Verified record
Scotts Landscaping runs out of 21 Phillips Ave in Swampscott, and its written history comes down to one Google review from July 2019 — a rough one. That 2019 reviewer described walking into a community center where the crew was working, getting hit twice by flying debris, and coming back to two fresh paint chips on their car. When they called it in, they wrote, the owner turned defensive and told them they were making it up: "insulting, condescending, and rude" is how they finished it. One account from seven years ago is not a verdict on how the company works now, but it is the whole of the written record, and Google shows 1 star from that single rating. There is not enough here to put a number on the business, so none is published. If you are weighing them, ask for two or three recent local references you can actually call, and settle in advance who is responsible for site protection and cleanup on a job near cars or walkways.
Probably the rudest business owner I’ve run across. I would NEVER use his services. His workers were on site at a community center and while walking into the facility I was hit twice by flying debris. When I later returned to my vehicle I had two new paint chips on a pristine coat of paint. I called to inform Scott (very calmly) and he was immediately defensive and told me essentially I was making it up. Why would I bother calling him to give him a fake story? Anyway he was insulting, condescending, and rude. Now I know why my neighbors fired him. I’ll now certainly actively speak to my other neighbors and encourage them to follow suit.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Scotts Landscaping. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
