A 2025 customer said Mike and the crew came out to trim the shrubs, and praised both the shrubs and the mulch. A 2025 customer said they did exactly what was asked, praised how the lawn looked, and called them professional and polite. A 2025 customer recommended the company for property work at a very fair price. A 2025 customer who gave one star said they started too early and blew debris directly at mechanicals and other items. That 2025 customer said mowing dead grass after rain left tire marks on the lawn, and that flowering shrubs were trimmed in a heatwave. The same 2025 customer said they had more often than not cleared their own driveway during snowstorms, that icy areas were not always salted in a timely manner, and that the company had claimed to be understaffed. That 2025 customer said the company had been much better 4-5 years earlier and that some employees were more careful than others. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0551773, as active, held by EAST SIDE TURF CARE. **Strengths:** - Shrub trimming and mulch — a 2025 customer praised the trimmed shrubs and mulch - A fair price — a 2025 customer called the price very fair **Concerns:** - Debris and early starts — a 2025 customer said debris was blown at mechanicals - Lawn tire marks — a 2025 customer said mowing after rain left tire marks - Winter salting — a 2025 customer said icy areas were not always salted promptly ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 3.6 stars from 7 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=East%20Side%20Turf%20Care%20LLC&query_place_id=ChIJG_WZpFnK54kRbH64XHYTSBg) — “Google: 3.6★ from 7 ratings” - BBB grade of A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/meriden/profile/lawn-care/east-side-turf-care-llc-0111-87111460) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - A 2025 customer said Mike and the crew trimmed the shrubs and praised the shrubs and the mulch _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2t3d01rOVdia05xTXpaSVRHdDFkVzlDTWtWWlUwRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x184813765cb87e6c!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOkwwMk9WbkNqMzZITGt1dW9CMkVZU0E%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ East Side is the best landscaping business around.
