Melvin's and Son Tree Service is a Lynn, Massachusetts contractor offering landscaping, yard cleanup, tree and shrub work, asphalt paving, and concrete flatwork. Its profiles list 14 years of experience, 25 HomeAdvisor ratings, and service coverage from a local Lynn operation. Customers commonly praise prompt communication, timely completion, cleanup, and flexible scheduling. Reviews describe tree trimming, yard cleanups, garden and landscape installation, asphalt work, and concrete steps. Two reviews raise issues to clarify: a 2024 asphalt driveway reportedly failed after three months and the reviewer said follow-up stopped, while a 2026 planting job reportedly delivered 11 of 12 promised trees and had cleanup and pricing concerns. Before booking, confirm quantities, materials, warranty, cleanup expectations, and a written scope. The contractor appears suited to homeowners seeking recurring yard care, landscaping, tree or shrub work, and paving, with extra care warranted on asphalt specifications and plant counts.
Make sure to do your research on cost ... Felt the service was expensive The clean up could have been better
Great work!
Make sure to do your research on cost Was told that 12 trees will be planted which I was told that they cost 200 plus taxes each It seems the trees were approx 5-6 feet in height that would have cost about 100 each Finally 11 trees were only planted. Felt the service was expensive The clean up could have been better
Excellent and fast.
