Williams Landscaping Handyman Service

Williams Landscaping Handyman Service is a New Bedford outfit run by Whynton Williams, who goes by Alex, doing landscaping, lawn care, and handyman work, with his father-in-law Gary sometimes on the job too. The reviews here split sharply: real praise for outdoor cleanup work sits next to detailed accounts of jobs left unfinished. In an October 2020 review, a customer describes him clearing more than 200 feet of heavy overgrowth along a property line, calling him and Gary easy to work with, punctual, and tidy afterward. A December 2020 review, from a different customer, describes prompt, high-quality work and says they planned to hire him again. Two other reviews describe a very different experience. A November 2020 review says a job was left unfinished while he kept asking for more money, and that he was rarely at the site while helpers did most of the work. A July 2022 review describes being asked for payment upfront, sessions that lasted only 30 to 45 minutes with recurring excuses to leave, complaints about a separate day job, and a request for gas money — the job was never finished, and the customer had to pay someone else to complete it. A December 2023 review describes vinyl flooring, a new wall, and a tiled shower that came out uneven and warped, calling the work unskilled. His listed services are landscaping, lawn care, and power washing — the flooring and tiling job above falls outside that scope entirely. For yard cleanup or landscaping specifically, the positive reviews describe real, careful work; for anything involving payment upfront or a job outside basic landscaping, the two accounts of unfinished work and demands for more money are serious enough to ask hard questions before hiring, and to avoid paying in full before the job is done.
