Elm Landscaping & Construction

Elm Landscaping & Construction is based in Lynn, Massachusetts, and despite the name, its real track record is almost entirely tree work: removals, pruning, and brush clearing rather than lawn or garden landscaping. Elmer Lopez runs the crew, which also shows up in federal carrier records as a private FMCSA-registered fleet out of Lynn. Angi credits the company with about nine years in business. That tree-work reputation holds up consistently across two independent platforms — 4.4 out of 5 from 13 ratings on Google and 4.3 out of 5 from 12 on Angi. The recurring praise, going back to 2018, centers on big jobs done fast: multi-tree removals handled in hours rather than days, with bobcats, wood chippers, and climbing gear doing work that smaller crews would struggle with, and yards left cleaner than they started. Not every account lines up with that picture. A minority of reviews raise real concerns about property damage during removal work, and Angi's page includes one detailed account of a job that went badly — enough that anyone hiring for work near a fence, a neighbor's yard, or trees they want to keep should ask directly how the crew protects the surrounding property and what happens if something goes wrong. Worth being clear about scope: nothing in the reviewed history touches planting, mulching, sod, or garden design. Anyone looking for a landscaper to build out beds or maintain a lawn should look elsewhere. Anyone with trees to take down, and willing to ask the right questions upfront about site protection, has a well-documented option here.
