Ryan Landscaping & Lawn Care

I did quite a bit of work with Joe Ryan this year both landscaping, grass seeding and mulching. It was a complete displeasure working with him. Joe has zero communication skills and never let me know once beforehand that he would be at my property. He charged top dollar for dirt/fill that was mostly rocks and his grass seed and plantings were subpar. I would not use him again for anything.

I would not recommend this business. Shame on me for not asking for written estimate with break down of labor and materials cost. I was headed out of town for a month and needed landscaping done while I was gone. Verbally quoted me 4k for removing two Alberta Spruces, weeding beds, mulching, and installing 3/4 inch stone around side of house, deck, small shed, and outdoor fire pit area. The worker didn’t even dig down 4 inches before putting stone down. He just put tarp on ground and put stone over it. Edging was not done and they left roots sticking above ground from removed spruces. They were supposed to install wood chips around back tree line but never did. When I complained they told me they fired the worker. I had a final payment of $1500 due so they came back and did a minimum amount of improvements in order to make things look ok. They never re-did the stone work that was laid on top of the ground. This was in September/October of 2023. The grass grew up through the rocks and I ended up having to re-do most of the work myself this year. The owner does not seem to care about the quality of his work or reputation.

He took care of my home in Pittsfield.
