One homeowner had used the same landscaper for five years, gave up, and emailed Earthworks instead. Writing in August 2026, they got a reply within two hours and an estimate they called fair. That is roughly the shape of this Wakefield company: family-run, in business since 1993 by its own account and by its Better Business Bureau listing, with Peter Donovan named there as president. Five of the reviewers write about Peter by name. Lawn care is what customers describe. A February 2025 review came from someone who had worked with several lawn care companies over 15 years and said none had provided the level of service and care Peter and Earthworks did. A Thumbtack customer in July 2023, on land close to wetland, said their lawn improved after Peter's care — fewer weeds, more grass — and credited his mosquito control. In a July 2022 review, another customer described mulch beds and lawn care, watering and lawn-care tips afterward, and a follow-up visit once the job was done. The long-timers turned up in 2025. One, writing in October, said they had worked with the team for 15-plus years, plowing included, and found them readily reachable; an April 2025 review described choosing services each spring and called it a family-run business. Two things to settle before you plan around a price. Distance matters: a customer who asked for a lawn aeration quote in March 2022 got a call explaining that the cost would have to be adjusted up, because the address sat outside his range. And the company's Thumbtack presence runs under a second name, Earthworks Lawn Care, whose own text says it is doing business with Earthworks Landscaping Co. Inc. For season-long lawn care around Wakefield — fertilizing, aeration, over-seeding, mosquito and tick control, with plowing in winter — this is a small crew that customers stay with; three of them describe years-long relationships. Ask whether your address falls inside the range they cover, and settle which services are in the spring package before you sign.
After being disappointed with my landscaper of 5 years, I decided to reach out to an alternative. Earthworks is a local company so I started there. They responded to my first email within 2 hours and the estimate was fair and they worked with me because every property is different. One size does not fit all. I was impressed right out of the gate. Then came their service , 5 star. My neighbors commented on how much time their Team spent and how fabulous my yard looked. Can’t top that! Happy Happy! 😃
I have worked with the Earthworks team for 15 years +. They are fabulous. They also did my plowing. They were always thoughtful, helpful and kind and they always went the distance to help me with my landscaping and plowing. They are readily assessable too unlike lots of other landscapers. Just moved so no longer need their services but l will miss them. To me they are family. So happy and honored to write this review. M.O.
My husband Joe and I are long-time and happy customers of Earthworks! It’s a family run business whose work is top notch! Each Spring we select the services we want and then get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Their work is thorough and they are always available for a consult. We trust their expertise and appreciate their responsiveness. Our investment in Earthworks Landscaping has added value to our home and given us more free time to enjoy it😊 Thank you Peter (Sr. & Jr.), Linda, and all your Team!
Been using Earthworks the past year for several services and couldn't be more pleased. Peter communicates well and takes the time to access your lawn needs. Almost feels like he treats it as his own yard. All services have been reasonably priced. Would highly recommend Peter and Earthworks to anyone.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked with several lawn care companies, and none have provided the level of service and care that Peter and Earthworks Landscaping Co. have. Unlike other companies, Earthworks truly delivers on their promise of exceptional lawn care. Peter takes the time to assess your lawn and collaborates with you to ensure it meets your expectations. His expertise and commitment to quality make all the difference. Personally, I’m thrilled to have finally found a lawn care service I can trust—one that consistently goes above and beyond! I highly recommend Earthworks Landscaping Co. for anyone looking for reliable, top-quality lawn care.
