O&P Landscapes

O&P Landscapes is a Salem lawn care and landscaping company run by Tom O'Hare Jr., who the company says started mowing neighborhood lawns as a middle schooler and grew the business each year before formalizing it after college — and the volume of praise behind that story is hard to overstate: 92 reviews since 2021, every one shown here five stars. The clearest theme across that many accounts is consistency and communication. Reviewers repeatedly describe Tom and his crew showing up exactly when scheduled, following up quickly on estimates, and cleaning up thoroughly before leaving. Several reviewers describe multi-year relationships — one calls this their second year with O&P doing lawn prep, cleanup, edging, and mulching; another moved between two homes and brought O&P along both times; a third, in a 2023 review, described Tom replacing boxwoods destroyed by drought and running an invoicing system worth praising on its own. Plant knowledge comes up specifically too: a 2022 review described a Korean dogwood researched and meticulously trimmed, coming out looking better than it had in seven years, and a 2025 reviewer said they specifically sought out a company that "knew plants rather than just a team with lawn mowers and leaf blowers." The client base extends beyond individual homeowners — a condominium association review from 2025 described vetting three companies before choosing O&P for a full spring cleanup (leaf and debris removal, mulch replacement, yew trimming across shared grounds), and another calls O&P "the best choice our Condo Association have made." Fast turnarounds show up too: one 2025 reviewer needed a badly overgrown new property cleared days before hosting a birthday party, and O&P fit them into the schedule and finished in half a day. There is nothing in this many reviews pointing to a service problem — the praise is remarkably uniform on responsiveness, cleanup, pricing, and the quality of the finished work. For lawn care, seasonal cleanup, pruning, or ongoing landscape maintenance in the Salem/North Shore area, the sheer depth and consistency here over five years make this one of the stronger cases in the area.
