Everything publicly written about MD MacEachern Landscape and Construction traces back to a single day in January 2018, and it is not about a hedge or a patio. On 18 January 2018, NBC Boston reported that a 27-year-old worker was killed at a house on Nashua Avenue in Gloucester. The reporting described him as an employee of MD MacEachern Landscape and Construction, operating a mini-excavator to dig out part of a foundation, and said the Occupational Safety and Health Administration responded to the scene alongside police. Wicked Local, quoting an Essex County District Attorney's office spokesman, placed the company in Manchester and noted it was not known whether it was working as a subcontractor for the Bellingham general contractor who held the building permit; the Boston Herald carried the same identification. That is the whole of the written record — three outlets covering one incident, more than eight years ago. Nobody has published a review of the company's work, a photo of a finished job, or a price. There is no reporting on what came of the investigation, and none of these articles assigns fault. A homeowner considering them for excavation or landscape construction has an obvious question to put directly to the company: what happened in 2018, what changed afterwards, and what its current insurance and safety practices look like. Ask for references on comparable work and confirm coverage in writing before anyone digs.
