Wagner Landscaping is a Burlington, Massachusetts crew that homeowners keep hiring back — several reviewers describe working with them for five or six years running, and one customer says they've used the company since 2010, not long after it started. The company, run by Derek Wagner, carries an A+ Better Business Bureau grade and has been in business 16 years, according to its BBB profile.
The thing that comes up again and again is trust in the estimate and the billing. A 2026 review describes Derek turning around a written quotation within 24 hours that broke out materials and hours for every task — detailed enough that the homeowner could follow along. Another customer recalls a job that turned out not to be needed; Derek wrote to say he was taking it off the bill rather than charging for it anyway. That kind of account sits alongside the routine praise: weekly mowing, spring and fall cleanups, careful mulching with crisp edging, and installs that go beyond lawn care — a 2022 review describes a new lawn, walkway and driveway project the crew handled start to finish, with quick answers to questions along the way. A 2023 review describes clearing the perimeter of a house and laying stone chips to replace overgrown shrubs, on top of regular mowing and fall leaf clearing.
The written record is unusually deep for a landscaper — 23 reviews from 2022 through 2026 averaging 4.8 stars on Google — and unusually consistent: every review on file is five stars, and the words that keep repeating are reliable, responsive and honest rather than any single dramatic save. Reviewers name Derek directly often enough that the company clearly runs on his own involvement with clients, not just a rotating crew.
There's no documented complaint or licensing issue to flag here — Massachusetts exempts landscaping-only contractors from home improvement contractor registration, so the absence of a state license isn't a mark against them. The one thing worth confirming before booking is scope and timing for larger installs (new lawns, walkways, driveways) versus the recurring maintenance work, since the written record leans heavily toward the latter.
Wagner is a solid call for ongoing yard care in the Burlington area — mowing, cleanups, mulching — from a crew whose clients tend to stick around for years, and worth asking about for a hardscape or new-lawn project given the walkway-and-driveway work on record.
