Clearview Lawn and Yard Care

Clearview Lawn and Yard Care is a North Andover landscaping outfit run by Stephen Abraham, with 13 years in business and an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau — though it hasn't sought accreditation. The company says it handles the full seasonal roster: mowing, cleanups, shrub care, snow removal, and hardscaping work like paver patios and retaining walls. Its written record runs 2017 to 2019, and it's a mixed one. A 2017 review called the crew punctual, honest, and dedicated, and said the customer would use them again. But two later reviews describe jobs that didn't hold up: in 2019, a homeowner said new grass seeding never took and the crew stopped answering calls after being paid, leaving mowed clippings in the pool; in 2018, another described a spring cleanup where the bark mulch was so thin the dirt showed through, weeds poked through it, and fall leaves were never cleared. Google shows a 3-star average across four ratings, in line with that split record. Before booking, it's worth asking what's changed since those complaints — none of the written accounts on file are recent, so there's no way to say how the crew performs today. The specific failure points worth raising directly are seeding follow-through and cleanup thoroughness.
