Miguel Lopez Landscaping & Hardscaping

Miguel Lopez Landscaping & Hardscaping is a Swampscott-based company working across the North Shore — Lynn, Salem, Beverly, Marblehead, Swampscott, Saugus, Danvers and Peabody, per its website. Its Google page shows 5 stars from 23 ratings, and the twenty-one written reviews on file, running from 2023 through mid-2026, tell an unusually consistent story: fast, and no drama. The bigger jobs get specific praise. A 2025 review described an extended patio, a retaining wall and stone-backfilled garden beds, crediting Miguel with cost-saving suggestions along the way and a finish ahead of schedule. A 2024 review said a pavers walkway and driveway installed three years earlier still looked beautiful, and separately described him clearing a years-old, overgrown gully of leaves, debris and thorn bushes during a homeowner's injury — at the lower late-fall cleanup price rather than the winter rate. On the recurring side, several reviews describe multi-year relationships covering snow removal, seasonal cleanups, mowing and weekly maintenance, with reviewers repeatedly noting he answers texts within minutes and shows up when he says he will. A 2026 review specifically called out a fair quote, a clearly explained scope, and no surprises on the final bill. Four of the reviews are from the last six months, all five-star, so the pattern looks current rather than dated.
