E&M Landscaping & Construction

E&M Landscaping & Construction is a small, family-run outfit based in Lynn, operating out of 170 Union St under the Nolasco family — BBB records list Maynor Lopez Nolasco as president and Edvin Lopez Nolasco as vice president, with the company on file for about three years and a single employee. Around town it goes simply by E&M Landscaping, doing yard clean-ups, mulching and lawn care alongside driveway paving and patio work — the "Construction" half of the name reflecting real asphalt and hardscape jobs alongside the planting and mowing. Across six directories, several dozen reviews skew heavily positive. Thumbtack, its deepest sample by far, puts it at 4.4 stars over 30 reviews and named it a 2024 Top Pro; the BBB gives it a straight A grade; Google's small sample is a perfect 5. Not every account lines up, though — an aggregator listing shows a softer 3.7 from six reviews, and Angi's four reviews include one describing a badly handled paving job, alleging disrespectful treatment and a price and contract that kept shifting during the work. Given that split, it's worth pinning down scope and price in writing before work starts — get the quote, materials, and payment terms spelled out rather than relying on a verbal understanding, especially for a larger paving or hardscape job. The company's own reported age also varies by source — about three years per its BBB filing versus roughly nine or ten years claimed on other directories — so it's fair to ask directly how long the current crew has been doing this work. For routine mowing, clean-ups and mulching, the reviews are consistent enough to feel like a reasonably safe call; for a bigger paving or masonry project, get everything in writing before the crew shows up.
