Nolasco Landscaping and Construction

Nolasco Landscaping and Construction is a Marblehead outfit run by an owner referred to in reviews as Rene, offering landscaping alongside stone/block wall repair, asphalt paving and stump removal, per its Angi and HomeAdvisor listings. Its Google page shows 1 star from six ratings, and the individual reviews return to the same handful of complaints again and again. A May 2026 review said the work fell short and that the business went unresponsive when asked to honor a three-month guarantee. A 2025 review described being promised a return visit to fix issues, then getting ignored calls and texts before being ghosted entirely. Two 2024 reviews — one on Google, one a detailed complaint on Angi — describe a landscaping job where the owner asked for more money mid-project, left stumps in the ground, never loamed or cleaned the excavated areas, and left the yard in a state the reviewer said would cost thousands to repair. A 2023 review said the crew took a fire pit without asking and broke two large clay pots, and a 2022 review called the work awful and the crew rude and unprofessional. Two March 2023 reviews on HomeAdvisor took the opposite view — one called the worker excellent, attentive and responsible — but those are the same two reviews mirrored on Angi, where the platform average of 3.5 stars from three ratings sits well above Google's, in part because Angi's own third review is the same detailed stump-and-excavation complaint described above. Given how consistent and specific the negative accounts are across several years and platforms, get scope, cleanup and any warranty in writing before paying beyond a deposit.
