Pinebrook Landscaping

Pinebrook Landscaping is a Gloucester, MA outfit built around the seasonal rhythm of a New England yard — spring cleanups, fall cleanups, mowing, and the hardscaping that goes with it. The company describes itself as family-owned, with owner Tony Piraino personally overseeing every job; the site's own history is a little muddled, claiming both 'over 35 years' in business and that Piraino started the company in 2003, so take the tenure claim as a company story rather than a verified fact. What holds up across the company's history is the same pattern from customer after customer: people keep coming back for another season. One long-time client describes a decade of yearly upkeep, and that repeat-business shape runs through 42 reviews dating back to 2022, most centered on cleanups, mowing, planting, and small hardscape work like walkways and steps. Google puts them at a 5-star average across 46 ratings. The most recent entry in this history, a spring cleanup logged in April 2026, keeps that streak going, though it's a short review without much beyond 'fantastic job.' Two things are worth asking about before signing on. The Better Business Bureau grades the company a B-, specifically for not responding to a complaint filed against it, and it isn't a BBB-accredited business — worth raising if you'd want recourse through the BBB. And despite surfacing in a search for fence contractors, nothing on the company's own site or in any review here describes fence installation; every specific example is lawn care, cleanup, or hardscaping. Anyone who needs an actual fence built should look elsewhere. Pinebrook reads as a fit for ongoing yard maintenance and small hardscape projects around Gloucester and the North Shore — the kind of company people hire once and keep calling for years. Before booking, confirm current insurance and get specifics on what a cleanup or hardscape job includes, and ask directly about the unresolved BBB complaint.
