Salem Design Landscape & Construction

Salem Design Landscape & Construction — known to customers as Salem DLC — is a Salem-based outfit run by owner Kieran Kavanaugh, offering landscaping, irrigation, construction, and snow removal across Salem and the North Shore (Beverly, Swampscott, Marblehead, Peabody, Danvers, Lynn, and more). The written record leans landscaping: in a 2021 review, a customer described weekly maintenance and landscaping visits with Kieran himself, who "kept to his appointments and did an amazing job," and a 2025 review calls the design-through-implementation process "a great experience" with "very reasonable" costs and careful yard work. The company also takes on construction jobs — a bathroom renovation turns up in a 2024 review ("our bathroom renovation was awesome"), and in a 2021 review one office client used both the renovation and landscaping crews for their building and grounds. Its BBB page carries an A+ rating, though it isn't a BBB Accredited Business, and there's no negative feedback in the record. For ongoing lawn and landscape care with the option to bring in the same company for a smaller renovation, this is worth considering; for a larger remodel, the construction side of the business is thinner in the record than the landscaping.
