Jacob's Landscaping

Jacob's Landscaping runs grounds-management work out of Lunenburg, covering Central Mass towns like Fitchburg, Ayer, Jefferson, Holden and Leominster — mowing, tree and shrub care, hardscapes, and snow and ice removal in the winter. The company says it's been at it more than 15 years; its Better Business Bureau file puts the figure at 21 and names Richard Jacobs as owner. The common thread across its handful of reviews is finishing the job and following through afterward. On Thumbtack, where it holds a 4.8 rating over 19 ratings (95% five-star), a recent customer described a full-day overgrown-yard cleanup — a walkthrough before, a walkthrough after, about seven hours of work — and signed the crew on for ongoing bi-weekly maintenance and a fall cleanup. Another reviewer had them plant and mulch a tree with fresh soil and called them punctual; a third had a yard cleared of debris and called the crew easy to work with. Even a visitor who didn't end up hiring them still described the interaction as pleasant and responsive. A 2022 Google review adds an older account calling the crew's equipment and service professional, and Google separately shows a 5-star average across six ratings. No negative reviews turn up in its recent activity, and the one below-five-star mark on Thumbtack (5% of ratings) isn't tied to any written complaint. The company isn't BBB accredited and BBB currently issues it no letter grade — neither uncommon for a business this size. For routine mowing, seasonal cleanups, or landscaping work that folds in tree care or hardscaping, this is a Central Mass crew reviewers describe as showing up, finishing what they start, and coming back for repeat maintenance.
