Reviews of local pros in Braintree, Massachusetts

I've had these folks do my spring clean up and an add on project every year for 10 years now. I've always been happy with the results of the cleanup and each project they've done (sprinklers, hardscaping) has been well communicated and turned out great. When winter starts coming to an end, I always reach out to them.

Matt has done jobs for us in the past. Everything his team has done has been great. This time around they replaced some pavers and it came out amazing. Very responsive and priced fairly.

We hired Matt a year ago to some minor landscaping work of moving trees and cleaning up the look. We were happy and hired them to do the mowing maintenance. The first season was great I was very impressed with the detail. This season everything was done in a rush and it looked it. I asked Matt to come and look at some dead grass and give me ideas of what I could do all he said was that they don’t fertilize. I then complained about the quality of the weekly maintenance. I got no response. The following week no one showed up to mow. I contacted the office to ask why and was told they canceled me and Matt had sent an email. I never got the email and asked for it to be resent and I never got a response. I guess lesson is not complain or ask for help or you will get terminated.

Matt and his team are extremely talented and professional. Their plantings, total landscape and patio design made our yard look fantastic. They're the best in the business. Highly recommend.

Matt and his team at MJ Nicholls were great to work with. They accounted for our budget and completed the work quickly and efficiently. They were very responsive with all follow-up calls after the work was completed. We would absolutely hire them again!

We’ve used Nicholls Landscaping for a lot over the last few years: hardscape, patio, French drains, re-sodding the lawn, fence installation, and Fall clean up. Always fast, professional service and reasonably priced. Great communication and everyone on the crew has been friendly.

We have been using Matt and team for years on a number of different projects. They are responsive, attentive and have great ideas. Once a plan is in place, the execution is second to none. We have always been surprised to the upside on how thorough they are and how quickly they get a job done. On the rare occasion we need a follow up, they are there immediately to address.

We enjoy working with MJ Nichols. They are always super responsive with special projects and initiatives. They keep the property looking amazing. Very talented fence repair techs. Highly recommend their entire team for any single family home to large condo properties.

We hired MJ Nicholls for spring clean up, mulching, and a granite step installation. The price was extremely fair and the work was exceptional. We’ve hired a different local company in the past and the end result was far superior with MJ Nicholls. Highly recommend.

My experiences with this company has been nothing short of incredible! I found Matt on Angie’s list (for those that remember that on line resource) back in 2000/2001 time frame. He personally showed up at my home in his single pick up truck and gave me an honest estimate of the work I asked to get completed.
I hired him and an outstanding job was done. 25+ years later he is my GO TO for any landscaping project or lawn maintenance or fencing or hardscaping or retaining wall (you get the idea) ! Bravo Matt, you’ve built a wonderful company and I recommend you whenever I can! Keep up the great work and I’m sure we shall cross paths soon!

MJ Nicholls installed a new set of granite steps and walkway, and we couldn't be happier. Matt was super responsive during the sales process, and they ended up installing a week earlier than scheduled. The crew was professional, the work is excellent, and they actually left our yard in better shape than they found it. (When they were cleaning up, they used some leftover loam and grass seed to fix a nearby spot where I'd just had a tree stump removed.) We've gotten a ton of compliments (now we just need to re-side our house so it look as good as the walkway!). We will definitely hire MJ Nicholls again.

MJ Nicholls put in a paver patio, retaining wall and path for us and it came out absolutely beautiful. Matt is super responsive and accommodating and the crew that did the job was incredibly fast and hard working. We would absolutely hire them again for future work.

We used M J Nicholls for both the replacement of our front steps and a complete renovation of our backyard. Both of these projects (completed within a few weeks of each other) were done on time, quickly, and with professionalism. We couldn't be happier with the results of these projects. I will definitely be using them again in the future and would recommend anyone to do the same. You can't go wrong.

The reason for my one star review is more about professionalism and the crew being rude…
So they were working on my neighborhood on colonel ln in Weymouth and when they saw me I ask them politely to stop the blower so I could pass cuz I didn’t want to get dirty on my way to work…
They didn’t care , didn’t stop the blower and even worse pointed the blower at my face and I have dust allergy.
That’s not the type of company that I would recommend, especially when they don’t have any manners.

I recently had the pleasure of working with MJ Nicholls for a landscaping project at my home, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Nicholls Landscaping and their team installed two block retaining walls, and their work was nothing short of exceptional.

Overall, I highly recommend Nicholls Landscaping for any landscaping needs. Their skill, professionalism, and dedication to customer satisfaction are truly commendable. The two block retaining walls they installed have exceeded my expectations, and I am thrilled with the transformation of my outdoor space.

Thank you, Matt, for your outstanding work. I look forward to working with you again in the future!

Have used Nicholls for the past few years to do yard clean ups, build a paver pad, mulch the yard, install French drains, sod, hydro seed, etc. They've been great all along the way! Highly recommended!

M J Nicholls has helped us on two projects so far and did a fantastic job on both. The first was a very intensive dry well installation. They came back twice to repair/update a few issues with the installation, per my request, but it has been working perfectly ever since. The installation process was smooth and the result had been a lifesaver to prevent flooding in our backyard, which would in turn back up into our basement. The cost in doing so was reasonable and well worth it in the long run. (Photos show what the yard looked like before and after. I've also included pictures of how bad the flooding was in the yard)

We also had them repair our damaged vinyl fence and the repair was done quickly, thoroughly, and seamlessly. (Before and after pictures included)

I am so pleased with the work they do and the knowledge and professionalism they bring to our home projects. Shout out to Mike for always being so friendly and a great communicator.

Edit: We have now also had MJ Nicholls put down mulch in our flower beds and on the perimeter of the yard and they did a beautiful job. The color and quality is really great and I'm so happy with how it brings everything together. (Pictures included of the mulch)

Matt, has been super responsive. We had a pretty big job, his crew was pleasant and flexible. We had changes and they were accommodating. Highly recommend Matt - honest and straight forward. Shows up when he says he will and does what he says he will.

If I could leave more stars I would!
When Matt Nicholls was just starting he talked about his education in landscape design and his enthusiasm for creating awesome spaces. Over time MJ Nicholls has become THE go-to landscaping company in the area. It is such a delight to see the success he has become.
Matt himself is creative and practical, and the crew for our project was diligent, professional, considerate, clean, and communicated clearly.
We had major and transformative landscape done—walls, walkways, irrigation, new lawns—and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results.
Bravo MJ Nicholls!

We have hired Nicholls Landscaping several times to work on our property. In 2021, they helped us overhaul our backyard, removing the grass and putting in plant beds and a stone walk. Everyone was very professional, communicated well, and worked with us to make sure we were happy with the outcome. You can see from the photo that it came out great. The next year, they helped us replace our fence (not pictured). We were very happy with their work on this project too. We highly recommend them.

Used them for a lawn renovation last fall, excavating the back yard, bringing in new loam and grading then sod installation. Had several quotes and their price was competitive and they worked very efficiently to complete the work in just two days. Mike who oversaw the crew came back a few times to check in on how things were going following the install. Lawn looks great this year and am really enjoying it heading into the summer.
