Verified record
C. McGue Landscape Design & Construction is a Quincy, Massachusetts landscaping business built around design, hardscaping, and grounds care. Early coverage described a young firm whose portfolio centered on new walkways, patio construction, and planting jobs. The Better Business Bureau lists a similar range of services today: landscape design, lawn maintenance and lawn care, shrub maintenance, seasonal and storm clean-ups, brick and stone walls and walkways, and snow plowing. The BBB currently grades the business A+, though it is not a BBB-accredited company. Worth asking about before booking: OSHA cited the business in 2021 for an excavation safety violation on a Somerville, MA job site, where an unshored trench exposed workers installing sewer pipe to a cave-in hazard. For a homeowner in the Quincy area weighing landscape design, hardscaping, or seasonal grounds work, this is a business with a documented service range across design and maintenance work; the OSHA record is worth a direct conversation about current site-safety practices before booking excavation-adjacent work.
