J. McKinnon Inc.

J. McKinnon is a Hanson, Massachusetts landscaping, excavation and septic contractor working across Plymouth and Norfolk counties, the South Shore and Cape Cod. Its own site describes it as a local, family-owned business serving the area since 2007, and its Better Business Bureau profile — filed under the legal name J.McKinnon Landscape Company, LLC at 64 Steven St — lists the business as started in 2007, incorporated in 2014, with six employees and an A+ grade. The unusual thing about this company is range. Reviewers describe routine lawn care and seasonal cleanups from the same crew that digs trenches, sets foundations, installs septic systems and plows a 700-foot driveway. A December 2025 customer had a leaking water main replaced with a trench run from the street to the foundation in midwinter, and the crew came back in spring to plant grass and replace the bushes. A 2022 customer had a maple that had come down on their garage removed and the stump ground. Another 2022 reviewer, whose tree fell on two vehicles and clipped the house in a storm, said the crew arrived within a few hours when everyone in town was busy. The praise is consistently about scheduling and follow-through rather than price. A May 2026 customer described several spring and fall cleanups scheduled promptly, even at the last minute. A 2024 reviewer had a crew on site the next day. A 2024 customer said the firm had been their only landscaper for twelve years without a complaint, and a 2024 review of a wooded-backyard transformation noted that calls and questions were still answered a year after the job finished. Reviewers name Jeff, and also Mike, Jay and Scott, so you are likely to deal with a named person rather than a call centre. Two more measured accounts are worth reading. A July 2022 customer who had a paver walkway and grill pad built, and the yard cleaned, edged, mulched and hydroseeded, said most of the lawn came in but other areas would need more work. Another 2022 reviewer left three stars with positive words about the crew resetting gates to accommodate added rock, so ask what follow-up is included when seeding or grading is part of the job. For a South Shore property that needs both the machine work and the finish work — septic, excavation, hardscape and the lawn afterwards — this is a deep, long-running local record.
