Simply Lawn Care Services

Simply Lawn Care Services runs out of Peabody, and the company's own account tells a classic build-it-from-nothing story: co-founders Scott and Brandon say they started in 2020 with one pickup truck and a borrowed mower during the pandemic and grew the business through word of mouth, describing themselves as a local crew rather than a franchise. Today it serves Peabody, Melrose, and the wider North Shore doing residential lawn mowing, lawn care, and landscaping. The volume of praise is unusual: 184 reviews since 2022, the overwhelming majority five stars, and Google alone shows a 4.9-star average across 287 ratings. What stands out reading through them is how often reviewers name a specific technician — Nick, Manny, Anthony, Deacon, Chris, Nic, and others come up again and again — for weekly mowing, weed whacking, mulch beds, edging, and fall cleanups. Several customers describe switching over to weekly service after trying the company for a one-off job, and one 2022 review recalled using them repeatedly for cleanouts, edging, and compost work well before the recent run of reviews. A few reviewers also mention getting a text or email when weather pushed a visit back, which repeat customers point to as a reason they stayed. The track record isn't perfectly smooth. An April 2026 review said an appointment window (7am–5pm) came and went with no arrival and no explanation until the customer emailed, and the crew didn't turn up until 6:30 that evening. Separately, a 2025 review that praised the crew's work and communication said the actual pricing experience left them disappointed — worth clarifying costs and any add-on fees before the first visit, since it's the one recurring theme in an otherwise strongly positive history. For routine lawn care and seasonal cleanup on the North Shore, the volume and consistency of the reviews here are hard to match; just confirm the arrival window and get pricing spelled out up front.
