Simpson Garden Design

Simpson Garden Design works out of 17R Hawkes Street in Marblehead and describes itself as creating and maintaining gardens of distinction using earth-friendly practices. The Better Business Bureau lists it as a Landscape Contractor run by Larry Simpson with one employee, trading since January 2011. The public record is almost empty. Exactly one review exists anywhere, posted to Google in July 2026, and it is a single star: the reviewer says a mower was run right next to their new motorcycle and covered it in dirt and grass, that the office denied any responsibility when they called, and that the crew knew they had made a mistake while the owner would not stand behind it. That account sits oddly against everything else on file. It describes an office, a crew of several workers and a female owner, while BBB records this as a one-employee business managed by a man — so it is worth treating as a single unverified complaint rather than a settled verdict on this business, and it is the only customer voice published about the company either way. BBB grades the business A+ and states separately that it is not BBB accredited; those are two different facts, and the grade is not a customer rating. No complaint count is published. With one contested review and no other written history in fifteen years of trading, there is not enough here for a rating in either direction. If you are considering them for garden design or maintenance in Marblehead, ask directly for references from recent clients and for photographs of gardens they have installed and maintained over several seasons.
