Lawn & Beyond Organic Landscaping, LLC

Lawn & Beyond Organic Landscaping works without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides — chemical-free lawn care, native-plant garden design, organic pest management and seasonal clean-ups from a Dorchester base. Its written record is entirely old, and it splits cleanly in two. Nobody criticised the work. A customer in November 2016 hired the owner, Barriffe, for a major yard clean-up with seeding, fertilising and tree trimming, said the quote was very reasonable and the dead spots healed; another that month called the result excellent. A May 2017 client said the front and back yard looked excellent and that he cleared patio debris he had not been hired for. Reviewers in 2016 and 2017 describe him as pleasant, professional and easy to work with. The complaints are all about coming back. A November 2016 customer on a twice-a-month clean-up agreement wrote that after a strong start the crew "showed up very sporadically," damaged a shed and did not take responsibility, and left emails answered vaguely. A May 2017 customer on the same twice-a-month arrangement said he came once and never returned. Even the reviewer who later softened her one-star still separated the two things: "His work is great, however communication needs improvement." The business replied publicly that it had been "very behind" and that the work was completed. Everything above is from 2016 and 2017; nothing has been written about this company on those platforms since. One person, Eva M., wrote four of the nine reviews, two negative and two positive, so nine reviews is really six voices. On Angi the profile stands at 3.3, and its own About there says the business has served Dorchester for over twelve years and lists a membership of the Urban Farmers Insitute. If you want a genuinely organic program rather than a conventional crew that offers one, this is a shop built around that. Given the shape of the old complaints, the thing to pin down is the schedule: get the visit dates in writing, agree how you will reach him, and confirm what happens if a visit is missed.
