## The honest read

Edgar Landscaping and Construction is a Lynn, Massachusetts outfit that gets called for two distinct kinds of work — everyday yard cleanups and sod jobs, and fence installation or repair — and reviewers describe Edgar himself showing up on most jobs with his crew. The business says it has eight years of experience and offers weekly service; people hire it for landscape cleanups, sod and lawn installation, tree trimming and a steady stream of fence replacements around Lynn and nearby towns.

The written record runs from 2021 through 2026 across four platforms, and the specifics repeat: a fence pulled down and a new one installed the same day, an overgrown yard cleared of weeds and bushes with fresh mulch put down, a pool area regraded and reseeded with loam. A June 2026 customer had a full yard cleanup done, including garden beds and leaf removal, and came home to find everything finished and neat. Another, that same month, had an above-ground pool and deck removed and the area replaced with loam and sod. When a 2026 customer's appointment was initially missed, Edgar rescheduled after one call and the crew showed up on time the next day and worked through it.

Two things are worth knowing before booking. A review posted in August 2026 describes a job that was never finished to the agreement and an owner who became hard to reach after repeated follow-up calls — the crew came back once to attempt a fix, but the customer says the result still doesn't match what was agreed. Separately, two reviews from early 2022 describe pricing disputes: one customer says a $50 snow-removal quote became a $450 bill after the work was done, and another describes a landscaping job completed without pulling permits and called overpriced for what was delivered.

Set against that, the volume of positive, specific accounts is real — fence jobs finished the same day, cleanups that leave a yard looking different by the time the owner gets home, a follow-up visit the next spring to fertilize and treat a new lawn for grubs, as promised. Anyone hiring for a job with a fixed-price quote should get it in writing before work starts, and anyone whose project needs a permit should confirm who's pulling it.

**Strengths:**
- Yard cleanups — repeatedly praised on Thumbtack for cleared beds and mulch
- Fence work — six reviews describe fast install, removal and repair
- Upfront on extras — one reviewer cites disclosed added cost before work

**Concerns:**
- Incomplete job — a 2026 review cites an unresponsive owner after follow-ups
- Pricing disputes — two 2022 reviews cite a jumped quote and no permits
