Stanwood Landscaping

Stanwood Landscaping is a family business — brothers Matt and David Stanwood started it in 2014 and still run every side of it, from lawn mowing and cleanups to masonry, landscape construction and winter plowing across Newburyport and the North Shore/NH Seacoast. The reviews that stand out are the multi-year ones: one customer has used them for three years and says the service keeps getting better without costing much more, and another, a several-year client, calls Matt and Dave friendly, prompt and reliable with consistently excellent work. This past winter's record snowfall is where they seem to have earned real loyalty — one review describes them going above and beyond with plowing, shoveling and sanding to keep a driveway and walkways clear through every storm. The one blemish is older: a 2023 review described a missed shed-installation timeline and said the company was unresponsive to calls and emails afterward, forcing the homeowner to scramble for another contractor two weeks before delivery. That was about a one-off carpentry/structure job rather than their regular lawn or snow work, and nothing similar shows up in the reviews since. For routine lawn care, cleanups and snow removal, the recent record is strong and consistent; for a larger one-time project like a shed or hardscape build, it's worth pinning down the schedule and getting it in writing given that 2023 account.
