Santana's Landscape

Santana's Landscape works out of Lowell, Massachusetts, doing landscaping alongside a heavy slate of masonry and hardscape work — stone walls, patios, walkways, stairs, driveways, fireplaces — plus general yard cleanup. The standout detail is longevity: a 2019 Houzz review described a job by "Ronnie" and his crew that still looked good ten years on, with the crew returning for follow-up projects and several neighbors hiring them off word of mouth alone. That's the kind of endorsement that's hard to fake. Its written reviews run from 2017 to 2019 — just two on file, and they point in different directions. The other one describes being told a job would happen, then, after a month and a half of waiting, being informed the crew was too busy and to find someone else, with winter setting in before any work was done. Worth asking about before hiring: current scheduling and a firm start date. The one complaint on record was about getting bumped for other work, and nothing on Houzz since 2019 speaks to whether that's still an issue. Santana's does list a Houzz Badge credential on its profile.
