Nehemias Landscaping & Construction is a family-run hardscaping and masonry outfit out of Lynn — Marvin, who runs it, shows up by name in nearly every one of the 17 straight five-star Google reviews on file, and the Better Business Bureau gives the company an A-. The work spans a lot more than lawns: patios, stone walls, walkways, chimneys, fences, drainage and snow removal all show up in the record. In an April 2026 review, a homeowner who originally called Marvin in to repair a garage wall and a failing section of stone wall liked the work enough to bring him back for two more walls and a new front walkway, on budget and responsive throughout. A May 2026 review describes him listening carefully to a homeowner's vision for a rustic back patio and front walkway, breaking up ledge and working the design around a large mossy rock the customer wanted kept. Older reviews tell a consistent story: in a January 2026 review, he hand-shoveled snow for an elderly homeowner's walkways and driveway when no other service would; an October 2025 review describes a full chimney rebuild that stayed at the originally quoted price with no hidden add-ons; and a 2025 review recounts a patio build where he flagged an unexpected buried stone right away and talked through the fix before proceeding. One thing worth a second look: the company's own website gives three different founding stories on the same page — "since 2014," "over 8 years," and "over 20 years" of experience — self-contradictory marketing copy worth asking about directly rather than taking at face value. The BBB file, opened in March 2025, lists no complaints but also isn't accredited. For hardscaping, masonry, or a tricky drainage or chimney problem across the North Shore, Nehemias has a run of specific, detailed reviews behind it — just verify how long they've actually been in business before relying on the marketing copy.
We feel very lucky to have found Marvin for small hardscaping project. He listened to our ideas and truly wanted to help us achieve what we wanted - a rustic and substantial look for the back patio, front walkway, and front/sidewalk brick edging. As you can see in the back patio, we want some grass to grow between the nice field stones—it’s getting there! He had to break up a fair amount of ledge. And we asked him to retain a large mossy rock and work around it, which you can also see in one of the pictures. For the whole project, he had the skills, experience, design sense, and supplier connections to do our project on-budget, no surprises. He accommodated us if we asked for a couple small changes, and was always very responsive, and would make sure we are same page when resolving anything. In short, an excellent craftsman, trustworthy person, and fair but tough negotiator. We are very pleased, highly recommend.
Marvin and his crew were excellent. I originally bought his guys in to repair a wall in my garage and fix a small section of stone wall that was failing. We liked their work so much that we asked them to take care of another two walls we had and to replace our front walkway. Marvin did a good job of working with me to keep things in my budget and he was always very responsive when I reached out with questions. The work looks great and I’d be happy to recommend him to others.
Marvin and his crew performed snow removal for my elderly aunt in Danvers for the first time today. They were punctual, thorough and efficient. It is unique to find a service that provides hand shoveling which is the only effective snow removal for her home. They cleared all walkways and the driveway with great care. Thank you
Marvin is the best. We had the best snow removal ever. He has done yard work at my house too. He is polite and very efficient. I highly recommend him!
Marvin is a total pro. He removed my old bulkhead and installed a new one and did some excellent masonry work. I highly recommend him.
