Lawn Barber, Inc. is a Massachusetts landscape maintenance and installation company serving homeowners and commercial clients from the Boxborough and Acton area. Its published services include landscape design and installation, lawn and property maintenance, snow removal, stone and masonry work, patios, walkways, retaining walls, and tree planting, pruning, removal, and stump grinding. The company website says it has been creating outdoor habitats for 30 years, while BBB dates the corporation's establishment to 1985 and names Neil H. Phaneuf Jr. as owner. The website lists Acton as its stated service area. Homeowners describe a long-running relationship with Lawn Barber for routine landscaping, stonework, planting, mulch, and garden-bed redesign. In a 2025 review, one customer praised years of reliable lawn work and said a stone project exceeded expectations. Another 2025 reviewer called the crew knowledgeable after several home projects. A December 2023 review described removing overgrown foundation plantings, redesigning the bed, planting shrubs, adding a border, and mulching, calling the company responsive and competitively priced. Earlier reviews from June 2023 praised the company's landscaping and stonework knowledge, while a 2021 review specifically mentioned its wide selection of stone. There is also a substantive negative account to discuss before booking. In an August 2023 review, a customer said an earlier spring cleanup and bed-mulching job was excellent and reasonably priced, but later found the company difficult to reach, with calls often going to a full voicemail box, and said an inexperienced crew used less mulch than expected. That review is older than the recent praise, but it is specific enough to make current scheduling, crew experience, scope, and material quantities worth confirming. Lawn Barber looks suited to homeowners seeking ongoing landscape maintenance alongside planting, stone, and outdoor-living work. Ask which crew will handle the project, confirm the written scope and mulch or stone quantities, and verify the service area and start date before signing.
I’ve been using Lawn Barber for years for my regular land scraping needs and they’ve been absolutely amazing. Always reliable, always polite and always do a great job. Recently I mentioned to them I needed some stone work done. And they did a job so far above and beyond what I expected. Not only does it look amazing but has also stood the test of time! I would recommend not only for regular land scraping but also any stone work you need done!
The crew at Lawn Barber is great and very knowledgeable. They have done a few different projects for me at my home they will definitely be my go to landscaper in the future.
Very responsive and very competitive. We removed overgrown foundation plantings, reworked the design of the planting area, planted new bushes and shri=ubs, created a border and mulched the entire area.
I wish I could write a completely positive review of this company. Our first time using Lawn Barber for spring clean up and bed mulching was amazing. They provided reasonable prices and a good thick coverage of mulch that made limited weeding necessary for the entire season. However, things took a turn for the worse this year. First of all, they are almost impossible to get a hold of. When you call the number it 75% of the time it goes to voicemail but the voicemail box is full so you can't leave a message. Then, they sent an inexperienced crew to our place that utilized not even half of the mulch that we used the prior year barely putting a dusting over our beds. The weeds have been way worse between no mulch and so much rain this year. When I got the bill for 18 yards of mulch (2 more than the prior year), I wrote to them on their invoice to correct the amount of mulch placed and attached pictures of the trace coverage, the only adjustment was to change back to the prior years 16 yards. I paid that, and sent a note along with that, encouraging them to reach out to me if they wanted my business anymore. Rather than getting a call or anything from them, they simply cashed the check. Very poor communication, difficult to correct any issues. Will be taking my business elsewhere.
Had a great experience working with them over the years! With their expert knowledge about all things landscaping, I have been getting compliments on how it looks for years. Would absolutely recommend lawnbarber for anything landscaping or stonework.
