Marty's Landscaping, Inc

Marty's Landscaping splits reviewers into two camps, and both leave detailed accounts. Run by owner Martin Peal out of South Chelmsford, the company holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#190629, issued February 2026, confirmed active as of July 2026 per BuildZoom) and does landscaping, tree removal and hardscaping — plus, per its BuildZoom listing, retaining walls, decks, fencing and other outdoor structures. The praise is specific and repeats: a customer of 'many years' across landscaping, tree removal and hardscaping projects, in a June 2026 review, credits the crew with fair prices that don't change and a habit of following up after the job; a 2024 review describes a river-rock and fence-line project where 'the crew all work together... in sync'; several reviewers say they've hired the company multiple times and would again, with the owner personally checking on crews mid-project. The complaints are just as specific, and there are several of them across the same years: a 2024 review reports mowing before 7 AM in violation of Chelmsford's noise ordinance; a 2023 review describes a crew that blew debris onto a car, followed by what the reviewer called an unprofessional callback from Marty himself; a 2023 review from a neighbor, not a customer, describes being yelled at after asking the crew to stop blowing leaves onto their property; and a 2025 review calls the company disrespectful of people and property. One 2025 review describes a Marty's vehicle cutting off an ambulance — but the location given, Franklin, Ohio, is far from this South Chelmsford, MA business, so it may describe a different, similarly-named company rather than this one. Given both patterns run in parallel for years rather than one replacing the other, it's worth asking directly about a recent, specific job before hiring, and confirming clean-up and communication expectations up front.
