West Meadow Landscaping is a Lowell-based crew led by Ken Silva, serving Lowell, Dracut, Chelmsford, Tyngsboro and Tewksbury with landscape maintenance for residential and commercial clients; the company states on its website that it's fully insured. Customers across five years of reviews describe the same thing: Ken personally answering the phone, giving a quick estimate, and showing up with a crew that gets the yard work done. Recent reviews describe a hedge cleared with a stump grinder and weeds selectively killed with herbicide before slice seeding, with timely, clear communication throughout. A July 2026 review said a seed-sliced lawn still looked great two and a half months later, and a May 2026 review — from a customer in their third year of hiring the company — said the crew is always on time, courteous, neat and professional. One August 2026 review, rated one star, described a 78-year-old customer doing extensive prep work themselves — pulling weeds, clearing pet waste, moving lawn furniture — in 90-degree heat, after having a wood-chip delivery proposal approved. The written history behind that goes back to 2021, when a review described Ken Silva restoring a lawn killed by grub worms and soil problems within five to six weeks. In between, reviews describe cutting down overgrown yews and hauling them for recycling, ripping out a garden and clearing large bushes and a tree with all debris hauled away, and a 2024 review noting a veteran discount was offered. Several reviews mention West Meadow handling snow removal in the winter alongside its growing-season landscaping work. West Meadow Landscaping holds a 4.9-star average on Google and an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau. For ongoing lawn maintenance, weed control or seasonal cleanups in the Lowell area, it's a strong call — just confirm up front who's expected to prep the yard and how, especially ahead of a hot-weather job.
Great experience all around. Courteous, knowledgable, and professional. Ken and his team delivered! They are now my 'go-to' for any future landscaping.
Our yard was overgrown with weeds, and we had an out-of-control hedge. Used a stump grinder to clear up the hedge and herbicide to selectively kill weeds followed by slice seeding. Provided helpful consultation after we described our issues, communication was timely and clear, arrived as promised, and did some above-and-beyond cleaning up after the job was completed.
I pulled every single weed, picked up any stray dog turds, and moved all the lawn furniture in preparation for Ken's crew to deliver and spread wood chips in my back yard. I'm 78 years old and it was 90 degrees. This, after OKing his proposal and then making multiple attempts to get him to commit to a day and time to do the job. He finally said he'd be there Wednesday, August 12 in the afternoon. He never showed up and never called. I texted him asking why. This time he actually phoned me back and apologized, telling me he forgot because he was so focused on some other job. I explained that I had gone to a great deal of effort to prepare my property for him and was just about to suggest a new date when he became defensive, telling me that no money had yet changed hands. I thought to myself that if he treated me this way before I paid him anything, how would he treat me after got my money? I decided then and there to go with a more reliable business and suggest you do the same.
I had an issue with my backyard. It had a rubble bed and wasn't level. After doing some research, I found West Meadow Landscaping. The owner responded quickly and was very knowledgeable. He and his team did an amazing job. What was once an eyesore is now a beautiful, captivating space. I couldn't be happier with the results.
Ken and his crew did a great job seed slicing my lawn. It’s been two and a half months and the lawn looks great. Very knowledgeable and provided prompt service.
