Pinebrook Landscaping

Pinebrook Landscaping is a Gloucester, family-run outfit that reviewers refer to almost exclusively by owner Tony Piraino's first name — the same story about attentive, hands-on service repeats across more than 40 reviews spanning 2022 through 2026. The specifics build a picture of a full-service yard company rather than just a mowing crew: reviewers describe stone pathways, decks, retaining walls, gating, and irrigation alongside the routine spring/fall cleanups and weekly mowing. One 2025 review described new brick steps and bush replanting completed quickly at a fair price; another, from 2025, credited Tony with a stone wall project that 'looks amazing'; a third, also from 2025, described 12 years of landscape design, tree removal and mulching that the reviewer rated 'always a 10.' Snow removal and plowing show up too — a 2025 review described Tony making sure a driveway was cleared while the homeowner was traveling. Longevity of individual relationships is the recurring theme: multiple reviewers describe using Pinebrook for 10, 12, even nearly 20 years, several specifically praising Tony for personally overseeing every job rather than handing it off. One thing worth knowing before calling: the Better Business Bureau gives the business a B- grade, citing a failure to respond to one complaint on file, and it is not BBB-accredited. There's also a mismatch in the company's own account of its history — its website says the business 'started in Gloucester over 35 years ago,' but elsewhere on the same site says owner Tony Piraino personally started the company in 2003, and BBB separately lists 46 years in business. The three figures don't agree, so the actual founding date is worth asking about directly. None of that shows up in the reviews themselves, which are close to uniformly glowing on both detail and outcome — spring/fall cleanups done fast and clean, fair pricing, and an owner reviewers describe as personally responsive even after many years as a client. Worth a call for ongoing lawn care or a hardscaping project, with the standard ask about the BBB complaint and the company's actual history before signing on.
