Jeff's Landscape Inc.

What stands out about Jeff's Landscape is what it sells instead of conventional chemicals. Its BBB listing runs organic down the line — organic-based fertilizers, organic tick control, organic mosquito control, grub control, soil testing — and in December 2016 a Patch item reported that Jeff Dodge had bought Safe Mosquito Removal and folded it into the business. The company works out of Wakefield and has been at it a while: BBB dates the start to 2001, incorporation to 2011, puts it at three employees, and prints an A+ grade on a file that says plainly the business is not accredited. Alongside the organic program it does the ordinary things — landscape design and construction, perennial and annual gardens, lawn installation and maintenance, mulch by retail and wholesale, and snow plowing through the winter. Only one customer has written anything down. In May 2024 a homeowner described several years of mowing, weeding, yard cleanups and mulching, and singled out the thing that matters more than the adjectives: the crew turns up when it is scheduled. Two practical wrinkles. BBB files the whole company under the name Velvet Green Organic Lawn Care, with Jeff's Landscape, Inc. listed only as an alternate name — so the paperwork, the invoice and the truck may not all read the same. And the sources name different people at the top: BBB lists Tom Johnson as manager, while the 2016 Patch piece named Jeff Dodge as the owner expanding the business. A sensible call if organic lawn care is the point, since the tick and mosquito side came from an actual acquisition rather than a line added to a price list. Ask which entity name goes on your contract, and get the organic program's schedule and products in writing before the first application.
