Downing Landscape Services is an Arlington company that says it has served the area since 1980, when Bill Downing founded it. BBB lists commercial and residential landscaping, lawn maintenance, excavation, and construction; the company’s site also names landscape design, lighting, snow removal, and related maintenance work. The only written customer account is dated January 2021 and is mixed. The homeowner called the work quite good but said mowing and shrubbery bills were four to five times higher than two other local bids, leading them to switch providers. Google shows a two-star rating from one rating, while BBB gives the business an A+ grade and says it is not accredited. Price is the question to settle before booking: request a detailed written scope and compare recurring maintenance costs locally. The company is a fit to investigate for Arlington landscaping and seasonal work, but confirm current pricing, responsibilities, and licensing before signing.
