Olson's Turf Irrigation & Landscaping

Peter Olson has run Olson's Turf Irrigation & Landscaping out of Swampscott since 1969, growing it from a small lawn-mowing service into a landscaping and irrigation-installation company — 57 years, by its own count. The company works lawn maintenance, sprinkler irrigation, landscaping, landscape construction and snow plowing across North Shore towns including Marblehead, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Beverly, Hamilton, Wenham and Boxford. The Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ rating. Olson says the business has belonged to the Irrigation Association of New England since the group's founding in 1982, and it's also a North Shore Chamber of Commerce member. For lawn care or an irrigation system on the North Shore, this is a company with decades of local history — confirm current pricing and scheduling, and ask about licensing or insurance for any landscape-construction work before booking.
