Quality Landscape

Ask about Quality Landscape in Revere and one name keeps coming back: Louie. Across two dozen HomeAdvisor accounts written between 2013 and 2020, homeowners describe the owner turning up himself for the estimate, quoting on the spot, and putting a crew on the yard within the week. The company gives its address as 42 Hutchinson Street in Revere and says it has been at this since 1992. The written record is uniformly warm and uniformly old. HomeAdvisor carries a 4.8 average across 30 ratings, 93% of them five stars, and the newest review on file was posted in May 2020. In a 2019 review, one homeowner said Louie's team transformed both the front and back yards within a week of giving the quote. A 2017 customer wrote that after shrub cleanup, edging, plantings and rock work, "My home looks like it came out of Better Homes and Gardens." A 2016 reviewer put it more bluntly: "Lou is a little gruff at first but he is all business and gets the job done." The work people kept coming back for is sod, planting, seasonal clean-ups and shrub trimming — the same mix HomeAdvisor lists for the company, alongside general lawn maintenance and yard-and-garden installs. One substantive criticism is worth carrying into the phone call. A 2019 customer who designed her own rock garden and needed 13 tons of stone praised the speed and the finished look, but said the crew was "limited in knowledge of horticulture." If your project leans on plant selection rather than turf and stone, probe that. Landscaping-only work is exempt from Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, so there is no state badge to look for here. Six years without a written account is the real caveat: crews change, and nothing on file speaks to how the company runs today. If you want the shop neighbors kept rehiring through the 2010s for sod, clean-ups and planting, ask for recent local references — and ask who is running the crew now.
