Pear Tree Property Services

Pear Tree Property Services is a Hanover, Massachusetts landscaping outfit that South Shore homeowners hire mainly for seasonal property care — spring and fall clean-ups, weekly mowing, mulching and edging — and, less often, for larger design-and-build work in the yard. The review history is deep and current: reviews on file run from 2023 through 2026, and Google publishes a 4.9-star average from 155 ratings. Reviewers consistently name Jesse as the person they deal with — one 2026 reviewer describes him as the owner — and they name the crew leaders too, crediting Gibba, Tyler, Cory, Kenny and Joe by name for the work on their own properties. The praise is unusually specific about clean-ups: a homeowner in April 2026 wrote that after a spring cleanup "the entire property looks incredible" and that the crew lead checked in as the work went; another described a storm-debris clean-up where the crew blew out the flowerbeds and cleared the whole perimeter. The bigger projects show up less often but in more detail. One homeowner had Japanese knotweed killed off over several months and the area overseeded, roughly doubling the usable yard; another had an unusable space behind the house redesigned and rebuilt; a third had fourteen trees planted along a fence line for privacy; a 2025 reviewer said the digital renderings shown beforehand matched the finished landscape. Two one-star accounts are worth raising before you book. In April 2026 a homeowner said a fall topsoil-and-seed job left them still picking pebbles, stones and shards of glass out of the lawn — the sharpest complaint on file, and it is about ground preparation, the same category of work the design-and-build projects rest on. In April 2025 another reviewer said the work was sub-par and that the foreman rode the mower while the crew worked. Both are isolated against the volume of positive accounts, but both describe execution rather than scheduling. They are a straightforward call for recurring seasonal maintenance on the South Shore, where the record is deepest and most recent. For a build — new lawn, planting beds, hardscape — ask specifically how the site is prepared and screened before seeding, get the scope and the crew lead in writing, and confirm who will be on site each day.
