were busy and it would be two weeks before they could do the work. No problem. Three and a half weeks went by and no call. I happened to run into Dans brother, Jim and expressed my concerns. He promised his brother Dan would get back to me that day and he did. They came out the following Saturday and completed the work in less than 6 hours. Jim, who runs the jobs handed me a bill for 500more than agreed to. I told Jim that that was not the agreed to price he said to me well, that’s the price. My wife and I reluctantly agreed and paid it. So I texted Dan with my concern about the 500 and I heard nothing back from him. The check was cashed. The guys that came here to do the work were great. Very courteous and did a nice job. My problem is with the time it took and the 500 dollar overcharge.
