Mantis Landscape & Excavation LLC

Mantis Landscape & Excavation LLC works out of Taunton, and reviewers keep naming the same person behind the work: Angel Reed, described across dozens of reviews as the owner or owner/manager. The company's own site lists lawn care, yard cleanups, tree and shrub removal, land clearing and grading, snow plowing, and property management, and says estimates are free. Two years of reviews keep returning to the same customers: people who've used Mantis for a year and a half, two seasons, two years running — recurring maintenance rather than a single job — with several scheduling visits every three weeks or weekly for mowing, mulching, trimming, and cleanups. A recent 2026 review said Angel and his crew have done exactly what they said they would, "when he said he would do it," and would be hired again. Specific jobs described include grading and rebuilding lawn areas alongside a driveway surface, and, in a 2024 review, a same-day visit, a fair quote, an on-time arrival, and a property left "pristine." Another 2024 review mentioned negotiable pricing on a landscaping job, and one customer noted the crew clears weeds from the driveway and the street out front, not just the yard. A few reviewers credit a crew member named AJ alongside Angel's team, and several mention quick, clear communication when they reach out with questions. All 28 reviews on file are five stars, three of them posted in the last six months, and none flag a complaint, a pricing dispute, or a scheduling problem. Worth asking before booking: what a typical maintenance schedule costs and how a custom hardscape project — one customer mentioned a retaining wall planned for this spring — would be priced, since the reviews describe cost as fair and negotiable rather than published.
