Juarez Landscaping and Tree Services

Juarez Landscaping and Tree Services is a Peabody, MA crew built around chainsaws and stump grinders more than fence posts — even though this listing surfaced them under fencing, the bulk of what people actually call them for is a tree coming down or a yard that needs a serious cleanup. AJ (Amilcar Juárez) and his brother Walter started the company in 2016, and regulars talk about the crew by first name — AJ, Elias, Erik. The numbers back that reputation up: 4.8 out of 5 across 195 Google ratings and the same 4.8 across 143 on Angi, built over years of repeat business. BBB gives the company an A+, and Peabody's Chamber of Commerce lists them as a member. Recent jobs follow a pattern — a branch assessment where the crew came back and cleaned up debris left from the day before, a stump-and-pruning job worked partly by bucket truck and partly by climbing with a crew one reviewer called careful, and a Sunday phone call that turned into a finished yard by the following week. In April, Elias and his team put in a new fence that one family called neat and prompt, leaving the site spotless — the fence work holds up, it just isn't the volume business here. Not everything is frictionless. A new automated phone system drew a complaint recently for making it hard to reach a live person to arrange a job. That echoes an older, recurring pattern: a handful of reviews over the past couple of years describe a quote promised after a site visit that never showed up. None of it touches the quality of finished work — the friction shows up between the first visit and what happens next, so get a firm date on the estimate before you count on it. For tree removal, pruning, stump grinding, or a seasonal cleanup, the volume and consistency of reviews make the case. If you specifically want a fence, ask to see recent examples rather than assuming it's a specialty — the one recent job held up well, but there isn't much else here to judge it against.
