Both written accounts about Israel Landscaping Construction end the same way: a homeowner waiting for a call that never came. In a June 2026 review a customer said the outside concrete patio Israel poured came out well at first, then cracked in multiple areas about a year on; he agreed to come by and assess it and never did, and the patio is now starting to spall. In June 2022 a different person wrote that someone came to the house, listened to what they needed and said yes to the job, then never got back to them — had he simply said he could not do it, they wrote, that would have been no problem. Google shows 1 star from two ratings, and Houzz 1.0 from one. The Better Business Bureau gives the Lynn company an A+ letter grade, though that grade is not review-based and the company is not BBB accredited; the same profile lists ten years in business. The Houzz listing covers a wide span of outdoor work: landscape construction and maintenance, masonry, fence installation and repair, drainage systems, lawn care and aeration, power washing, and snow removal. If you are weighing them for concrete or masonry, both homeowners who wrote describe the same breakdown once the talking stops — so put the cracking-and-spalling warranty in the contract with a named remedy and a response window, and settle before the pour who you call when the work needs attention afterward.
I hired Israel to pour and outside concrete patio. The patio came out well initially, but then a year later started to crack in multiple areas. I reached out to him and he said he come by and assess. He never did. Now a few years later the patio is starting to spall. Again I reached out and got the same response, "send me the address and Ill go by and check"". Never to show up once again!
A most unprofessional company. If someone comes out to your home, listens to your needs, says yes they will do the job and then never get back to you.. that is just rude. If he had just said he couldn't do it it would have been no problem as i wouldn't have waited an additional 2 weeks to try and get another company at the begining of spring. I just think a phone call would have been the right thing to do. I guess in the big picture i wouldn't want to work with someone like that anyway so it worked out ok in the end...i was able to find another company to do the job and they return phone calls and show up when they say they will. That's the kind of people i like to work with.
