Solution Driven Landscaping, Inc.

Two customers writing in September 2022 said the same thing about Solution Driven Landscaping: it was the only company that showed up when it said it would. One of them had called around for help with badly overgrown shrubs and got nobody else out to look at the job. The Marlborough company describes itself as a full-service landscaping, hardscape and snow-management outfit working residential and commercial properties across Massachusetts, co-founded by Sebastiao and Kristin Paiva, a married couple who met working at a landscape and snow company before starting their own. The written accounts run from 2021 to 2024 and split between stonework and taking back neglected ground. An August 2024 reviewer had a stone wall, walkway and front steps built and called the run from concept to completion smooth and well communicated; a September 2021 customer had a paver walkway installed and bushes trimmed. The other half is clearing: knotweed, poison ivy and bittersweet pulled out of a front yard left alone for decades in a September 2021 review, and an overgrown yard knocked back for new owners in one from August 2021. Google shows 4.5 across 15 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau, which records the corporation as incorporated 6/17/2020 with 18 employees, grades it A+. One September 2021 customer rated them 1★ over noise, writing that the lawn crew ran the loudest equipment available and shouted to each other over it. If your house sits close to a neighbor's, that is the thing to raise before the first cut. An August 2021 Angi reviewer hit a miscommunication and said the team was out the next day to sort it. Its profiles describe its experience differently — twenty-two years in the industry on Houzz, six years of experience on Angi and HomeAdvisor, against that 2020 incorporation date — so ask directly how long the crew that would work on your property has been doing this kind of job. Angi and HomeAdvisor also list memberships in the National Association of Landscape Professionals and the Snow and Ice Management Association. A reasonable call for a hardscape build — a wall, a walkway, front steps — or for pulling an overgrown property back into shape, with snow work carried into the winter. The written accounts run 2021 to 2024, so ask to see a recent job like yours, and settle crew hours up front if noise matters where you live.
