Grounds of Nature Landscaping Inc.

When a snow plow tore into a customer's stone retaining wall this past spring, Grounds of Nature had a quote out within 24 hours and finished the rebuild early so the homeowner could make a real estate showing — the kind of turnaround that keeps turning up in what people say about this Lynn, MA outfit. The company says it has spent over 13 years doing landscaping, hardscaping, and masonry work, and reviewers consistently name the owner, Gumercindo ("Gumer"), directly for showing up himself and running the crew. The last six months alone brought a dozen five-star reviews with nothing negative mixed in: a tree-and-shrub removal job finished with a genuinely clean site afterward, a new patio built around a customer's request for a Japanese Maple and an Asian garden, an overgrown backyard cleared out and reseeded with sod and a refreshed firepit area. Several other reviewers describe using them season after season for ongoing lawn upkeep rather than a single cleanup, which lines up with a Google rating of 4.9 across 123 ratings and a longer run of 121 reviews stretching back to 2021 across six different sources. Angi shows a smaller sample — 4.3 from three reviews — and the Better Business Bureau lists an A+ grade, though the business hasn't sought BBB accreditation. The one complaint on record, from last fall, describes three missed appointments in a row for an in-person estimate rather than any problem with finished work — a scheduling miss, not a quality one, but worth raising directly if you're trying to book during a busy stretch, since this is a small, owner-run crew. For patio builds, retaining-wall repairs, and full-yard cleanups around Lynn, Winchester, and Lexington, this reads like a crew regulars keep rehiring. Nail down a start date up front, since Gumer's own schedule seems to run tight enough to cause the occasional no-show for a first visit.
