Old Elm Landscaping, Inc. is a landscaping company based in Kingston, Massachusetts that reports 20 years of experience and describes its focus as drainage, hardscape and water features, landscape design and construction, and lawn care. The clearest, most repeated praise on Angi is for tree removal. A 2018 review described crews clearing a large tree that had fallen almost onto a deck, splitting it for firewood and returning weeks later to dig out the root ball once the ground thawed. Another 2018 review recounted a fully uprooted 60-foot cedar tree removed branch, trunk and stump, with the yard raked, leveled and cleaned up in just a few hours, and a third called the crew the only contractor willing to take a storm-cleanup job after a March nor'easter, in and out without trouble. Reviewers from 2017 into 2018 also described routine yard work — lawn mowing, aeration, and spring and fall cleanups — as reliable and professional, several naming a crew member Andrew as responsive, reasonably priced and willing to offer design solutions the homeowner hadn't considered. One 2018 review described Andrew installing a patio with a retaining wall and plantings, calling the result better than expected. A separate 2018 review credited Andrew with courteous, on-time snow removal and said the reviewer planned to hire him again for a walkway that spring. Angi lists a 4.8-star average from 21 ratings, though only 18 of those carry retrievable review text; one 2018 review reported a full voicemail box when trying to leave a message. All of the written reviews on file date from September 2017 through April 2018, so current availability, pricing and crew are worth confirming directly before booking. Old Elm Landscaping is a reasonable call for tree removal, routine lawn care, and small hardscape work like patios and retaining walls for homeowners in the Kingston area — particularly those who want a crew that will suggest design tweaks rather than just execute a plan, provided they follow up by phone if a voicemail goes unanswered.

Was the only contractor to take the job after the March 2 storm. In and out, trouble-free.
Good job
They removed a very large tree that had fallen almost onto the deck of our house, cut it into split-able sizes and stacked them neatly near our woodshed. The large root ball had to be removed once the ground thawed which they did a couple of weeks later. It was a very difficult job but they stuck with it until it came loose. I highly recommend this contractor.
Empty the voicemail box
Completely removed a fallen uprooted 60 foot cedar tree. Removed all branches, trunk and stump. Filled in where stump was and leveled. Raked and removed all clippings and miscellany from the area. Looks now as if tree was never there. Excellent job done in just a few hours. I would highly recommend this company.
