Joshua Landscaping and Snow Removal

Two customers have written about Joshua Landscaping, and between them they cover about a quarter century. The one who posted in January 2026 said the company has looked after their yard for roughly ten years — the original seeding, a fence, the sprinkler system, stone steps, trees and shrubs, regular mowing and seasonal cleanups — after a bigger, heavily advertised outfit disappointed them on price and work. A 2023 reviewer said Joshua had been serving their property for more than fifteen years. That is the shape of this business: a small, family-run Revere operation whose written record is about people who stayed. The company's own site says it has 22 years behind it, works within about 30 miles of Revere, and has certified arborists on the crew; its Porch listing says 16 years. Both are the business's own claims, not anything verified. The service list is wide for an outfit this size — landscape design, hardscaping and stone masonry, lawn installation and care, garden maintenance, tree planting, cutting, pruning and stump grinding, French drains, stone walls and brick work, plus snow plowing through the winter, with irrigation and driveway stonework on the Porch side. The thin part is the paper trail. Thirteen Google ratings averaging 4.4, and only those two written accounts. Porch shows a 4.5, but that figure is Porch's own roll-up of reviews collected on other sites, so it is not a second opinion. Landscaping-only contractors are exempt from Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, so nothing turns on registration here. If what you want is someone to take the property on year after year, the two people who wrote describe exactly that. For a one-off hardscape, wall or drainage job, ask to see recent examples and talk to those customers — the written accounts on file are about long-run maintenance.
