Roger B Sturgis & Associates

Roger B Sturgis & Associates has been maintaining Framingham-area lawns and landscapes long enough that several customers now measure the relationship in more than a decade, and its founder picked up a regional industry honor — the Beacon Award from the Massachusetts Association of Landscape Professionals — back in 2014, according to local news coverage. BBB lists the business at 57 years old, though its current filing there names Anthony Lisa, not Roger Sturgis, as the sole proprietor; why the two names differ isn't explained anywhere here. What keeps people rehiring is fairly specific. Reviewers praise crews for knowing the difference between perennials and weeds, for staying reachable during snowstorms, and for fall cleanups that clear an acre of leaves at a time. One longtime customer singled out a specific crew member, Rame, for the care he takes assessing a lawn before working on it. The company has also handled tree pruning and one emergency tree removal for a multi-year client, alongside its core lawn and yard work. Two reviewers flagged real friction worth asking about. One said it can take several calls to lock in a firm date, guessing that bigger jobs get scheduled first. Another said it took months to repair lawn damage left by winter plowing, though they called that unusual rather than typical for the company. Neither complaint touches the quality of the actual landscaping. Its Houzz profile also lists hardscaping, patio design, and water-feature work, but with no reviews or project history behind those here, treat that as a stated capability rather than a proven one. This reads like a solid pick for ongoing lawn care, seasonal cleanup, and tree work from a crew multiple customers have kept using for a decade or more — just nail down a start date early if the job is time-sensitive.
