Verified record
Madison Floral & Landscape Solutions is a Boston-area landscaping and hardscaping company run by Edison Chae — the same name comes up, unprompted, in nearly every one of the 20 reviews on file, describing detailed quotes with options laid out and crews that show up and do exactly what was promised. Its directory profile lists 26 years of experience and gives Charlestown as its base, with self-reported service in Andover, Chelsea, and Stoneham. The written record is remarkably consistent: every one of 20 Angi and HomeAdvisor reviews from 2020 through 2024 is five stars, and Angi and HomeAdvisor both show a 5.0-star average from 21 ratings apiece. What people describe hiring Edison's team for skews toward the hard problems other landscapers turn away — a sloping backyard with no machinery access that needed hand-dug stone retaining walls and a stone patio, persistent flooding and ponding solved with a new drainage system and regrading, and a basement water problem traced to bad grading and fixed the same way. A 2020 reviewer described the crew correcting drainage work another contractor had botched, including installing a proper dry well. Reviewers across the years repeatedly mention clear, itemized quotes given up front, realistic timelines that were kept, and a willingness to adapt mid-project when a homeowner's plans changed. Several older reviews, dated 2020 and 2021, describe the same pattern of responsiveness and design help on smaller yard projects — the written record on file runs back that far, not just its recent years. The company's name points to floral roots: two dated web mentions, from a 2016 and a 2020 wedding, describe Edison's team designing florals for a wedding, though nothing in the more recent record touches floral work — the current record is entirely landscaping and hardscaping. A strong call for a demanding yard project — drainage problems, tricky terrain, retaining walls — where a detailed, communicative process matters; there's little in the written record to caution against.
“Perfect florals and great service Edison and his team were amazing for our wedding! From the beginning of the planning process he was able to understand what we were looking for, took all of our feedback and suggestions, and created the exact florals we were looking for!”
“Edison and his team were amazing for our wedding! From the beginning of the planning process he was able to understand what we were looking for, took all of our feedback and suggestions, and created the exact florals we were looking for! He worked very hard to stay within our budget, while not sacrificing quality and beauty. I would highly recommend working with Edison for your wedding!”
Our project involved growing a nice lawn where we had lots of moss and bare space and had failed in previous efforts, removing damaged or overgrown shrubs and replacing them with new plantings, and nice edging all around. Edison Chae (the owner) listened to what we wanted, made good suggestions, submitted a proposal that was reasonably priced, and did what he promised and more for the proposal price. He and his crew were pleasant and professional. They left the site clean. He even went with us to a wholesale garden company to select new plantings that would work well on our property and please us. The crew improved the working of our sprinkler system by relocating or repairing some sprinklers and adjusting all of them to give us better watering coverage. They also removed some tree limbs where we needed more sunlight. Finally, he came back to overseed any areas that had not come in so well.
Our project included a spring clean-up, garden edging, the replacement of patio jointing compound, as well as the addition of loam, seed, mulch, and gravel. We are very pleased with the work completed on our property. Edison is a consummate professional. He offered multiple helpful suggestions to improve the appearance and functionality of our property. Would definitely recommend his company to others.
You hear these horror stories of people who take your money and get back to you whenever they feel like it, but this was the complete opposite. They gave me a clear breakdown of costs, told me when they were going to start, and when they were going to be done, and did exactly what they said they would do at exactly the budget they said they'd do it at. I honestly had no idea how they were going to demolish a shed, move a couple of trees, set up a retaining wall, and re-create my front and back lawns in, like, a week. But they did, and it turned out wonderfully.
We worked with Edison from Madison Landscape Solutions recently and it was a great experience!! We needed a dry well diagnosed & likely replaced in the front garden at a brown stone in downtown Boston. From quote, to performing the work, to completion, it was a pleasure working with Edison! He listened to our needs, planned it properly & delivered - exactly as promised. After getting 3 quotes, Madison wasn't the cheapest but they were worth it & they were willing to work on a competitive basis to deliver excellent results!! I highly recommend using Edison from Madison Landscape Solutions, as you won't be disappointed!! - Roger (unit owner at Beacon Street Condo in downtown Boston)
Edison explained my options and was able to accommodate a change in scope of work after the work was started. His crew performed the job professionally and efficiently and left the work site clean.
