Miguel Lopez Landscaping & Hardscaping

The Swampscott crew that plows the driveway in February is the one that builds the patio in June. Miguel Lopez Landscaping & Hardscaping holds a 5.0 average across 23 Google ratings, and homeowners hire it for both halves of the name — mowing, spring and fall cleanups and snow removal on one side, patios, walkways and retaining walls on the other. The company's site says it has done complete landscaping and hardscaping for over ten years, and lists eight towns from Lynn to Peabody as its service area. The stone work comes with the most detail. In a June 2025 review, a homeowner had an extended patio, a retaining wall and garden beds backfilled with stone installed, and credited Miguel with sharing options that saved money in the long term; the crew finished earlier than expected. A December 2024 customer looked back on a paver walkway and driveway put in three years before and still beautiful, then called him again — sidelined by an injury — for an autumn cleanup on a lot with eight old oaks and dozens of trees abutting it, at what that customer called a great price. The maintenance relationships run long. A May 2026 review comes from someone who has been with the company for years for snow removal, fall and spring cleanup, mowing and weekly maintenance, and calls the crew courteous and responsive. In February 2025 another customer described years of residential snow plowing; an April 2024 review came from a homeowner whose property the crew had tended before they bought the house, and who describes a spring cleanup of edging, mulching and grooming. Punctuality shows up plainly: an April 2024 review calls the crew punctual and good listeners, and a May 2024 one says he showed up when he said he would. A March 2024 customer calls the pricing fair, and a June 2024 homeowner who saw the neighbors' yard had a quote two days after asking and the crew two days after that. For weekly upkeep, or a patio-and-wall project you want handled by one small crew, this is a straightforward call. Do what the May 2026 yard-cleanup customer did — have Miguel walk you through the scope of the work and the quote before anyone starts; that job ended with no surprises — and ask him for the money-saving alternatives he laid out for the homeowners who added the extended patio.
