Barbuzzi Landscaping

Barbuzzi Landscaping is a family-owned North Shore company that says it's been at this for more than 30 years, offering lawn care, mowing, seeding, mulching, planting, irrigation, and seasonal maintenance across Lynn, Swampscott, Marblehead, Peabody, Salem, and a dozen other towns. Its Better Business Bureau profile lists 32 years in business (Angi's own profile puts it at 41), 3 employees, and Chamber of Commerce membership in Swampscott. The written reviews on file run from 2018 to 2020 and are consistently strong — a driveway expansion paired with new sod and plants that drew compliments from neighbors, sod leveled and laid before a homeowner even got home from work, a new patio finished with no cleanup left behind, and a yard prepped quickly and knowledgeably ahead of a shed installation. One reviewer, uncertain whether restructured drainage would hold up in a storm, said the crew promised to come back if it didn't. One 2018 account is a clear exception: a project quoted at two weeks stretched past two months, blamed on weather and other delays, and ran over the original estimate — the same complaint that shows up summarized on the company's own Angi profile. There's also a real gap between platforms: Google shows a 3.7-star average, well below Angi's 4.8 from the same number of reviews, worth keeping in mind since the written accounts here all come from Angi. For hardscape and lawn work with an established, long-running local crew, the specific reviews here are detailed and positive; it's worth asking directly about the current timeline given the one account of a job running well past schedule.
