**Trade:** Masonry · **Address:** 18 Arlington St #1, Lynn, MA 01902, USA · **Phone:** (617) 582-2314 · **Website:** https://primelandscapingandmasonry.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 4.0/5** (medium confidence) — from 9 reviews across 4 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 2 reviews, 0 negative.

## The honest read

Prime Gardens & Masonry's reviews keep landing on the same beat: a tired patio or yard turned around fast. One reviewer says their old patio 'went to amazing' within 48 hours; another chose the Lynn-based crew specifically because they could handle both foundation work and a full patio install in one job. Google shows a 5★ rating from 21 ratings, and every one of the nine written reviews on file is five stars too.

A recent review describes a backyard project finished at a fair, responsive price, and another recent one praises quick leaf removal and bush pruning, with Joe himself called friendly, professional and punctual.

The bigger jobs on file are the most detailed: a 2025 review described an old patio and fence completely rebuilt — new pavers and cobblestone, a vinyl fence with a heavy-duty gate — with the crew staying on schedule through bad weather and coming back quickly afterward to make adjustments. Another 2025 review described combined foundation and patio work, including new basement window wells, calling the whole process stress-free. A 2024 review specifically called out a new cedar fence job.

Per its own site, the company also handles lawn care, walkways, stone walls, driveways, firepits, gutter cleaning, and seasonal snow removal across the North Shore and Northwest Massachusetts. With a short but completely clean written record, Prime Gardens & Masonry reads as a solid call for a hardscape, patio, or combined landscaping project — there just isn't yet a long enough track record to speak to how they handle things years down the line.

**Strengths:**
- Fast turnarounds — one patio rebuild finished in 48 hours with no detail missed
- Combined projects — handles foundation and patio work together in one job
- Weather-proof scheduling — a 2025 review said the crew stayed on schedule through bad weather
