First Class Landscaping & Tree Service, LLC is a Colchester, Connecticut landscaping company. Its website says it was established and is based in Colchester and describes it as a veteran-owned landscaping company. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0663808, is active on the state registry under the name FIRST CLASS LANDSCAPING & TREE SERVICE LLC. On Google it holds a 5-star rating from 40 ratings. A recent customer said they have had the service for almost five years and called it very reliable from week to week. A 2026 customer said that after one plow company could not make it up their long, inclined driveway, First Class sent a skid steer out to clear it. A 2026 reviewer wrote that First Class plowed out their long driveway after a big snowstorm and cleared the steps and porch, even though they were not familiar with the property. A 2024 customer said Dalton offered to place his own snow stakes along the driveway, and that the plowing included shoveling the walkway to the front doors. A 2024 customer said they used First Class Landscaping for snow removal, lawn care, spring cleanup and tree work after storm damage, and that snow removal included a second pass in a heavy storm. A 2024 customer said Dalton and his crew installed a wash stall and fence posts on a property with many rocks, and that the customer was consulted every step of the way if the plan needed to be altered. A 2024 reviewer said Dalton washed the house, cleaned out the gutters, and trimmed and mulched the hedges for a reasonable price. A 2025 customer described a spring cleanup and mulch job with an easy quote and fair pricing. A recent customer wrote that after the owner viewed the property, they waited 3-4 weeks for a follow-up, and then nobody showed up on two days they were told someone would come. That customer later changed the rating to five stars after a phone call from Dalton, whom they called the actual owner, and said they could not rate the work at that time.
Update: I received a phone call from Dalton, the actual owner, and truly appreciate the communication. Regardless of whether or not this company is able to work on our property (so I cannot rate their work at this time) I am changing my one star rating to a 5 star rating based on Dalton’s communication and professionalism. Wishing and praying for a safe return home. Totally unprofessional. The owner came to see the property over a month ago. Took video and photos. Said she would get back to me in about a week. I waited 3-4 weeks and contacted her again. She said someone would come the next day to look at the property again. We stayed home all day no one showed up. Texted her and she said someone would definitely be here the following day. I told her we would be back home after 4. She sent a thumbs up…well, guess what? Yup! No show again. No message, no phone call. Totally unprofessional. A simple text (takes seconds) or a phone call letting me know they wouldn’t be coming would have been good business practice and appreciated.
Had this service for almost 5 years now. They are excellent. Very professional, hardworking and very reliable from week to week. They offer other services as well. Just a really great group of people in the business who care about their work.
