Double J Landscaping, LLC

Massachusetts confirms the thing homeowners most often can't check for themselves: home improvement contractor registration 195262 is active and held in Double J Landscaping LLC's own name — not a similar-sounding namesake, and not expired. The company works out of Main Street in Topsfield and describes itself as full-service: landscape design, lawn installation and care, plantings, and the heavier end — retaining walls, walkways and patios, Bobcat excavation, brush clearing, tree work and gutter cleaning. It says it was founded in 2001. BBB's file dates the business to 2010 instead and puts it at three employees. What's thin is customers talking. Google carries a 3.7 average across just three ratings, and only one of them comes with any writing — a November 2023 complaint that has nothing to do with landscaping: the reviewer described a driver cursing at elementary students over bus stops, aggravated and screaming in his car. Take it for what it is, an account of how someone drove rather than of how a wall got built. BBB declines to grade the company at all, saying it lacks sufficient information. One practical note before dialling: the company's own site gives 978.853.6949, while its BBB profile lists 978-887-2299. A reasonable call for a straightforward maintenance or hardscape job around Topsfield — the registration is current and in the right name, which is more than many neighbours can show. Just don't expect the internet to vouch for the workmanship: ask for two or three recent local references, and go look at the walls and patios in person before you commit.
