Jimmy's Masonry & Landscaping

Jimmy's Masonry & Landscaping works out of Lynn, splitting its work about evenly between the two trades in its name: brick-and-stone construction and yard care. The company says it's been serving the North Shore and Greater Boston area for roughly 20 years, doing patios, walkways, retaining walls, and stonework alongside lawn maintenance, planting, mulching, and seasonal cleanups, plus smaller add-ons like fencing and snow plowing. Across Google, Angi, and Thumbtack — 23 ratings between them — the scores sit in a narrow, consistent band: 4.6 stars on Google, 5.0 on both Angi and Thumbtack. The recurring theme in reviews from 2023 through 2025 is brick-and-stone rebuild work — entryway stairs torn down and replaced with granite treads, patios installed start to finish — alongside repeat landscape and snow-plowing jobs for the same customers year after year. Reviewers consistently describe a hands-on owner, Jimmy, working the job personally alongside his crew. Worth knowing before calling: Angi's profile for the business states plainly that it doesn't offer warranties, eco-friendly accreditation, or emergency service, so anything urgent or requiring a written guarantee needs to be worked out up front. The review count is also thin outside Google — Angi shows only 3 ratings and Thumbtack just 1 — so those perfect scores carry less weight than Google's larger sample. A separate directory, giftly.com, lists a notably lower 3.4 stars from 5 reviews for the same Prescott Road address, which doesn't line up with the ratings everywhere else and is worth flagging rather than ignoring. This reads like a reasonable call for masonry-adjacent yard work — a new patio, a rebuilt brick entryway, ongoing lawn care or winter plowing — from a crew with two decades of local history in Lynn. Given the modest total review volume, it's worth asking directly about a written guarantee and locking in a firm, itemized quote before work starts.
