MSL Landscaping

MSL Landscaping works out of Lynn and is hired mostly for seasonal yard work — clean-ups, mulch, sod and lawn care — with a steady sideline in hardscape: retaining walls, patios and stone paths. Homeowners writing between 2018 and 2025 name Moises (also written Moise and Moses) as the person who runs the crew and turns up on the job himself. The written record is long and unusually consistent. Google publishes 5 stars from 6 ratings; Angi and HomeAdvisor each publish 4.9 from 23, which is one syndicated profile rather than two independent ones. What the accounts describe is specific work: a 40-foot retaining wall with roughly 20 square feet of patio that needed significant excavation, in a November 2020 review; 180 feet of garden pathways laid with metal edging, landscape cloth, crushed stone, cement, stepping stones and pea stone, finished in three days of 90-degree weather, in an August 2021 review; a lawn regrade, hydroseeding, a small retaining wall and a fall clean-up across repeat visits described in November 2019; sod and mulch in a 2024 Google review; and arborvitae planting, a patio and a yard-and-pool-area clean-up in 2025 Google reviews. Two themes repeat often enough to plan around. The first is speed: a January 2020 reviewer said MSL answered within an hour of the request, estimated that afternoon and did the work the next day, and a 2025 Google reviewer was scheduled the same week they asked. The second is price — a December 2018 reviewer said the quote was the lowest of those they collected, and a May 2019 reviewer called the price very reasonable. Crews are also described clearing debris and leaving the site tidy. Worth knowing before booking: most of the detailed written accounts are dated. The newest written directory review is October 2023 and 20 of the written accounts predate 2021, while the recent picture rests on six Google reviews from 2024 and 2025. The largest hardscape jobs on record are the 2020 wall and the 2021 pathway, so it is fair to ask for recent examples at that scale. They are a sensible call for routine seasonal yard work and mid-size hardscape around Lynn. Confirm scope and price in writing, and ask what the current crew size and lead time look like.
