**Trade:** Landscaping · **Address:** 99 Monadnock Rd, Worcester, MA 01609 · **Phone:** (508) 294-2850 · **Website:** http://greatcarelawnservice.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 2.6/5** (low confidence) — from 3 reviews across 7 sources.

## The honest read

Great Care Lawn Service is a Worcester-based lawn-care and landscaping company that says it has more than 30 years in the industry. Its published programs cover lawn care and renovation, fertilization and weed control, aeration and seeding, tree and shrub treatments, and tick and mosquito control. The company’s website lists Worcester and surrounding central-Massachusetts communities in its service area.

The small review record is mixed. In a 2022 Google review, a homeowner said a tick treatment was followed by no further tick finds and praised the team’s professionalism and advance notice. In a 2021 review repeated across Angi and HomeAdvisor, another homeowner described late treatments, poor communication, and an uncompleted paid treatment, and rated the experience 0.5 stars. Platform ratings also vary: Google shows 4.5 from 30 ratings and Porch 4.6 from 101, while Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 0.5 from one rating.

Before booking, ask which lawn program fits the property, what timing and communication to expect for recurring treatments, and how tick or mosquito work is handled. Confirm the current service address and the status and scope of the agriculture license listed by BBB.

They may suit homeowners seeking recurring lawn treatment or tick-control work in central Massachusetts, but the dated complaint makes scheduling, communication, and refund terms worth confirming in writing.

**Strengths:**
- Tick control — one reviewer reported no further ticks after treatment
- Wide lawn programs — fertilization, aeration, seeding, and renovations
- Central-Massachusetts coverage — website lists Worcester and surrounding towns

**Concerns:**
- Treatment timing — one 2021 review reported repeated delays
- Communication — one homeowner reported seven unanswered refund emails
- Rating spread — platform scores range from 0.5 to 4.6 stars

**Where sources disagree:**
- Platform ratings vary substantially: Google 4.5/30 and Porch 4.6/101 versus Angi and HomeAdvisor 0.5/1 each.
- The official website says over 30 years in business, while BBB and Porch list 16–17 years; the business-start dates and tenure conventions differ.
- The current contractor address is 99 Monadnock Rd, while the Porch profile lists 1325 Pleasant St in Worcester; confirm the current address.
