Northshore Landscape and Sealcoating LLC

Northshore Landscape and Sealcoating is a small North Shore crew — a two-employee corporation owned by Phil Lohnes that, per its BBB page, has been at it since 2005. BBB lists the shop at 298 Jefferson Ave in Salem; its Houzz profile calls it Peabody-based. Either way, the territory it claims runs across nine North Shore towns, from Salem and Peabody out to Marblehead, Swampscott, and Lynn. The service menu is wider than the name suggests. Alongside driveway sealcoating, the company lists full lawn maintenance, fertilization, edging and mulching, hardscaping and paver installation, seasonal and storm clean-ups, and snow plowing — its BBB profile even adds attic and basement clean-outs. Houzz shows two portfolio projects. What's missing is any customer voice. Neither the BBB page nor the Houzz profile shows a single written review, so the 21-year history is entirely the company's own account, with no public track record to check it against. The A+ BBB grade is real but comes without accreditation, and no star ratings or complaint counts appear on either page. If you're near its Salem–Peabody base and want one crew handling the yard year-round — mowing season through plow season — it's worth a call. Just ask for recent local references before booking, since none are published anywhere yet.
