What do customers say?

Pepper's earns high marks for landscape design, masonry, and overall responsiveness. Rich and his team are praised repeatedly for creativity, clean execution on complex projects, and willingness to photograph and explain options before starting. However, recent lawn-care visits have left some customers frustrated: hurried work that damages existing plantings and requires re-do visits, plus a documented complaint about staff conduct on-site and management defensiveness when issues were raised.

  • design expertise and plant selection
  • masonry and hardscaping quality
  • responsive communication
  • crew professionalism and hard work
  • attention to detail

NV Landscaping earns strong marks for design work, masonry, and snow removal. Most recent reviews praise their responsiveness and skill. One detailed year-old complaint describes repeated no-shows and wrong chemical applications on a full maintenance contract, though the business has since resolved that relationship. Strong performance on project work; ongoing maintenance track record is more mixed.

Recent reviews paint a conflicted picture. A one-star complaint about phone manner arrived 7 months ago, while an older two-star review noted the owner hung up on a prospect seeking commercial snow removal. An eight-year-old five-star account, however, praised Filiberto Vazquez's detail work, punctuality, and fairness on hardscaping and paver installation in Milford.
