Landscaping That Looks Finished and Stays That Way

One accountable crew for the full range of landscaping work across Lynn, the North Shore, and Essex & Middlesex Counties.

A Contractor's Mindset, Not Just "More Plants"

Great landscaping is about how the whole property works: how water drains after a storm, how beds meet the lawn cleanly, and how it all looks from the street every day — not just the week after install. Zacarias Tree & Landscaping has been family-run since 2002, and we bring a builder’s discipline to every yard we touch across Lynn and the North Shore.

Because we handle the full range of landscaping work in-house, you’re not stitching together separate vendors for design, planting, drainage, and upkeep. This page is your starting point — an overview of everything we do. From here you can jump straight to the specific service you need, whether that’s a full landscape redesign, a new lawn, fixing a soggy low spot, or keeping a property sharp season after season. We serve homeowners, property managers, and small commercial sites throughout Lynn, the North Shore, and Essex & Middlesex Counties.

Why the Fundamentals Come First

The difference between a yard that looks good for a season and one that looks good for years is almost always what happens below the surface. Before any service begins, we look at how your property drains, how much sun each area gets, and what your soil is actually like — because the wrong plant in the wrong spot, or a bed sitting on unamended ground, fails no matter how well it’s installed.

That’s why our services connect. A redesign accounts for grade and drainage. A new lawn starts with proper soil prep. Plantings are matched to our New England hardiness zone so they thrive instead of struggle. And once the bones are right, ongoing maintenance keeps everything on track. Getting these fundamentals right up front is what makes the rest easy — and it’s the through-line across every one of the landscaping services above.

When a job also calls for a patio, a walkway, a retaining wall, or an overgrown tree removed first, our landscaping crew coordinates directly with our hardscaping and tree care teams so the whole property comes together as one project.

What to Expect and What Affects Cost

Every property is different, so we don’t quote landscaping from a price list — we quote from a site visit. A few things shape the scope and cost of any landscaping work on the North Shore:

  • Size and access. How much area is involved and how easily crews and materials can reach it.
  • Site conditions. Soil quality, existing grade, drainage issues, and how overgrown a property has become.
  • Scope. A one-time project resets a property; an ongoing maintenance plan keeps it that way. Many clients start with a project and roll into maintenance once the bones are right.
  • Materials. Plant sizes, sod versus seed, mulch volume, and any hardscape elements a design calls for.

As a licensed, bonded, and fully insured company with 85+ years of combined experience and 1,500+ local jobs behind us, we give you a clear, free estimate up front — with complete cleanup included so you’re left with a finished property, not a mess.

Landscaping FAQs

Landscaping Questions, Answered

What landscaping services do you offer?

The full range: landscape design and construction, lawn installation and renovation, grading and drainage solutions, planting and mulch installation, seasonal cleanups, and ongoing property maintenance. Each has its own page with the details, and one crew handles them all.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance or just one-time projects?

Both. Many clients start with a cleanup, redesign, or new lawn and then move to a property maintenance plan so the results stay sharp without them thinking about it. See our property maintenance and seasonal cleanups pages for how those work.

How do I know which service I actually need?

Start with a free estimate. We'll walk the property, look at drainage, sun, soil, and the current condition, and point you to the right service — whether that's a redesign, a new lawn, drainage work, or simple maintenance.

Do you work with property managers and commercial sites?

Yes. We support homeowners as well as property managers who need consistent results and reliable scheduling across multiple visits and seasons throughout Lynn, the North Shore, and Essex & Middlesex Counties.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — Zacarias is licensed, bonded, and fully insured. We've been family-run since 2002, with 85+ years of combined experience and more than 1,500 local jobs completed across the North Shore.

How much does landscaping cost?

It depends on the service, the size and condition of the property, site access, and the materials involved, so we quote from a site visit rather than a price list. Estimates are always free, and complete cleanup is included.
