Steve's Services Landscaping & Snow Removal is a Malden, Massachusetts outfit that reads almost entirely as one thing: an owner who shows up. Across three dozen Google reviews, one name comes up again and again — Steve Sylva, described on the company's own site as on-site for almost every job. The company says it handles landscape maintenance, lawn installation, irrigation, hardscaping, masonry and commercial snow work across Malden, Everett and nearby towns — Burlington, Danvers, Lynnfield, Medford, Melrose, North Reading, Reading, Revere, Saugus, Stoneham, Wakefield, Winchester and Woburn — tracing back nearly three decades to an earlier name, Steve's Lawn Care Services.
The written history is unusually consistent for a landscaping company: every one of the 32 Google reviews on file is five stars, running from 2023 through mid-2026, with five posted in the last six months alone. The same themes repeat — quotes turned around within a day, crews that finish spring and fall cleanups quickly, and Steve handling communication personally. In a 2025 review, a customer described a paver patio and retaining wall finished in time for a family graduation party; in a 2024 review, another described excavating a 30-foot area and laying the base for a patio and retaining wall; and reviews from 2025 and 2023 each mention a French drain installation. Google shows 5 stars from 45 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau grades the business A+ — though the BBB page notes it is not a BBB-accredited business.
One detail worth squaring away before booking: the Better Business Bureau's profile lists the business as based in Everett and operating since 1995 (31 years), while the company's own site says it's based in Malden with 29 years in business — close but not identical, and likely a location or naming change somewhere along the way. Beyond that, no complaints or negative reviews appear among the 32 on file.
For routine lawn care, seasonal cleanups, irrigation, or a hardscape job like a patio or retaining wall in the Malden/Everett area, Steve's Services has an unusually deep run of five-star accounts behind it — worth confirming current scheduling, since much of the work described leans on Steve's own availability.
