Gallagher Landscaping

Gallagher Landscaping has run full-service lawn care and landscape construction out of Braintree since 1999, by the company's own account — though the owner's LinkedIn profile puts his time running the business closer to 23 years, which lands nearer 2003 and doesn't quite square with the website's origin story. Either way, they've covered the same stretch of the South Shore for a long while: Boston, Braintree, Quincy, Weymouth, Hingham, Cohasset, Scituate, and Norwell, handling everything from lawn mowing and seasonal cleanups to retaining walls, paver patios and walkways, irrigation upkeep, and commercial snow plowing once winter hits. The reputation holds up wherever you look for it. Google puts them at 4.7 stars from 13 ratings, the Better Business Bureau grades them A+ (they're not an accredited member, which just means they haven't paid for that status), and independent landscaping directories describe the same full-service lawn-care operation rather than something padded for one platform. Reviews going back to 2023 lean positive, though the weighted tone underneath those numbers runs a bit cooler than the star averages suggest — a sign the picture isn't uniformly glowing, even if nothing specific and recent stands out as a dealbreaker. The one thing worth confirming directly is coverage: the self-reported service area spans eight towns from Boston down to Norwell, a wide net for a shop split across a Braintree office and a second North Scituate location, so it's worth double-checking your address is still solidly inside their working radius this season. For ongoing lawn maintenance or a landscape construction project anywhere on the South Shore, they're a long-tenured option with agreement across every source that checks out — Google, BBB, and the directories all tell the same story. Given the modest total review count, it's still worth asking for a couple of recent references before signing on for a bigger job like a retaining wall or patio install.
