Highlights

- Early starts — neighbors describe several blowers going at 7am
- Crew manner — one reviewer says workers were dismissive when asked
- Ratings all negative — Google's four ratings average one star
Every written account of Di Pietro Joseph A comes from a neighbor rather than a customer, and Google's four ratings average one star. They converge on a single subject: gas leaf blowers. A reviewer writing in July 2024 said the crew ran gas blowers in Swampscott from late May through the end of that July — the stretch when the town's bylaw prohibits them — arriving around 7am every Tuesday. Another reviewer that same month described several blowers going at once at the same hour, wrote that workers told them to take a hike when asked about it, and mentioned an elderly relative with heart trouble on the block. In August 2025 a third reviewer said the practice was still going and pointed out that the business is based in town, so it should know the rule. All three are neighbors describing what they hear on the street, not customers describing a job they paid for. Read this as a picture of how the crew operates on a block, not of how a lawn or planting turns out. If your street is on their route, or you're thinking of hiring them, raise scheduling and equipment first: what time crews start, and what they run during Swampscott's seasonal gas-blower ban. If early mornings matter where you live, get the start time agreed in writing.
