Viola Lawn Service & Landscaping, LLC says on its website that it can handle "all of your landscaping and maintenance needs" and reports 42 years in business. One recent customer said a new backyard patio was completed in less than a week: the crew started on a Thursday morning, had the area graded and prepped by mid-day Friday, and finished by noon on Wednesday. Afterwards the crew regraded and reseeded the back lawn where they had worked. A recent front-yard job removed the old landscaping, put weed barrier fabric in the flower beds, added topsoil and grass seed, and built a new brick paver sidewalk with a dark border; that customer said it was done at a very fair price. One customer said Viola spread up to 4 yards of landscape stone around a newly installed deck. A recent customer said Viola has done their spring and fall clean up for years, with staff who trim, mulch and weed. One recent customer, who has had many landscaping projects done over the past 5 years, said Josh had suggestions for design they would not have thought of. In a 2025 review, a customer said John and Josh met with them several times, took measurements and photos and provided a detailed design before turning a sloped backyard into a pool scape. A 2024 customer said Viola worked with them on paying the rest of an invoice while they sorted out billing with an insurance company, and never unduly pressured them. A 2022 customer said Viola installed a curtain drain for a backyard drainage issue along with a new paver walkway and sod, and that a slight hiccup with the irrigation system was worked out. A 2026 reviewer wrote that the company, contracted by Cromwell Hills Association for snow removal, was inadequately staffed, plowed snow up to people's front doors and into parking spots, and gave someone calling out sick as the excuse. A 2026 customer said one of the plows hit their car, scraping the whole side, and that calls and messages went unanswered for over a week. A 2026 customer said it took several days to plow out their home despite a contract. A 2026 reviewer thanked them for plowing their complex during and after 2 major snow storms. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0561037, as active, held by Viola Lawn Service.

We have used Viola Landscaping for many years for spring and fall clean-up and are extremely happy with their service. They do an excellent job and I highly recommend them.
Viola Lawn Service and Landscaping did an outstanding job installing a new patio in our back yard! From the proposal stage to the finished product, the staff was professional, worked very neatly, and was here every day during the creation of the patio. Afterwards the crew regraded and reseeded our back lawn in the area they were working in. We were also very happy with the time that it took to create the patio. The crew started on a Thursday morning, and by mid-day on Friday had the area graded and prepped, and were here bright and early each day after the weekend installing the patio, which was completed by noon on Wednesday. A beautiful patio was completed in less than a week! Thank You, Viola Lawnservice and Landscaping!
We couldn't be happier with the work that Viola Lawn Service & Landscaping did on our front yard! From the initial estimate to the completed project, everything was handled professionally, honestly, and at a very fair price. Our front yard had become overgrown with old shrubs, weeds, bushes, a diseased tree, and a deteriorating paver sidewalk that had definitely seen better days. The team completely transformed the space. They removed all of the old landscaping, installed quality weed barrier fabric in the flower beds along the house, added fresh topsoil and grass seed to the former garden area, and built a beautiful new brick paver sidewalk with a dark border that really makes it stand out. The transformation is incredible. Opening up the front yard has completely changed the look of our home and added so much curb appeal. The craftsmanship on the sidewalk is excellent, the cleanup was thorough, and the attention to detail throughout the project really shows. If you're looking for a landscaping company that provides fair pricing, quality workmanship, and takes pride in their work, I highly recommend Viola Lawn Service & Landscaping. We are extremely satisfied with the results and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for future projects.
The service was completed quickly. Communication was excellent. We are very happy with the work.
Viola Lawn Service did a fantastic job quickly replacing a few bushes and planting a small tree for us. The team was incredibly nice, and the work looks great!
