Y & C Landscaping & Masonry

Y & C Landscaping & Masonry is a Lynn-based crew led by Yovanni (also spelled Yovani/Jovani across platforms) that's built a broad track record — 30 reviews since 2024 across HomeAdvisor, Angi and Thumbtack — doing everything from routine mowing and mulching to full hardscape rebuilds. The recurring theme is communication: reviewers repeatedly mention Yovanni staying in touch throughout a job, crews remembering exactly what was asked for days after the initial quote, and projects finishing on the schedule given. The range of work is wide. On the landscaping side, jobs include clearing six-plus feet of overgrown weeds, removing invasive bushes, replacing rotted landscape timbers, and full-yard transformations with new sod and loam. On the masonry and hardscape side, the crew has built and capped retaining walls — including replacing caps across three condo units — installed stone veneer steps and paver walkways, and rebuilt a brick walkway and parking area. One customer who'd let their yard go through a fall and winter came back specifically for recurring lawn maintenance afterward. Two reviews stand out as exceptions. A 2025 Thumbtack review described a missed appointment — a reschedule shortly before the original time, then a no-show on the makeup date — before the non-urgent bush removal eventually got done. A separate 2025 Angi review, while still rating the crew 3.5 stars, said the job turned out to be more expensive than expected. For anyone weighing a landscaping or hardscape project, the volume and range of specific, named work here — walls, walkways, full yard rebuilds — backs up the near-uniform praise; it's worth nailing down a firm price and timeline given the one pricing and one scheduling complaint on record.
