General Landscape Corporation

General Landscape Corporation is a Dedham firm that says it has cared for lawns and gardens in the Boston area for 46 years, offering landscape maintenance, planting design, plant health care and seasonal work across Brookline, Newton, Chestnut Hill, Boston and a dozen nearby communities. Chief Horticulturalist Steve Gosdanian, who holds a B.S. in Horticulture, leads the company's recommendations, and BBB records list the business as established in 1981 with 12 employees. It is not a BBB-accredited business, and BBB has not issued it a rating. What's on the written record isn't about the quality of the landscaping itself — it's about the company's crews and vehicles around the neighborhood. In a 2022 review, someone described a company vehicle blowing a stop sign and nearly causing a collision. A 2023 review complained of "all-day noise pollution," and an April 2026 review said simply that the writer wished the crews spent less time on a particular street. None of the three reviews on file describe the actual landscaping work performed — all three raise noise or driving conduct around job sites rather than the plantings, mowing, or design work itself. Anyone considering General Landscape Corporation would do well to ask directly about crew scheduling, noise, and how company vehicles are driven in residential neighborhoods, since that's what the public record actually raises. The company's decades in the trade and a horticulturist-led staff are worth weighing against those neighborhood complaints before booking.
