Highlights
- Attentive communication — a 2021 review praised the owner's follow-through and care
- Local roots — owner has run the Lexington business since 2012
One five-star review, two local news quotes, and a dozen-plus years in Lexington make up the public record for Stratford Landscape Contracting — the outfit Chris Stratford started in 2012 after training in landscape contracting at UMass Amherst's Stockbridge School of Agriculture, in the town where he grew up. The company handles both routine landscape maintenance and landscape construction — patios, walkways, outdoor living spaces, and flower-bed design — for Lexington and nearby towns. The one review on file is specific: a 2021 five-star Google rating that praises Chris directly for staying in touch, flagging issues before they became problems, and following through on what he said he'd do — the reviewer noted they'd already tried two other landscapers before sticking with Stratford. Google's overall average sits at 4.5 stars, though from just two ratings. Chris also turned up in local news in 2022, quoted by WCVB and the Milford Daily News arguing against a proposed town ban on gas-powered leaf blowers — a sign of local standing more than a comment on his crew's work. Worth calling Chris directly to talk through a specific patio, walkway, or maintenance job and ask for references, since the written history here runs to a single account.
