Sunset Landscaping

Sunset Landscaping, a family-owned Leicester company under owner Michael Novia, has built its Worcester County reputation on hardscaping as much as lawn care — reviewers repeatedly point to patios, retaining walls, walkways, and outdoor fireplaces built cleanly and, in more than one case, remarkably fast. The reviews from 2024 through 2026 describe a pattern of repeat business: one Angi reviewer says they've contracted Sunset for three projects and were quoting a fourth as of a 2024 review; another describes hiring the company twice, first for small stonework and later for a full patio and fireplace. Turnaround gets specific praise too — one 2025 review describes a patio quoted on a Monday and completed four days later. Several December 2025 reviews describe a crew led by Nate handling both hardscaping and general lawn care, with recurring mentions of a responsive, family-owned operation. Two things are worth a quick note. The company's own site says it's been established over 24 years, while its Angi profile lists seven years of experience — a real gap between the two accounts worth asking about directly. And in a 2018 Thumbtack review, a customer described no follow-through after repeated calls and messages; that's the one negative account on file, and every review since, across four sources, has been positive. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. For hardscaping, excavation, or general landscaping in Worcester County, Sunset Landscaping has a consistently strong recent record, with the kind of repeat-customer pattern that's hard to fake.
