After 10 years of owning this home, there is one thing that has been the most consistent and positive experience, and that has been working with Riddle landscaping. Colby, the owner is easily the nicest, friendliest and honest individual. I’ve worked with in a very long time. He goes out of his way to help And I can’t express my appreciation enough.

1/31/26: Our condo association in S. Boston has used Colby’s snow removal services for many years and we have been consistently pleased with how attentive and detailed he and his team have been for us. Of note was this recent winter storm where we received close to 2 feet of snow. Due to our location, there is always plenty of high winds and big snow drifts…and very close quarters here to maneuver around and pile up the snow. Colby and his crew returned twice over the course of the storm to clear us completely out, including our sidewalks. Colby also is very receptive to helping ensure we stay within our snow removal budget and works with us over the course of the season. He’s easy to contact and gets back in touch with us quickly if we reach out. We highly recommend his services.

Colby and his team are fantastic!! They do such a great job on landscaping and once they are done everything looks so pristine.
They really helped my family out in a bind when a tree recently fell in the yard and when I reached out to Colby he said they would take care of it. They sure did! They did a remarkable job!
I am very grateful! They are a great company and would highly recommend them.

Excellent service. Will absolutely use in the future. The Riddle team was incredibly reliable ( coming on the day they said they would) and detail oriented. We hired them to clean flower beds that were very difficult to acces that were overgrown with weeds on high hills. Not only did the team navigate the barriers, but they were able to recognize what plants and bushes were salvageable and which to get rid of. It came out better than we ever dreamed.

Colby and his team did a great job. I needed a long overdue clean up, hedges trimmed way back and early tree growth removed from between hedges. He also removed 2 additional overgrown vines and weeds.
He showed up when he said he would, sent pictures of completed work and charged a fair price. Below is the finished work, I do t have before pictures but trust me, it was atrocious. Highly recommend. He swill be maintaining my yard moving forward.
