Lawn-Pro Lawncare Service, Inc.

Lawn-Pro Lawncare Service is a Plainville, Massachusetts outfit that's been mowing, fertilizing, and treating for mosquitoes across the MetroWest and South Shore towns for decades — the company describes itself as family-owned, and HomeAdvisor lists 32 years in business. The loudest voice in its reviews is longevity: one customer says they've used Lawn-Pro for 25 years without an issue, another for over 20, both mentioning the courtesy call the day before a visit. Mosquito control comes up again and again as the reason people stick around — one reviewer whose daughter is allergic to bites says Lawn-Pro is the only company that's actually kept the yard livable, and several others describe real relief after the season's first application. On Google, 35 ratings average 4.6 stars; on Angi and HomeAdvisor, where the samples are much smaller (13 and 12 ratings), the average sits closer to 3.7–3.9 — a gap worth knowing going in. The complaints on record are specific, not vague. A 2024 review describes Lawn-Pro accidentally treating the wrong yard, twice in one week, because the address was similar to an actual customer's — killing the lawn, with three follow-up calls going nowhere. A separate 2024 review describes a season of insect and crabgrass treatments that didn't clear the crabgrass, with no further help once the reviewer says they were told they weren't a current customer. And a 2020 review describes an unauthorized spring application and an office response calling it automatic renewal — the reviewer called the exchange rude. None of that shows up in the last six months: the five most recent reviews, from April through August this year, are all five stars and describe quick, professional visits with detailed after-service reports explaining each application. Angi lists a Massachusetts trade license for the company (CC-0015359, expiring 12/31/2026) — that's Angi's listing, not something verified here — plus certifications from the Massachusetts Association of Lawncare Professionals and the RI Nursery and Landscape Association. Worth confirming before signing on: how billing and renewal terms work season to season, and — given the address mix-up — that they have the right property on file before the first visit. For anyone drawn in by the mosquito-season and long-tenure reviews, that's the trade-off: a crew with real staying power and specific praise for pest control, alongside a real, if dated, pattern of billing and follow-up complaints.
