"We'd like everyone to know how happy we are with the work the Sweeney's crew did on our spring clean up and mulching! They worked very hard, did a beautiful job, and made our lives much easier! As my husband says, we always know what we can expect from Sweeney's so why even look elsewhere?!

Thanks for treating us like family!"

"I've personally been a Sweeny's customer for the last six years for my personal landscaping needs. Our community contracts with them to take care of our townhome community, both landscaping and snow removal. It has been a really good experience from both aspects. Their crews are very considerate and very respectful of our property and residents. They..." Read more

"Sweeneys cheated us during the last snowstorm. Charge $220 saying they shoveled 3 times. Tim the boss said it takes a crew 8 hours to do one round...so how did they get here 3 times and still unable to clear the drive? Other neighbors using their service had clear driveways.  We are seniors.  Rip off"

"Couldn't be happier with the job they did.  And it was a job... My backyard was in terrible shape.  It was transformed into a beautiful space where I can have people again.   Great work, fair prices, can't go wrong using Sweeney's for your next project."

"Sweeney's transformed my landscape from a 1/10 to a 10/10 (literally, we have folks stop and take photos of the front yard)!  The process was smooth, professional, and even enjoyable; from the first time calling the office and speaking with Maria to coordinate appointments, to working with Tim, who came up with a unique design with a beautiful variety of gra..."

"We started with dethatching of our lawn where other services offered aeration instead but there is a difference. Sweeney's did for us for what we wanted and that started us to inquire about their mowing and trimming program. Their workmanship was excellent. We should have had them trim the little bit that was left but we felt that my wife could finish becaus..." Read more

"I was really hoping for the best.  In fact their website says "We want you to be totally thrilled with our service...so absolutely delighted you will recommend us to your friends and neighbors."  Unfortunately that isn't the case.  Thrilled?  Heck, I'm the opposite - I'm....UN-thrilled?  ANTI-thrilled?  REVERSE-of-Thrilled?  Ok - truly Disappointed!!..."

"This company is reliable and gets the job done. I had to ask them to be careful about the way they move our lawn furniture, and if you have a wooden fence, beware, and ask that they be careful with their weedwackers. I've not had to mention it again!"

"An awful company that does not stand behind its work then tries to hide behind their online interface when you try to call them out on it.  If they see an unsatisfied customer they will screen their calls and literally never call you back.  The whole process started out great - getting an estimate, etc. and they seemed very promising, and I had very..."

"I wouldn't know what kind of job they do because they've never responded to my phone calls or emails.  They just want to have you sign their quote that comes immediately but they don't want to respond to questions like I might want more mowings than I'd originally thought I needed.  So much for trying to support local businesses.  The rating I clicked doesn'..."

"I used Sweeney Custom Landscaping this summer after I couldn't keep up with my own yard maintenance due to an illness in the family.  They gave me fair quotes for the work needing to be done and completed the work I chose to do in a timely manner and very well done. I was very pleased with their service. I will defintely call them again."

"Sweeney's has been doing our twice-monthly lawn care for going on three summers now. We also have them do the occasional odd landscaping job like edging, fertilizing, cleaning gutters and re-mulching flower beds. They've always been very communicative, prompt with estimates and answers to questions and generally helpful. We'll definitely continue to use thei..." Read more

No matter how much we took care of them they are continually dry, small, and wiltering away. The same flowers were planted by other landscapers in my neighborhood and they were mature, robust and grew strong. I explained all this to..." Read more
