Roger's Snow Removal and Landscaping Service

Roger's Snow Removal and Landscaping is a Boston-based operation — Roger Dunn runs it — that works snow clearing (shoveling, blowing, salting) and yard care across a wide swath of Greater Boston, including Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton and more than a dozen other towns. Across 36 Google reviews running from 2021 to 2026, two things come up again and again: responsiveness and follow-through. In a 2025 review, one customer described an urgent Saturday-night ice situation where a team of three or four showed up within an hour to clear a driveway, stairway and sidewalks. A 2023 review recalled Roger clearing sidewalks and walkways "all the way to the edge, which not all firms do." A 2025 review described trimming three overgrown forsythia bushes and a bamboo, shaping them and bagging the debris before cleaning up. Several customers describe using him for years running — a 2023 review said they'd used him for snow removal and lawn maintenance "for several years," another for leaf removal "for the past three or four years." He also picks up occasional handyman and painting work: a 2023 review described him sanding, scraping and repainting an entire front porch, railings, flooring and stairs. Three reviews break from that pattern. A 2022 review described a no-show for a scheduled sod installation, with Roger unresponsive to calls and texts afterward. A 2024 review described a handyman job — two minor fixes — done so poorly the customer had to hire someone else within three weeks to redo them. And a separate 2024 review of a yard-cleanup job described a pushy attitude and workers who blew bush clippings under another bush instead of bagging them, without realizing they were being watched. The company's own two websites don't quite agree on when it started — one says "Serving Since 2019," the other "Since 2020" — a minor point next to the years of largely strong reviews around it. Snow removal and landscaping don't require Massachusetts contractor registration, so there's no license question here; what's worth confirming upfront is exactly how storm billing works, since the company's own site describes prepaid or per-storm deposit terms.
