Northshore Landscape and Sealcoating is a two-person Salem operation run by Phil Lohnes out of Jefferson Ave. The BBB dates the business to 2005 and grades it A+. The yard work runs with the season — lawn maintenance, fertilization, pruning, edging and mulching, seasonal and storm clean-ups — and widens into driveway sealcoating, snow plowing, and attic and basement clean outs. What customers wrote is all from 2017, and it splits. That September, a reviewer called the price reasonable and said Lohnes himself was easy to reach with questions. Two others that year were angry: in April, a reviewer said the workers damaged and left debris on a neighbor's vehicle; in November, a buyer disputed the amount of seasoned firewood delivered and said the Town of Saugus Weights and Measures sealer came out and measured it. For lawn upkeep or a driveway seal around Salem, deal with Lohnes directly — that is what the good 2017 review pointed to — and put the quantities, the scope and who cleans up in writing before the work starts.

I ordered 384 cubic feet of seasoned firewood. 128 cubic feet stacked per regulatory guidelines equals one cord. The owner, Philip Lohnes, is extremely unprofessional. The Sealer from the Weights and Measures Division from the Town of Saugus came and measured the firewood and found it measured 272 cubic feet. I have been shorted almost one full cord. Do not buy firewood or do any other business with this company. AVOID!!!!!
This company provides a great service at a reasonable price. Phil Lohnes is the owner and you can work with him if any concerns or questions arise.
Horrible company. Damaged and left debris all over the vehicle of customers neighbor. Very disrespectful workers. STAY AWAY!!
