Yard general provides consistent high quality professional and timely service at a fair price. The communication is good and friendly and you know you’re in good hands with them.

We hired Yard General during the summer 2020 for the first time (we are a condo association in Somerville MA). I wished we had known Magaiver at Yard General years ago!

After using this company at one of our properties and seeing the amazing results we decided to hire them on a regular basis for all of our properties. They do an incredible job of maintaining and beautifying our front and back yards. Very reasonably priced for great quality work and professionalism. I highly recommend them.

I’ve hired Magaiver to do a range of work on my property from regular lawn care to helping me clean and prep the property before and after the season. He is A+ on communication, prompt, does great work, and doesn’t charge a premium for his services. He is also an extremely nice person! I would highly recommend his services to anyone.
