J. Hernandez Landscaping, Inc.

Juan Hernandez climbs the trees himself. Reviewers describe him personally guiding a crew a hundred feet up an oak, working out how to drop each limb without touching a fence or a neighbor's roof. J Hernandez Landscaping is a family-run tree and landscaping outfit that says it has worked Massachusetts for more than 30 years, founded by Juan Hernandez, with a self-reported service area running from Walpole and Burlington to Dedham, Chelsea, Swampscott and Danvers. The written reviews run deep and stay largely consistent: 41 on file dating back to 2015, spread across seven platforms including Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor and the Better Business Bureau, which lists the company at an A+. Several older Angi and HomeAdvisor reviews tell specific stories — a 2025 job that took six trees down and ground their stumps over three days, with payment not due until everything was finished; a 2025 removal of a tree wedged between multiple homes, handled with what one homeowner called precision and care; a 2023 review from a customer who named the company directly after two diseased maples came down. Recent activity has stayed clean too, with six reviews in the last six months and none negative. One thing worth flagging before booking: four of the most recent Google reviews, all posted within the same week in early September 2026, share strikingly similar wording — two of them end with the identical phrase 'pricing were fair too,' and all four follow the same template of arrival time, safety, and cleanup. That doesn't undercut the older, more varied track record, but it's worth weighing those four as less independent than the rest. Separately, Google shows two different rating snapshots (5 stars from 5 ratings, and 5 stars from 9 ratings) rather than one, more likely a leftover from two business listings being combined than a real split in opinion. For eastern Massachusetts homeowners needing tree removal, trimming, stump grinding or general yard cleanup, this is a business with three decades of the same family name behind the work, a mostly consistent multi-platform review history, and one recent cluster of reviews worth reading with a slightly more critical eye than the rest.
