Simple Greens Landscaping

Simple Greens Landscaping is a Saugus-based crew that homeowners across the North Shore keep calling back, spring after spring, for years at a stretch — several reviewers describe eight-plus-year runs with the same team. The company says it has served the North Shore and Greater Boston since 2008, and owner Troy Ingemi still runs the day-to-day: reviewers name him directly as the one answering calls and walking the crew through a job. Reviews build a deep, consistent story across 2013 to 2026 on Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor and BBB — Google alone shows 4.6 stars from 79 ratings, Angi 4.9 from 17, HomeAdvisor 4.9 from 9. The recurring jobs are spring and fall cleanups, mulching, shrub pruning and mowing, with hardscape work like patios, retaining walls and fences showing up regularly too. When a retaining wall the crew built began to shift within six months, a 2025 review describes Troy tearing it down and rebuilding it at no charge, without being asked twice. Two things are worth asking about before booking. A 2025 Google review and a 2022 one both flag long, loud leaf-blower sessions — one says nearly an hour of continuous blowing on a residential street. And a 2024 review from a condo association reported that its snow-removal contract was billed more often than the agreed accumulation triggers, with charges the association didn't expect. Neither touches the quality of the landscaping itself, but both are worth confirming in writing before signing a maintenance or snow contract. This is a fit for a homeowner who wants a steady crew for recurring lawn and yard work, or a hardscape project like a patio, wall or fence, and who values an owner who's still reachable directly. Before hiring, pin down the snow-removal billing terms if that's part of the job, and ask about scheduling around noise-sensitive hours if leaf blowing is a concern.
