Wide Range Maintenance, run by Joey out of the Ayer area, does more than its name modestly suggests — mulching and bed work, lawn mowing, tree removal and stump grinding, excavation, hardscaping, snow plowing, and small jobs like mailbox installs. Google shows a 4.9★ average from 27 ratings, and the reviews read less like a script than a running list of specific jobs done well. The recurring theme is precision and honesty about scope. One reviewer describes Joey using a satellite map to calculate exactly how much mulch a property needed, then laying 130 yards in three days with clean edges. Another says he charged exactly what he quoted, with none of the "this took longer than expected" excuses homeowners often hear. A property manager who refers work to contractors says Wide Range is the only one she recommends to clients, citing dependability and communication. Tree work shows up often too — reviewers describe storm-damaged trees chopped, split, hauled and ground down to a stump within the same visit, with cleanup handled completely. Not every job landed that way. In an April 2026 review, a customer describes agreeing to an expanded scope and higher price after an initial mix-up over inches versus feet, only to find the finished beds unevenly mulched, poorly edged, with grass and weeds still visible and cleanup left incomplete — a clear exception to the pattern in the rest of the record. This is a fit for a homeowner juggling a mix of yard projects — tree work, mulching, plowing, small installs — who wants one reliable call; just walk the finished job together before signing off, especially on a larger bed-expansion project.

Wide range maintenance did a great job expanding and cleaning up my backyard! Communication with Joey was excellent from start to finish and he always arrived on schedule and completed the work as we’d discussed. Highly recommended, and I will engage them for future projects!
Wide Range Maintenance applied 9 yards of mulch on our property and we are very happy with the work done. Joey and his team did a great job. Very professional and they cleaned up after and respected our property. I definitely will be using them again. Communication is top notch too. Notified me when, what time they would arrive and they came early. You will be happy too.
We hired Wide Range Maintenance to expand our landscape beds by approximately 2 feet, edge them, and install black mulch in the front and side yard. There was initial confusion on their end regarding the scope (inches vs. feet), which we clarified in person. We agreed to additional cost for the corrected scope, materials, and time in order to complete the job properly. Despite this, the work performed did not match what was discussed or paid for. The beds were not properly edged, mulch was applied thinly and unevenly with grass and weeds visible throughout, and cleanup was incomplete with debris left behind. Portions of the work appeared rushed, including mulch being spread over existing grass rather than properly preparing the beds. When we raised concerns and attempted to resolve the issues, communication became unprofessional, confrontational, and even threatening, no meaningful effort was made to review or correct the work. We ultimately paid in full to end the situation and avoid further threatening confrontations. The quality of work and overall experience did not align with the price charged, and we would not recommend this company.
Great experience with Joey removing a large downed tree. Prompt quote, very prompt scheduling service, and great job with cleanup.
Joey does an amazing job cutting my grass every two weeks, always leaving my yard looking neat and beautiful. His attention to detail really shows, and the communication is excellent. Always prompt, friendly, and reliable. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality lawn care!
