M&E construction and Landscaping inc.

M&E Construction and Landscaping is a Lynn-based, family-owned outfit (the company says it's been operating 10+ years) run by Moises Lopez, whose name shows up in nearly every review as the one giving estimates, showing up on schedule, and running the crew. Its self-reported service area stretches across the North Shore — Lynn, Salem, Marblehead, Beverly, Danvers, and a dozen more towns. The written record runs deep — 38 reviews from 2019 through 2025 — and splits fairly evenly between hardscape and yard work. On the masonry side: retaining walls, stone walls, patios and walkways, including a 2024 job where a retaining wall, patio and side walkway went in over 10 days despite a summer heat wave and rain. On the landscaping side: spring and fall cleanups, mulching, weeding overgrown beds, hedge trimming, sod installation, and fence work. A theme across years of reviews is responsiveness — Moises repeatedly shows up for estimates the next day or even the same day, and several customers describe returning to hire him again for a second or third project. In a 2023 review, one customer described a multi-year relationship spanning a stone wall build, a repaired wall, a fence takedown, tree/bush removal, hedge trimming, and recurring seasonal cleanups. Not every account is glowing. In a 2019 review, one customer felt the pricing was high just for weed maintenance and found communication difficult, though ultimately still chose M&E over other bidders. It's the one dissonant note in an otherwise long run of five-star write-ups, and Angi's own summary of its 38-review profile echoes the same shape: overwhelmingly positive on timeliness, quality and value, with that one exception on price and communication. One quirk worth knowing: M&E's Angi bio claims over 18 years in business, while a separate experience badge on the same profile shows 11 years — the two don't agree, so treat "years in business" as approximate rather than verified. For hardscape or seasonal yard work in the North Shore area, the volume and consistency of the written record here stands out; just confirm pricing up front given the one pricing-related complaint on file.
