E&M Landscaping & Construction is a Lynn company, run by the Nolasco family (Edvin Lopez is the background-checked owner on Thumbtack), that handles a mix of routine yard work and paving/hardscape projects — most reviews are strongly positive, but one recent account is sharply negative. Several 2025 reviews describe fast, responsive service: a June 2025 review described a same-day yard cleanup with mulch and flowers laid under a time crunch; a May 2025 review described a competitively bid patio finished quickly with strong attention to detail; an April 2025 review praised driveway work as exceeding expectations. An August 2025 review described a driveway paving project that started with an onsite estimate and a CAD drawing to visualize the finished look, followed by prep work and asphalt laid over the next two days. Older reviews from 2023 describe fast turnarounds — quoted, hired, and the job done within a day or two — and a well-finished new deck. One account stands well apart: in a September 2025 review, a customer described being cursed at and disrespected in Spanish, pressured into changes beyond what was agreed, and overcharged, despite saying the actual work was done adequately. For yard cleanup, lawn care, or driveway paving in the Lynn area, most of the written history here is strong, but the September 2025 account describes a real breakdown in how a job was handled — worth getting everything, including scope and price, agreed in writing up front.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from E&M Landscaping & Construction. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

TLDR: DO NOT HIRE THEM FOR YOUR OWN SANITY! Positives: They did an okay job at best. They came on time and somewhat did the job we agreed on. Negatives: 1. They were trash talking and cursing me an my wife in Spanish. And generally super disrespectful!! 2. They bullied us into more money. 3. They keep changing the contract. Constantly changing the agreement on whim and charging us for everything. I mean everything!! 4. They dont know basic English and have no interest in listening to you. They will gaslight you constantly!!! Worst fucking 3 days of my life... I hope they are taken out of business! They are rude and incredibly hard to work with and super greedy!
E & M landscaping and construction came out to quote paving of my driveway. Gave me an onsite estimate and provided me with a CAD drawing to simulate how it would look once finished. They came the next day to do the preparation work and the following day to do the asphalt. Responsive, professional and reasonably priced as well as knowledgeable with asphalt installation. Would highly recommend.
I hired E & M landscaping for yard clean up, to lay mulch and flowers that I bought. I was in a time crunch so I needed the work done immediately. They came out and gave me a fair price and did the job that same day.
This team did a phenomenal job on our patio. They had a very competitive bid and worked extremely hard and finished quickly. They had good attention to detail! We plan to have them back for future work!
Very affordable work and high quality. They were able to re-level and reseed our lawn in one morning. Also did mulching and some cleaning for us. Will be using them again in the future.
