Rose Landscape & Design, Inc.

Next-day estimate, contract signed, fence finished inside a week — that is how a November 2025 Angi reviewer described hiring Rose Landscape & Design after a friend's referral. The Abington company says it works the South Shore, pairing landscaping and fencing with hardscape construction — patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits — plus seasonal cleanups and snow removal, and its site names Abington and Marshfield as the service area. Two names come up. Five of the reviews name Jose and his crew as the people on site; the Thumbtack background-check credential is in the name of Katherine Griffiths, and a July 2025 customer thanked "Katherine and team" for work they called reasonably priced. A 2024 Thumbtack reviewer described the company as women-owned. Showing up when promised is what customers keep writing about. A March 2024 reviewer said start and finish came exactly as planned on a vinyl fence with front pavers and granite stairs, with no mess left behind, and wrote that Jose warranties his work. Another March 2024 customer had five yards of bark mulch spread with no spillover that held up through heavy rain, and a third got same-day availability. In March 2025 a homeowner who hired them to clear backyard brush said the crew arrived on time and stayed inside the agreed budget. One customer's experience ran the other way, and it is specific. In a one-star Angi review posted in May 2025, a homeowner wrote that a fall cleanup the previous autumn ruined their flowers — most did not come up the following year — and that hemlock mulch was asked for but black mulch delivered; when the company said it would fix it, the black mulch was dumped in the back yard. That is the single one-star inside Angi's 4.6 average across 11 reviews; Thumbtack shows 5.0 across five. One practical note before calling: Thumbtack's profile currently marks the company unavailable for fence and gate installation, even though fencing anchors its Angi and HomeAdvisor listings and much of the praise. For a fence, a mulch job or a yard cleared on a tight schedule on the South Shore, this is a small outfit — three employees by its Thumbtack profile — with a run of on-time, tidy jobs behind it. Put the details in writing: which mulch and how much of it, what the cleanup includes, how a callback gets handled, and whether fencing is on their calendar right now.
