JE&L PRO LANDSCAPING

Nineteen Google ratings, a 5.0 average — and the reviews behind them are not the one-line kind. People name the actual jobs: an overgrown property cleared after a house purchase, a fence plus a driveway repair plus a fresh lawn all on one Lawrence job, gutters cleaned out. JE&L Pro Landscaping works out of 45 Bigelow St in Lawrence. The company says Juan Lopez founded it after several years working in landscaping himself, starting with a few tools, and puts its own tenure at more than 15 years. Its stated reach covers Lawrence and the Merrimack Valley towns around it — North Andover, Methuen, Andover, Haverhill, Dracut, Tewksbury, Lowell — and out toward Essex County. The through-line in the recent reviews is speed at the front end. One customer asked for a price on a Friday, had a number back within a day, and saw the work finished inside three days. Others describe the same rhythm: easy to reach, quick to schedule, priced in a range they call reasonable. Timeliness comes up more often than any particular technique. The range of work runs wider than lawn care. Alongside mowing, seasonal cleanups, mulch beds and sod, the company builds patios, walkways, retaining walls, steps, driveways, decks, fences, pergolas and outdoor kitchens, and takes on irrigation and tree and shrub work. One customer had Juan remodel an apartment outright — paint, flooring, cabinets, a bathroom vanity. Two things to weigh. All of this praise sits in one place: Google, with a review history running from 2025 into 2026 rather than across the 15 years the company claims for itself. And that breadth cuts both ways — Massachusetts exempts landscaping-only contractors from home improvement contractor registration, but deck building, driveway work and interior remodeling are not landscaping. If your job crosses that line, ask which registration and insurance cover it before anyone starts. For lawn care, cleanups, mulch and a straightforward patio, walkway or fence around Lawrence, Andover and Methuen, this is a small, responsive crew with a consistent recent run of pleased customers, several of whom mention Juan and Emmerson by name. Get the scope and the price in writing, and if the job includes structural or interior work, confirm the registration that covers it.
