Valente Landscape and Design

Reliable, and reasonable on price — those two words keep coming back about Ray, who runs Valente Landscape and Design out of 24 Winthrop St in Marlborough. A November 2023 customer who found him through a friend hired him for leaf pickup and said his rates were fair. A September 2021 reviewer called him reliable and good value; an August 2021 one said the same about his reliability and was happy with how the lawn came out. Despite the name, what the company sells is seasonal maintenance rather than design work. Its Angi listing covers spring and fall clean-ups, mowing and lawn care, tree trimming, snow removal and yard-waste hauling, with twelve projects on the page and five years of stated experience. The written record runs August 2021 to November 2023 — four reviews, every one of them five stars. Worth knowing: the HomeAdvisor page is not a second opinion on that. It carries the same four reviews and the same 5.0 average as the Angi profile, so one small set of customers is behind both scores. For mowing, clean-ups and a winter snow contract around Marlborough, Ray is worth a call, especially if a neighbor already uses him. If your job is planting or design rather than maintenance, ask what he has done recently at that scale and for the names of those customers.
