Nicks Landscaping and Excavation LLC

Nicks Landscaping and Excavation is the kind of Upton-area contractor people call when a property needs more than a routine mow: recent Google customers describe spring cleanups, mulching, lawn work, brush removal, grading, driveway repair, land clearing, and larger outdoor improvements. The company’s own site says it handles landscaping, excavation, drainage, hardscaping, site work, utilities, driveways, lawn care, property maintenance, and snow removal across Upton and nearby towns, and says it was founded in 2020. The written customer history is unusually consistent. Google has 36 reviews from 2025 to 2026, including 10 in the last six months, and the comments repeatedly return to finished work rather than just courtesy: a stone-wall project, removal of roughly 100 yards of river rock, driveway excavation and hot-top repair, land clearing and grading, pine-needle cleanup, planting, mulch, and hardscaping. Customers also describe clear communication, punctual arrival, fair estimates, clean sites, and plans to hire Nick again. Before booking, pin down the scope and any material or site-condition changes in writing. One Google reviewer said an initially fair estimate had to be updated when the crew arrived, while other customers specifically praised the way Nick discussed options during the work and communicated about scheduling. BBB lists the business as non-accredited with an A rating and reports license number HE-222235; that directory listing is a claim, not a state-registry verification. This looks like a good fit for homeowners who want one local crew for recurring yard maintenance and substantial outdoor/site work. Ask for a written scope, material allowances, and the exact licensing or permitting requirements for excavation, drainage, utilities, or driveway work before the job starts.
