Pessini Landscaping Inc.

On Google, Pessini Landscaping holds a 5-star average across 135 ratings — a rare thing for a company this size, and one that holds up across four years of reviews. It's based in South Dennis and run day-to-day by Sebastian Pessini, who reviewers describe showing up in person for design walk-throughs and estimates rather than sending someone else. The company grew in 2024 by taking over Acorn Landscaping's book of clients — homeowners who'd used Acorn for nearly 30 years describe an easy handoff, with the same weekly crew attention continuing under the Pessini name. Across 113 tracked reviews since 2023, two things keep coming up: a fixed weekly schedule that runs April through November, and a fast response when weather turns. One review describes the crew clearing a quarter-mile private drive and four separate properties at Sunset Ridge after a February snowstorm, cutting up downed trees before plowing everyone out; another describes the same kind of blizzard cleanup elsewhere on the Cape. Beyond routine mowing and irrigation work, several homeowners single out bigger hardscape jobs — a bluestone patio rebuild, a brick walkway, a driveway relaid in cobblestone — as the work that pulled them away from a previous landscaper. Not every job has gone smoothly. In a November 2024 review, a customer said Pessini quoted three visits to thatch, aerate, and overseed a third-acre lawn and shut down the irrigation system for the season, but compressed everything except the system shutdown into about two hours, leaving bare patches after aeration, for a bill just under $1,000. The company's response, as described in the review, was that the quote's wording never promised three visits — a disagreement the reviewer didn't accept. It's the only negative account in 113 reviews on file, but worth pinning down in writing (visit count, scope, price) before signing on for anything bigger than routine maintenance. The rest of the record is five stars straight through, including eight more reviews in the last six months with no complaints among them. Pessini looks like the right call for an ongoing weekly-maintenance relationship — mowing, irrigation, fall cleanup, first response after a storm — and for smaller hardscape upgrades like a patio or walkway; get specifics in writing for a large one-time renovation.
