Sarceno Rivera Company

Sarceno Rivera Company is a small Waltham landscaping outfit run by William, and the homeowners who wrote about it name him and his crew directly — one 2022 reviewer called them a small family business that takes the work seriously. Its Angi profile puts nine years of experience behind it, offers free estimates, notes that Spanish is spoken, and says there is no emergency service and no warranty; the work listed is wood fence installation, lawn care and mowing, and sod installation. The written accounts run 2021 to 2023, and most of them are about yards being put back in order. In an August 2021 review a homeowner called their yard an overgrown jungle and described the crew working without a break, pulling weeds out by the roots. A May 2021 customer had a new patio area built, the lawn reseeded, bushes pruned and mulch laid, and said William and Jacilyn answered promptly and gave a cost estimate that proved accurate. That April, another homeowner had old shrubs pulled, loam added and new shrubs planted, and described William as a careful listener who finished on time; a second April 2021 review mentions a stone wall and plantings. The two newest, both from August 2023, are one-liners — prompt and thorough, prompt and knowledgeable. One account runs the other way. An August 2021 reviewer rated the company half a star, saying the crew did not come out every two weeks as contracted, that prices changed, and that the job was done poorly. Angi's distribution puts 89% of its 19 ratings at five stars and 5% at one. For seasonal yard work around Waltham — a cleanup, plantings and mulch, sod, or a wood fence — this is a reasonable call, and the estimate comes free in English or Spanish. If you are signing up for recurring maintenance rather than a one-off job, get the visit interval and the price per visit in writing, because that is exactly what the half-star review describes going wrong.
