Surrounding's Landscaping

Surrounding's Landscaping is a New Bedford, Massachusetts crew built around one name customers keep repeating: Mike. Owner Michael Montigny's outfit has racked up 36 reviews since 2017 across Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor and BBB, and the newest run is close to spotless — 15 reviews in the past six months, all of them five stars. Google carries the bulk of the record at 4.7 stars from 37 ratings, and the specifics repeat: prompt arrivals, clear communication, and thorough cleanup. A 2026 review describes Michael's tree-trimming team pruning apple trees and clearing every bit of debris afterward; a 2024 review says the crew handled fall cleanup — leaves, cut perennials, weeded beds — on a 3-acre South Dartmouth property, and another 2024 review reports six straight years maintaining the grounds at a set of residential rental buildings. On price, several reviewers land on the same word — reasonable — with one saying larger companies had quoted more in the past and another calling it the best price in town, though a 2026 review flagged the pricing as high despite praising the communication. The written record isn't spotless. A 2024 review describes a lot-cleaning job where debris ended up dumped on a neighbor's property, calling the work unprofessional; a 2022 review says the crew showed up to start a job unannounced after the scope had already been confirmed by email. Both are real, dated accounts worth knowing about even against the overwhelming run of five-star reports before and since. The BBB lists Surrounding's Landscaping at an A+ grade (not accredited) and eight years in business, covering landscape design, landscaping maintenance and lawn care. Anyone hiring Surrounding's Landscaping for lawn care, cleanups or tree work is dealing with a crew people keep calling back — some reviewers span years of repeat use — but it's worth confirming pricing up front and being clear about where debris and cleared materials will go before the crew starts.
