The clearest pattern at Marckini's Property Services is what happens after the check clears: pay in full or even two-thirds up front, and there's a real chance the crew that started strong never comes back to finish. That's not one bad review — it shows up in a 2018 Angi complaint about a porch painting job gone wrong, a 2022 review describing a job "never finished" after a cash prepayment, and three of the five most recent HomeAdvisor reviews (August 2025, November 2025, and April 2026), each describing the same shape: work begins, payment is collected, then delays and an unresponsive owner. When the job does get finished, though, reviewers describe real, fairly priced work. A 2017 Angi review recalls the owner, Michael Marckini, showing up the same day for a yard cleanup and working past dark for the price they'd agreed on. A June 2026 HomeAdvisor review describes a four-person crew clearing a 7/8-acre lot in a matter of hours with painless Zelle payment, and a March 2026 reviewer described a rental-property turnover — painting and minor repairs — as leaving them with "a beautiful apartment." The business does mowing, yard and leaf cleanup, snow plowing, and junk hauling as its main work, with interior and exterior painting and small repairs on the side; HomeAdvisor's profile states 13 years of experience and notes the business speaks Spanish. The platform averages sit at 3.6 stars on Angi (9 reviews) and 4.0 on HomeAdvisor (152 reviews), so completed jobs outnumber the incomplete ones by volume — but the specific complaint, payment collected and then silence, recurs often enough across nearly a decade that it's worth asking about directly before booking. For a straightforward, single-visit job like a mowing or a cleanup, the record of solid, fairly priced work holds up. For anything bigger or multi-day, get a written completion date and hold back final payment until the work is actually done — several of the unhappy reviewers said they wished they had.
We hired this pro , to mow a 7/8 acre lot. They found sumac and a tree that was sumac and assessed the situation. They had a crew of 4 guys and a truck with equipment. They came in and did the job I'm a matter of hours to fix the landscaping situation. Payment was painless and easy with invoicing by email and electronic payment using Zelle.
Provider reached out through angi for landscaping job. Given reputation of angi, i trusted proivder and paid in full before job started. Job included collecting leaf from property, dispose off the property and mow grass. Job needed to be finised in 1 week of time due to ulcoming snow strom. After many delays 1 guy was sent 1 day before storm. Guy only collected and made pile of leaf all over the property but leafs were not disposed and grass was not mowed. Provided promosed to finish the job in spring, from 1 last 10 days provider is not resposidng or providing any details when job will be finised after multiple call and text.
We had an excellent experience with our rental property in Dorchester with Marckini's Property Services LLC! We had a tenant turnover and they worked quickly and efficiently to get the apartment ready for new tenants: painting, minor repairs, etc. The end result was a beautiful apartment! Would highly recommend.
I Hired Michael on 11/01 for a fall cleanup that we discussed before he started, he was supposed to clean all dry leaves and then haul them away of the property but he just blowed not even up to the line of the property. He spent around 30 minutes on that lowsy job and charged me $525.00. I contacted him on 11/02 and he promised that he would be back on 11/03 at 8 am to fix it but he never showed up or contacted me. I tried to text him and got the message "Sorry, this service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later" . I just don't get it how professionals like that even have access to Angi's.
Landscaping Service Review ? Mr. Michael Mr. Michael is personable and good at presenting his services. However, my project experience was not satisfactory. After an impressive first day, during which I paid two-thirds of the agreed amount, communication stopped for several days. The work was left incomplete, with used mulch left on my driveway and weeds not cleared for disposal. He then proposed a revised plan that would require an additional $800 to complete the job. While others may have better results, I found the process unprofessional and disappointing. I recommend clarifying all terms in writing and proceeding with caution
