ED & M Landscaping

Eddie's crew shows up fast. When a homeowner asked for a front-yard cleanup buried in leaves and acorns, they arrived within the hour and were done quickly — that 2025 account captures how ED & M Landscaping tends to work. The company runs out of 428 Chestnut St in Lynn and says it has ten years behind it, with free estimates, emergency service and Spanish spoken. The work spans more than lawns: yard cleanups, shrub trimming, planting, grading and resloping, masonry, and winter snow removal for homes and commercial lots. Fourteen ratings average 4.6, 93% of them five stars. One thing to understand about that number: Angi and HomeAdvisor publish the identical fourteen reviews, so the two profiles are a single record mirrored, not two independent ones. Three arrived in the past six months, all five stars — one customer had six boxwoods planted in forty minutes by a three-person crew and called the price reasonable; another, on a second visit, had hedges trimmed and said the pricing matched the hours and the crew size. The one blemish is old and specific. In January 2018 a snow-removal customer wrote that a quoted $50 first-time job ended at $400, that snow was plowed against the garage door, and that another $100 was asked to move it. Nothing since repeats it — but if you are hiring for plowing rather than planting, pin down the per-visit price and what counts as extra before the first storm. Half the written history, six accounts, dates to 2017 and 2018, so the depth is older than the headline suggests; everything recent is landscaping work. The right call for straightforward yard work around Lynn — cleanups, planting, trimming, grading, and small masonry jobs — especially when you need someone quickly.
