Downer Brothers Landscaping, Inc.

Downer Brothers Landscaping, Inc. is a North Andover landscape design, build, and maintenance company led by Chris Downer, CEO, and Nicole Downer, President and Landscape Designer. The company describes residential and commercial work that spans landscape design, construction, installation, maintenance, irrigation, hydroseeding, horticulture, snow and ice removal, and dog park projects. The recent customer record is active and specific. Homeowners in 2026 describe pet artificial turf installation, backyard transformations, patio and walkway stonework, front-walkway work, garden fencing, irrigation, new flower beds, design help, last-minute cleanup, weeding, edging, mulching, mowing, and raised garden beds. Repeated names show up in those comments: Nicole on design, Joe Spaulding on project management and raised-bed planning, and crew members including Luis, Delmin, Edvin, Gilmore, Liz, and others. The strongest pattern is detailed praise for crews who keep job sites neat, work hard, answer questions, and handle both installation and ongoing maintenance. Several reviews are recent, from April through July 2026, and Google shows a 4.8-star rating across 114 ratings. BBB lists an A+ grade, while Houzz lists the company in landscape contracting with a service area that includes Andover, Boxford, Georgetown, Lawrence, Methuen, North Andover, North Reading, and Topsfield. The main item to ask about is snow-removal coordination. One February 2026 reviewer described a poor interaction while residents were trying to move cars for lot clearing. That complaint is outweighed by many landscaping reviews, but it is specific enough to raise before hiring them for winter commercial work. Downer Brothers looks like a strong fit for homeowners who want a single landscaping team for design, hardscape installation, planting, irrigation, lawn care, and maintenance around North Andover and nearby towns. Confirm the project lead, scope, maintenance cadence, cleanup expectations, and, for snow accounts, the communication plan before work starts.
