Cullivan Landscape Construction Inc.

The company says it started in 2003 as weekend side work while its founder ran heavy equipment full-time in the excavation trade, and grew from small mulching and cleanup jobs into a full-service landscape construction operation. Josh Cullivan has run it as president since 2012, and today Cullivan Landscape Construction works out of Abington on the South Shore, handling everything from weekly mowing crews to retaining walls and patio builds. The clearest number here is 4.9 stars across 53 Google ratings, and the reviews behind it are unusually consistent — 50 collected since 2023, nearly all five stars, and the eight most recent (posted since May) keep repeating the same specifics. One homeowner said their yard got weeded for the first time ever, despite a previous landscaper's invoice claiming the same work had been done. Another had a stubborn hill regraded, loamed, and hydroseeded, and called the result "100% better." A third credited the crew — specifically Casey and Paul — with lifting the whole neighborhood's curb appeal enough to help sell their home. Longer-tenured customers describe sticking with the company for years, moving from a single mowing contract into full seasonal maintenance plus one-off hardscape work like new patios, retaining walls, and sod installs. The pattern across the full review history repeats: prompt scheduling, tidy cleanup, and direct communication with Josh and office staff member Barb. Nothing in the fifty reviews raises a complaint — not about pricing, scheduling, or workmanship — which is unusual for a company with this much volume behind it. One smaller directory listing shows a lower 4.2 stars off just 5 reviews, but that's a thin, separate sample next to the 53 on Google. Cullivan is a fit for South Shore homeowners who want one company for both the weekly mow-and-edge routine and bigger hardscape projects — new beds, walls, walkways — without switching contractors between the two. Worth confirming directly: current scheduling availability and whether a specific job, like irrigation work or a full lawn renovation, is being taken on this season, since the reviews don't break down turnaround time by project type.
