Guys work at chauncy 55+, sand and torn up sod all over the place from snow removal. These guys are butchers. Never have I brought more sand into my home than with these guys. I think they are being cheap with the rock salt and use or mix with sand. read more

BEWARE! Madrona will not live up to expectations and if you hire them, you'll be left with headaches! I hired Madrona in spring of 2021 to install a new paver patio around my pool. While the patio project came out decent (and it should when you spend the cost of a brand new car), they destroyed my yard in the process. Having really nice, manicured grass and landscaping before the project started, I knew my yard would get disturbed by installing the new pool deck, so I made sure to build into the contract scope that allowed Madrona to repair all of the grass to its prior state when the project was done - something the owner, Vicente, agreed to. A year later, Vicente refuses to honor the agreement in the contract and repair my terribly damaged yard that I've had to spend thousands of dollars in materials and my time trying to fix to date. When the project was wrapping up, several days after promised, the Madrona crew was rushing to get to their next job. What resulted was quickly throwing down some unscreened loam, cheap grass seed and no fertilizer. The soil was lumpy and filled with huge rocks which meant the grass didn't grow properly. It wasn't long before I realized just how dangerous the unscreened loam they used was - it was filled with glass, plastic, and other trash - a major safety concern in a yard where young children are barefoot and pets play. Throughout the project, I found Madrona's communication to be lacking. I was often left in the dark with regards to important details, or given updates with no advanced notice. The excavation crew was careless, causing a sizable rip in my pool liner when excavating the old concrete patio - something I had to pay out of pocket to repair with the pool company. Maybe the most alarming issue with the whole project is that the owner didn't take measurements before ordering pavers, and shockingly, they ran out of pavers before they completed the deck. Sort of reckless to not spend 10 minutes up front to take measurements. There are plenty of reputable hardscape companies out there. Do yourself favor and think long & hard before hiring Madrona Bros for your project. read more

Madrona came highly recommended via some people in town and I couldn't agree more with their thinking. They were very responsive, quick to come out for a quote, explained what they would do, gave me confidence they could do the job, and While I ultimately was unable to move forward with my project with them, but they were quite professional and would like to find a project for them in the future. read more

I met with a person who came out to assess the lawn and price for the service, the person was very friendly and was calm and nothing seem to be out of order, a very normal guy. And truck he drove was a somewhat beat-up white truck, so I thought the price will be reasonable. Instead of giving the quote on the spot, he has said "I will calculate my price and send it via email to you". The email promptly arrived, but the price! was extremely pricey for my standards. To mow the lawn and weed $828 per visit and extra $800 for taking care of bushes (or indicated $2391 per seasonal, don't think seasonal means more months but flexibility is more for his service not more savings for you, even divide by 3 months for the season it still comes out to be ~$800). thus, the total service per visit is about $1628+. My backyard is totally artificial turf, and half of my front yard is covered with dirt for the tree and mulch. I would say the total yard is about 1000 sqft give or take another 250 sqft. He may do a good job and he may not, but the price definitely is way up high on the skyscrapers level. Which was not what I was looking for anyhow, so I respectively declined. Thus, my 2 stars is based heavily on the price. $1628 per visit means if you have the guy visit 2 time a month its $3254+. which is $39048 or about $40,000 per year excluding any clean-up or other services. That is higher than I ever was quoted for yard maintenance in my 12 years living here in the house. I would only recommend these guys if you have money growing out the trees, if you are looking for good old yard-maintenance guys, these folk are not it. Nice guys but pricey. read more

I've been using Madrona Bros. for all my landscaping needs on my property in Sudbury for well over 10 years. Their service is impeccable and they do each and every job right the first time. I find that I get real value from all the work they do and my yard always looks impeccable. Last year they designed and installed a new front walkway with pavers and cobblestones and the workmanship is absolutely top notch. And I never have to worry about a warranty because Marcelo, Vincent and their crew always stand by their work. Regardless of the job or the time. This year, I decided to do a major renovation including a new lawn, sprinkler system, pollinator garden, extensive new shrub plantings, and new pathways. Tom Fletcher, their new Director of Landscape services designed and executed a plan that achieved EXACTLY what we wanted and most importantly, the plant material he specified actually belongs where he located them. That's the real benefit of having a professional landscape designer. Madrona also takes care of the plantings on a regular basis so no dead plants. Overall, I could not be happier with them. read more

We had an awesome experience with Madrona Brothers for a large hardscaping project on our property. The project involved rebuilding two railroad tie retaining walls - the smaller one we had done in fieldstone and the larger one done in preformed concrete block. The project was completed on time, despite the rain and the cold weather, and looks a billion times better than what was there before. The owner was also ok with us changing course when we asked to add steps to the fieldstone wall during the project. The bid was definitely competitively priced and right in line with other reasonable bids we had gotten, plus they had great reviews on another service website, so I figured they should have good reviews on Yelp too! We couldn't be happier with the work and are grateful to have found Vincent, thank you! read more

Working with Marcelo and team was excellent throughout the process of replacing my front walkway and back patio with bluestone. They also installed a fire pit and seating wall. When working through the initial estimate Marcelo was very helpful in describing the options I had for replacing my front walkway and back patio. The Madrona Brothers' estimate was competitive with other estimates I received. Marcelo was on site every morning to walk through the project with me and answer any questions I may have had. His team also dug a trench and worked with the plumbers to run a gas line for the fire pit which provided some unanticipated challenges which they were able to work through. Marcelo's team took care of every aspect of the job from raising some existing steps, leveling an existing kitchen set, redoing some heads on the sprinkler system, and reconnecting downspouts. Marcelo was also on site to provide quality control and identified that some of the wall caps were not up to standard and requested the supplier replace them. Marcelo also traveled to a fireplace store 45 minutes away to purchase additional hardware needed for the fireplace burner. They oversaw every aspect of the job and did so without consistently adding small charges along the way if items which required additional labor or materials cropped up. The finished product is nothing short of outstanding and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others. read more

They did our large back patio and small front walkway. Work was top notch, one of the owner borthers Marcello was on site every day...and even was on the jack hammer for a full day when we discovered unused foundation underneath where we were building! The pricing was very competitive and they're a great midsize place--big enough to do it right and get very personal service, not so big to overcharge and deal with a sales middle man. read more

Do not hire these guys! They charge an insane amount to mow the lawn and beat the crap out of it with huge mowers. Their workers are careless and dont know how to use a weedwacker or hedge trimmer. Their snow removal service is even worse. They set up stakes then run them over on the first storm, slam into fences then say they didn't do it. They also aim the snowblower towards the house and cover up your furnace vent for a surprise carbon monoxide breakfast. Avoid for your own safety and sanity. read more

I have a large lawn area and a hillside of perennials, shrubs and trees. Madrona has been doing my lawn mowing and basic care for years. I find they listen well to requests and correct any oversights. Just give them a call and your request is done. They are especially good at clean ups and transplantings. I have used a number of services over 30 years of landscaping and found them the most responsive. My neighbor uses a service that dumps debris in conservation land and food trash in the woods. Madrona would never do this. read more
