Rony's Landscaping, Inc.

Rony's Landscaping is a Middleton, Massachusetts outfit that says Rony, an immigrant from Guatemala, started the company in 2005 after being inspired by his father, and it's grown into a full landscaping, tree removal and masonry operation across the greater Boston area. With 89 reviews since 2021 and a 4.6-star average from 99 Google ratings, it has one of the deepest and most specific review records among tree and landscaping contractors in the area. The specifics are consistently detailed and often dramatic: crews climbing 80-100-foot pines to remove them piece by piece, a hand-pruned Japanese bonsai, a 14-by-100-foot retaining wall repaired after two other contractors couldn't get it right, and homeowners describing trucks parked on protective mats so heavy equipment doesn't tear up the lawn. Recent reviews from this year describe large, close-to-the-house trees taken down without incident, a two-day yard transformation involving stump removal, 160 feet of new PVC fencing and a dozen new arborvitae, and a paver walkway job where the crew came back afterward to reseed the disturbed grass. Multiple reviews describe emergency response after storms, same-day estimates, and jobs starting the next morning. Set against that record are a handful of accounts, spread across 2023 through this year, describing a different pattern: the company going quiet once a job is booked or a problem comes up. One 2023 review describes a large oak removal that left six holes in a recently redone lawn, with the reviewer unable to reach anyone afterward to fix it; another from the same year says stump-grinding debris was left behind, costing about $1,000 to clean up, and that a borrowed trash barrel was never returned despite repeated calls. A 2024 review describes being stood up for a scheduled job with no response to calls or messages, and a 2026 review describes the same thing happening at the estimate stage. Separately, a 2026 review describes a neighbor's doorbell camera catching a crew member relieving himself in their yard while working next door, an isolated but notable lapse in conduct. For tree removal, hardscaping or a substantial masonry project, the volume and specificity of positive accounts, including work other contractors turned down, point to a genuinely skilled crew. Given the recurring follow-up complaints, it's worth getting cleanup and damage terms in writing up front, and confirming a direct line to Rony himself if anything needs to be addressed after the crew leaves.
