The company, owned by Oscar Rivera, lists Hartford, Granby, Avon, Bloomfield and Glastonbury as its service area, and Oscar Rivera has been quoted by a local news site on spring cleanups. Google shows 5 stars from 42 ratings. A recent customer says the front walkway was transformed, communication before and during the project was timely and consistent, and the crew kept things tidy. A recent 4-star customer says the company does good work but needs to work on consistent communication on projects. A 2026 customer said Rivera Brothers did a front and backyard makeover that cleared shrubbery and debris, regraded and resloped a hill and added new grass, and called the job fairly quoted. A 2026 customer said they called on the day of a blizzard and the company came out to clear the driveway. A 2025 customer said Oscar and crew built a new outdoor kitchen and added stone to the foundation to blend with its design. A 2025 customer with a wet backyard said the fix had downspouts feed water into the existing drain at the back of the property, plus a box moving water away from the sliders of a four-season room, completed in time for a 2-4 inch rainstorm. A 2025 customer described a stamped patio for a hot tub, surrounded along with a new rock retaining wall by bluestone chips and grasses, and said three workers spent a ten-hour day installing it; that 2025 customer's update said Oscar sealed a leak in their concrete foundation within one day. In a 2024 review, a customer said Oscar met with them within two days, planned a driveway job within a limited budget, and the work was done in one morning. A 2023 customer asked for two large arborvitaes to be replaced with dwarf shrubs and for a shrub bed walled with pavers, and said they were happy with the outcome. A 2022 customer said the company replaced a failed retaining wall with a new one.
““Do a spring cleanup before anything,” said Oscar Rivera, owner of Rivera Brothers Landscaping. “That will remove all the leaves and dead grass from the ground to get a fresh start.””
Does good work but needs to work on consistent communication on projects.
I couldn’t be happier with the work done by the Rivera Brothers Landscaping. The communication before and during the project was timely and consistent. The transformation of our front walkway is stunning and the crew was tidy/neat throughout the process. I will definitely work with them again and have already recommended them to friends.
We couldn't be happier with our experience. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, and always on time. They completely transformed our property with a beautiful patio, expert grading that completely reshaped our yard, and fresh sod that looks incredible. Their attention to detail and quality workmanship were evident every step of the way, and they kept the project moving exactly as promised. If you're looking for a reliable landscaper or hardscaper, I highly recommend them. Their landscaping, hardscaping, patio installation, grading, and sod installation exceeded our expectations. They take pride in their work, communicate well, and deliver outstanding results that truly enhance the look and function of your property.
Rivera Brothers Landscaping did an amazing job with a large project involving a a front and backyard makeover, clearing out existing shrubbery and debris, grading and resloping a hill on the property, along with new grass installation. Oscar showed clear expertise with every landscaping request that was raised, and his crew were well-prepared, timely and efficient in their work. The result was above and beyond my expectations, and completely fairly quoted with very reasonable rates that helped match the budget for this project. I would recommend them to anyone with home landscaping needs from a dependable company with competitive rates, and will definitely be reaching out again in the future.
Called them day of the blizzard and they were able to come out and clear my driveway. Also very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend!!
