Grounds of Nature Landscaping Inc.

Across 121 written reviews since 2021, Grounds of Nature Landscaping's story is overwhelmingly one thing: Gumer (also called Gumercindo) and his crew showing up, doing detailed hardscape and landscaping work, and leaving customers happy — but a repeated no-show complaint about scheduled estimates and cleanups is a real pattern worth knowing before calling. The Lynn-based company says it's been doing landscaping, hardscaping and masonry for homeowners and businesses for more than 13 years, covering lawn care, landscape design and installation, and patio, walkway and retaining-wall construction across Lynn, Winchester and Lexington. The finished work described is substantial and varied. A November 2024 review described a full patio and walkway replacement and expansion, with Gumer identifying structural challenges and proposing long-lasting solutions; an October 2024 review described cutting down two large trees, building a new retaining wall, and installing a full new patio after removing an old pebble one; and a 2025 review described repairing a stone retaining wall after snowplow damage. Several reviewers describe multi-year relationships, including one who says the company has taken down a cement wall, laid sod and grass seed, and removed and replanted bushes across several visits since they bought their property. The last six months brought 11 reviews, all positive, describing shrub and tree removal, sod installation, mulching, and full-yard refreshes, several finished within a day or two of the first call. Set against that, a small but real cluster of one-star reviews — one from 2024, two from 2025 — describes the same problem: a scheduled estimate or cleanup that the crew simply didn't show up for, in one case more than once with the same customer. That reviewer noted a positive experience with the company back in 2022, before the later no-shows. For landscaping, hardscape or masonry work in the Lynn area, Grounds of Nature's written history is deep and mostly glowing — but given the scheduling complaints, it's worth confirming an appointment shortly before it's due.
