Riverside Services is a Southborough, Massachusetts landscaping company serving residential and commercial clients across the greater Boston area and multiple New England states. Its services include landscape maintenance, irrigation, design, fencing, snow removal, estate care, parking-lot sweeping, masonry, lighting, and related outdoor work; a company profile describes it as nearly 50 years old. The customer record is mixed and has become more negative recently. Reviews from 2022 and 2024 praise precise landscaping, pool maintenance, responsiveness, professional teams, and follow-through. In 2025 and 2026, three reviews raise vehicle-safety concerns, including phone use, speeding, and driving behavior; a detailed May 2026 review also describes missed lawn treatments, poor trimming and edging, and weak communication during an initial spring cleanup. Google lists 3.9 stars from 28 ratings. Riverside Services may fit commercial or residential landscape maintenance, irrigation, design, fencing, and snow-removal work, but the recent complaints merit a detailed service discussion. Confirm the maintenance schedule, quality-control process, communication contact, vehicle-safety expectations, pricing, and how missed work is corrected before signing.

Horrible drivers, one of their workers was on his phone and almost caused a massive accident.
Avoid this company if you value reliability and quality care. Initial Review (April 2026):We recently signed on as a new account, expecting a company to put its best foot forward. Unfortunately, that has not been the case. The initial spring cleanup was highly disappointing: Missed treatments: Failed to apply the early pre-emergent treatment. Neglected trimming: Did not trim during the cleanup, leaving grass over 6 inches long in multiple areas.Sloppy work: Edged the property poorly and threw dirt directly over our brand-new mulch. No communication: Continually failed to provide a schedule for upcoming services. Verdict at the time: Terrible so far, but we shall see... Update (August 2026):The service has only grown worse. Over the last few months, they have consistently demonstrated a complete lack of care: Skipped visits: Completely missed scheduled services. Incomplete work: Mowed only half of the property during visits. Reckless mowing: Rushed through the job too fast, leaving visible tire marks across the lawn, grass not cut. Unresponsive: Entirely ignored our attempts to contact them. Avoid this company if you value reliability and quality care.
It would be beneficial for someone to address the matter of adhering to speed limits with their drivers. The driver of vehicle L95-399 today was observed driving at 30 mph in a 45 mph zone between Wrentham and Blackstone, which caused a traffic delay. While it is good that they were not speeding, impeding the flow of traffic can also pose a safety risk.
Jason was phenomenal! I highly recommend his teams services, they are very professional and responsive. Would highly recommend!
You should speak to your employees about speeding down Southboro Route 9 especially in a work trucj with your info on it!!
