Mackin Landscaping

Mackin Landscaping, run out of Ipswich by owner Tim Mackin, holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration and describes itself as a design-build-maintain outfit with more than 20 years in the industry behind Tim. The company covers everything from routine lawn treatments to masonry hardscape, serving Belmont, Hamilton, and Swampscott among other towns. The specific projects reviewers describe span the full range. In a 2023 review, a family described a cobblestone driveway apron installed by crew member Manny and project manager Mike, done promptly and efficiently with an accurate estimate. Another 2023 review described a driveway extension and a new block retaining wall built along a property line, praising the design, workmanship, and communication. On the maintenance side, Luke Kimball comes up repeatedly for lawn fertilizer applications and tick and mosquito treatment, with one reviewer crediting him for keeping applications sensible through a drought. Another described Luke and his crew handling an above-and-beyond yard cleanup ahead of a wedding. The most recent written account on file is from February 2026, so it's worth confirming they're still taking on new work at the same pace. For lawn care, seasonal cleanup, or hardscape work like a driveway or retaining wall around Ipswich and the North Shore, this is a business with a deep, specific, and consistently positive history behind named crew members — the license is active, and the range of work described gives a good sense of what to expect.
