James A Martin Co

James A Martin Co is a family-run landscape company that's kept the same phone ringing in Burlington since the late 1970s — the company says it's been family-owned since 1978, handling everyday landscape maintenance and construction alongside commercial snow and ice control, mulch application and other property upkeep. The written record on file is thin but consistent. Two Google reviews, both from 2023, tell the same story: one customer had a crew out to cut the lawn the same day they called, calling the turnaround incredible; another spent time with the owner, James, and came away describing him as experienced, professional and honest — on time, and doing more than what was originally agreed. Google's broader rating sits at 5 stars from 9 ratings, with nothing negative on file. A 2008 trade-publisher profile placed the company in its 30th year at the time, which lines up with the 1978 founding the business states on its own site. BBB's file tells a different story, though — it lists a 2005 start date and puts the company at 21 years in business, and shows no BBB accreditation or rating. There isn't much of a written record beyond that handful of reviews, so it's worth asking for a couple of recent references directly, especially for a bigger job like a snow contract or landscape construction project rather than routine mowing. For everyday landscape maintenance in the Burlington area, the story so far is simple: fast to show up, with a hands-on owner.
