Juarez Landscaping and Tree Services

Juarez Landscaping and Tree Services is a Peabody, Massachusetts, family-run crew that homeowners call for the trees too big or too close to the house to handle themselves. Founded in 2016 by brothers Amilcar ('AJ') and Walter Juárez — AJ himself immigrated from Guatemala in 2001 — the company says it keeps certified arborists on staff and works towns from Peabody and Salem to Winchester and Wilmington. It holds an A+ grade with the Better Business Bureau. The written record is large — 161 reviews on file since 2019, holding 4.8 stars across Google (195 ratings), Angi, and HomeAdvisor (143 ratings each). Reviewers describe genuinely technical tree work: a 2023 review recalled AJ's six-man crew taking down five 60-to-100-foot trees on a steep Winchester hillside surrounded by homes, and a separate 2023 review described a large Scotch pine removed by hand without damaging the trees and shrubs right next to it. AJ himself is the recurring name in the record — reviewers describe him giving same-day quotes on weekend calls, with crews starting work within days. Beyond tree work, the company also installs fences and paver patios and does storm and spring yard cleanups; several reviewers are repeat customers who've hired the crew three or more times over the years. Two 2025 reviews, both from neighbors rather than customers, described yard-work debris — dust from a mowed lawn, blown leaves — drifting onto their own property, with one saying it had happened repeatedly across two years. A November 2025 review said a promised estimate for storm damage to their landscaping never arrived despite following up for two weeks, and an April 2026 review said a new automated phone system made it hard to reach anyone to arrange work. A separate April 2025 review from a longtime customer said a later yard cleanup felt overpriced compared to the company's earlier jobs. Worth noting separately: the company's own site gives three different figures for how long it's been in business. For technical tree removal — a tall tree near the house, a steep or tight lot — this is a crew with a deep, mostly glowing record; if you share a property line with a job site, or if a quote is slow to arrive, it's worth following up directly rather than waiting.
