Norm's Landscaping works the seasonal calendar on the South Shore: spring cleanups, mowing and mulching through the warm months, fertilizing and tree and shrub care, then snow and ice removal when the weather turns. The company says it was established in 2006 and that John Weir owns it, and it lists Kingston, Duxbury, Plymouth, Marshfield and Pembroke as the towns it covers. In January 2024 a homeowner called John and his crew for a spring cleanup — mow, trim the bushes, mulch — and got the job done exactly as asked: front and back mowed, debris and sticks cleared, the work quick and efficient. The company's other Google review, from May 2023, came from someone who never hired it. A neighbor of a customer wrote that crews working next door repeatedly came onto their property, opening a closed gate and trampling a flower bed, and that employees were smoking and throwing butts on the ground. That is about how a crew behaved around a job rather than about the landscaping itself, but it is worth raising up front if your yard runs tight to the property line. For a Kingston-area homeowner who wants one crew for the whole year — April cleanup through winter plowing — Norm's covers that range. Walk the property lines with them and settle where equipment gets staged before the first visit, get the scope and schedule in writing, and ask for a certificate of insurance.

John and his crew did an exceptional job when I called them to have them do a spring cleanup, mow, trim some bushes, and mulching at my property. They were quick and efficient and did the job exactly as I asked. They mowed the front and back and cleaned up all the debris, sticks, and leaves left over from last year. It looked good as new when they were done! I definitely recommend them and will be using them again in the future!
I have never used this company and never would. They worked on my next door neighbors yard and would frequently trespass onto my property, opening a closed gate, trampling through my flower bed to do work. Employees would be be smoking, throwing butts on the ground. The Employees were very sketchy and I was dealing with the recent death of my dad, so I just would not engage. The owner, John Weir knocked on my door one day and asked to access my property to do work. I was busy,on phone, just said yes and granted him access. I thought he was going to remove the dead downed tree from my neighbors yard that crashed onto my fence, knocking it down, and my Rhododendron. A few weeks later, I checked the area, the downed tree was still there. Shockingly I saw that he had completely cut, eventually killing a my very large, mature Rhododendron that was not impeding or entering my neighbors yard. I was sick to my stomach. I have heard similar stories from many people. This is a disgusting company, do not use them.
