Free lawn mowing through GreenCare for Troops earned Sunshine Landscaping a recommendation from an October 2024 customer, who said the company had cared for their lawn that summer. A June 2024 customer using Sunshine for yard and snow maintenance praised the work and said last-minute requests could usually be fitted in within a day or so. Sunshine says Stephen Crowe founded the business in March 1982 and incorporated it in January 2014. Its website describes landscaping, lawn care, horticultural maintenance and snow removal in Worcester and surrounding Massachusetts towns. The company reports 44 years in business and lists Massachusetts landscape-professional, horticulturist and pesticide-applicator credentials, along with landscape-association affiliations. Other customers described specific problems. In August 2024, a neighbor of a vacant lot said Sunshine had repeatedly blown garbage, leaves and debris through or against their fence into their backyard instead of cleaning the lot. An August 2022 reviewer said they had previously used Sunshine for seven years, but a later estimate appointment went wrong: they said the representative never came to the door, a woman on the phone shouted that they did not want the customer's business, and owner Steve Crowe did not respond to an email about it. A September 2021 customer said the lawn at their multifamily property remained weedy after they retained Sunshine for a year, with mowing every two weeks for about 15 minutes. That customer also described a season of plowing that left them shoveling afterward, although the company showed up every time. They separately reported that Sunshine had broken a neighbor's fence and pulled up edging stones before their purchase of the property. Google reports 3.8 stars from 17 ratings. BBB lists an A+ grade and non-accredited status.

Sunshine mowed my lawn for free this summer through the GreenCare for Troops program. They were always friendly, professional, and did a great job taking care of my lawn. I would definitely recommend their services!
Had to leave a review. I live behind a vacant lot and this company, for years, has REPEATEDLY blown garbage and debris from the lot into my backyard rather than cleaning it up like they are hired. It happened again about 5 minutes ago. Instead of blowing the debris and leaves towards the street (which they’d actually have to clean up) they choose to blow it against/through my fence and then it all becomes my problem. If you’re going to take a job maintaining a lot, stop making the litter you should be cleaning up MY and my neighbors responsibility. Next time you return I will be over the fence making sure you stop doing it. Blow to the west, not the east. I’ve had it.
We use Sunshine for yard and snow maintenance. They always do a good job, and can usually fit last minute requests in within a day or so.
Used Sunshine for 7yrs they WERE fantastic. Had to stop using—Fast forward 5 yrs…called for a estimate, guy was coming out…never came to door, never made an attempt… etc. called and asked what happened. An EXTREMELY rude woman screamed at me that I wasn’t home & I said I was and she screamed WE DO T WANT YOUR BUSINESS & slammed down the phone!!! So much for repeat business. I emailed the owner Steve Crowe & explained the situation and asked for him to at least respond back and he did not…. I am shocked at how BAD this company is now and how they treat customers. DO NOT use them!!! With the economy headed downward, they will be out of business sooner than later… Too bad they just don’t give a s*** —- their loss!!
Purchased a Multi-family that had the lawn taken care of for years previous to the purchase by Sunshine Landscaping and was plowed seasonally by them as well. The yard is a patch of weeds broken up with the occasional dead spot. I kept them on for a year and it's still a weed patch. My personal experience with their service was that they show up once every two weeks to mow for 15 mins and nothing else. I cancelled my service with them and never looked back. As for their plow service. They broke the neighbors fence and pulled up the edging stones before I purchased the property. I also kept the plow service for 1 season after the purchase and found the service mediocre at best. Half-hearted tries to get everywhere the snow fell and absolutely never did more then one pass. I often had to shovel afterwards just to get by. Though they did show up every time. I'd highly recommend looking elsewhere.
