Perennial Landscaping is a hardscape- and drainage-focused landscaping company based in Boxford, Massachusetts, founded in 1992 by owner Mike Winslow. The company's own site emphasizes paver walkways and driveways, retaining and stone walls, French and exterior drains, grading, steps, and seasonal snow removal, serving the North Shore, Merrimack Valley, and Essex County as well as southern New Hampshire and Maine. A decade of written reviews, mostly from 2008 through 2017 on Angi and HomeAdvisor, describe consistent hands-on hardscape and drainage work: a 2011 reviewer reported a wet basement waterproofing project that left them with no water in the basement since, a 2016 review from a customer mid-project called Mike Winslow "an honest, straight forward" operator who kept them updated throughout, and a 2017 review praised a completed paver walkway. Reviewers repeatedly describe fair, as-quoted pricing and a crew that finishes on time. The one recent review, from 2022, describes a larger hardscape project — tearing down an old railroad-tie retaining wall and hill, removing large boulders, working existing ledge rock into the new design, and building a patio around a gas fire pit — and calls the results some of the best landscaping the homeowner had seen. All ten written reviews on file are five stars where a rating was given, with zero negative accounts across any source. Two things are worth asking about before booking: the written record is heavily weighted toward jobs from over a decade ago, with only a single review from the last several years, so recent availability and current pricing are worth confirming directly; and the company's website states it has been operating since 1992 (34 years) while its Angi/HomeAdvisor listing describes "more than 17 years" in business, a discrepancy worth a quick clarifying question.
