Mansfield is a landscaping business with 4.6 stars from 10 Google ratings. In a 2021 Google review, a customer wrote, "Nelson and his crew have been taking care of my property in Brookline for over 20 years." In another 2021 Google review, a customer wrote, "Very happy customer of Nelson’s for the past few years," and recommended him "for yard maintenance, lawn seeding, spring/fall cleanups and winter plow services." In a 2024 Google review, a customer wrote, "This guy was retained to hydroseed my yard," and that after "I pointed out to him there are many raw spots/areas where there is inadequate hydroseeding coverage, and asked him to spray more hydroseed mixture in those spots/areas," "He refused, and threatened to put a lien on my property and sue me in court if I don't pay him in full on the spot." That 2024 customer wrote, "In the end I gave in to his extortion demand and was coerced into paying him the full amount with a poorly executed job."
This guy was retained to hydroseed my yard because he serves the various towns in the Boston south shore area, and he turned out to be extremely sloppy, rude, and highly unprofessional. After he finished his job, and I inspected the hydroseeded area, I pointed out to him there are many raw spots/areas where there is inadequate hydroseeding coverage, and asked him to spray more hydroseed mixture in those spots/areas. He refused, and threatened to put a lien on my property and sue me in court if I don't pay him in full on the spot. Smug, he went on further to say "so you will never be able to sell your property! " I am totally outraged but because although I know I can fight him, I don't want to spend $$$ finding a lawyer to fight him in court and spend all of those energy and time going to court. In the end I gave in to his extortion demand and was coerced into paying him the full amount with a poorly executed job. I have seen unscrupulous contractors but this one definitely takes the cake. BEWARE AND YOU ARE HEREBY WARNED!!!
Very happy customer of Nelson’s for the past few years. Communicates well, reliable, and able to cover a wide range of landscape needs. I recommend him for yard maintenance, lawn seeding, spring/fall cleanups and winter plow services.
