LL Hardscape Tree Service INC

LL Hardscape Tree Service works the North Shore doing two things at once: taking down and pruning trees, and building the patios, walkways and retaining walls that go in after. The Lynn-based crew states on its own site that it covers Peabody, Andover, Chelmsford, Lexington, Randolph and Canton with hardscape, tree work, landscaping and winter plowing. What comes through across 52 Google ratings and 18 on Thumbtack is how often the same names show up again and again. One customer describes hiring the crew every year since 2018 for tree removal, rock walls and a backyard patio. Another has used them for lawn care, mulch, tree removal, and a lighted paver patio for many years. A third describes one job that covered stone walls, a patio, fire pits, a barn foundation, tree removal, plant transplanting and a French drain. Thirty-three of the reviews on file are from the last six months, and none of them are negative. The specifics repeat: a same-day removal of a fallen tree, a 60-foot pine cut safely off a property line in Belmont, two large trees taken down and the stumps ground the same visit. On the hardscape side, reviewers describe brick pointing on a chimney, a new paver front walkway, and pavers replacing old decking and worn artificial turf — more than one review mentions the crew hauling debris and reseeding the lawn before leaving. The one loose thread is the owner's name. Most Google reviews call him Lorenzo; several others call him Rafael or Raphael Esteban, and Thumbtack's own background-check credential lists Lorenzo Esteban. In a review from late 2025, one customer described Rafael as the owner, working alongside his father and crew — which may explain why different customers use different names for what looks like a family operation. For a tree job — removal, pruning, storm cleanup — or a hardscape build like a paver patio or retaining wall, this is a crew with a long, consistent record in both. Fencing, asphalt repair and drainage work show up too, just less often in what customers describe.
