Ballo's Multi Service

Around Hyde Park—W Milton St area especially—you see a lot of outfits say they do “cleanup” and “junk removal,” but Ballo’s Multi Service (Rich and his crew) runs more like a dependable field crew than a flyer-on-the-door kind of operation. Folks keep circling back to the same themes: on time, quick response, fair price, and “no problem” even when the yard is a total mess.

Rich tends to show up fast for quotes—same day or next day comes up a lot—and he actually walks the property with you. Not the rushed, talk-over-you estimate. He listens, repeats back what you want, and then he follows through. And if you’ve ever tried lining up fall cleanup when everyone’s booked out? These guys seem to squeeze people in within days, sometimes later the same afternoon. That “responsive” word isn’t fluff here; it’s how they operate.

The work itself sounds like the real-world, messy realities: overgrown weeds, huge brush piles, broken fence, bricks and rocks, vines climbing the house, clogged gutters, branch hanging over the roof. And they don’t get precious about it. They clear, cut, haul, edge, mulch, even toss in extras like gutter cleaning when they notice a problem. You want a crew that sees the whole job, not just the one line item you called about—who doesn’t?

Pricing comes off as reasonable and affordable, with clarity upfront. People mention “great price,” “fair price,” “reasonable quote,” and they don’t complain about surprise add-ons. Plus Rich keeps communication going during the job—updates on plans and progress—so you’re not standing at the window wondering what’s happening out there.

Attitude-wise, the reviews read like the kind of crew you don’t have to babysit: polite, respectful, hard worker, professional, efficient, seamless together. And when somebody had an event and their landscaper canceled last-minute, Ballo’s didn’t hesitate—started within minutes and came back when promised. That’s the stuff contractors remember. But also, neighbors notice; a couple reviews mention people stopping by to compliment the yard after.

They’re not just a one-trick “leaf cleanup” operation either. Over time, customers lean on them for lawn care, snow removal, power washing, walkway work, plantings, sod, gutters, and yes—junk removal when a property prep turns into a “we need this gone” situation. That kind of repeat, second-season business tells you plenty about reliability.

If you’re looking for a crew that answers, shows up, deals with the ugly yards without drama, and charges a fair price while staying easy to deal with—Ballo’s is one of the steadier names I keep hearing in the neighborhood.
