Martin Landscaping & Horticultural Services says on its Houzz profile that it has offered lawn care, maintenance and landscaping to the Farmington Valley and Greater Bristol area since 2002, for both commercial and residential properties. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0574662, is active on the state registry under MARTIN LANDSCAPING & HORTICULTURAL SRVCS LLC. A 2024 customer said the company leveled part of the yard and reseeded it, and grass grew in where they had never been able to grow it in over 7 years at the home; that 2024 customer said it also made a pool pad for an Intex pool. In a 2025 review, a customer said Martin evaluated the lawn and identified issues that others had struggled to diagnose. A 2023 customer said they had added tick treatments for the yard and were thrilled with the results. A 2023 reviewer said Tom had done the yard maintenance and was the first person out to make it right when something was wrong. A 2023 customer said the work went wrong after the owner walked the property: mulch was dumped onto flower beds with none edged, the landscapers girdled and killed a flowering dogwood, which the owner denied and blamed on it being "dry", and a stone driveway was laid with nothing underneath, so the stone had to come back up. In a 2025 review, a customer said paid snow shoveling around the cars was not done, and that after they asked not to be charged for it, a form message a couple of months later said the company was focusing on corporate accounts and dropping residential accounts.
I want to thank Martin for his prompt response and exceptional service. Martin took the time to thoroughly evaluate my lawn and quickly identified issues that others had struggled to diagnose. His knowledge, professionalism, and willingness to share helpful advice—without any pressure—truly stood out. I appreciated his insight and the care he put into addressing my concerns. Highly recommended!
During the winter we paid to have our driveway plowed and paid additional money to have the snow shoveled around the cars. Unfortunately, this was not done. I called Martin Landscaping to explain the issue and indicated that I would appreciate if we were not charged for a service that was not performed. A couple of months later I receive a form message indicating that the company is focusing on corporate accounts and dropping residential accounts. Interestingly, Martin Landscaping is cutting the lawn for people to houses down for me. Presumably, customers are penalized for requesting services that they were being charged for.
Martin Landscape came out to level a portion of our yard and reseed. They did a great job with not only the leveling but the grass that grew in looks amazing. We have been at our home over 7 years and could never grow grass where we now have lush grass. They also made a great pool pad for us for an Intex pool that we are putting up for the summer. Would highly recommend.
Martin landscaping is top notch! The owner and his team is always on time and take great care when working on our property. We have been doing business with them for years. We recently added on Tick Treatments for your yard and we are thrilled with the results.
Was hopeful when the owner took the time to walk the property and spend the time to review work to be completed… was a completely different situation when the work actually started being done. Mulch was just “dumped” on to flower beds and didn’t take the time to edge a single one… landscapers girdled a flowering dogwood (that bloomed beautiful white flowers earlier that season) and killed it completely- owner denied the landscapers had done it, and blamed it on being “dry”, even though the bark was completely stripped all the way around and the tree had flowered months prior (not to mention it had been raining nearly every day for two months straight). Asked for stone “drive way” to connect our barn to main drive… didn’t put anything underneath and all the stone has to come back up and redone because you just “sink” when trying to drive on it. Asked for our roses to be attended to because they were starting to show signs of disease and was ignored completely. I rarely will write negative review knowing that small businesses are strapped with inflation and limited labor talent, but we spent A LOT of money with absolutely no quality or resolution to any complaints we made.
