Nehemias Landscaping & Construction

One name carries this company's reviews: Marvin, in 13 of the 17 Google reviews left since 2023 — usually attached to a patio, a set of front steps, or a stone wall that needed rebuilding. The Lynn company describes itself as a family-owned landscape construction, hardscaping and masonry business working the North Shore and Middlesex County, with patios, walkways, retaining walls, driveway pavers, irrigation, excavation and snow plowing on its own list. What customers write about is the stonework. In a May 2026 review, homeowners wanted a rustic, substantial look for a back patio, front walkway and brick edging along the sidewalk, and said they felt lucky to have found him. A September 2025 customer had a field stone wall installed that blended with the walls already on the property. An October 2025 review describes a whole chimney replacement; another from that same month covers two sets of stairs in bad shape at a rental property, done on time and cleaned up afterward. Money talk runs the same direction. The chimney customer said the estimate was fair and the price basically stayed put, with no hidden issues. A June 2024 review about a concrete surround for a very large pool said they were charged the original estimated price with no add-ons, and a September 2024 review called the quote for a front brick stair rebuild reasonable. Two January 2026 reviews cover the other half of the year's work: snow. One describes hand shoveling for an elderly relative in Danvers — punctual and thorough, and the writer noted hand shoveling is the only thing that clears that particular house. One thing to square up front. The company's own About page is inconsistent about how long it has been doing this, saying it has provided landscaping since 2014 in one line, over 8 years of experience in another, and over 20 years elsewhere. Its Better Business Bureau file, opened in 2025, carries an A- and the business is not accredited. If you have a patio, a walkway, a failing stone wall or steps that need rebuilding, those are the jobs homeowners in the North Shore towns on its service list keep calling them for. Get the scope and the number in writing before anyone starts — the customers happiest about cost are the ones who had a quote first — and ask directly how many years they have been at this, since the company's own site answers that three different ways.
