Concord Tree & Landscape

Beware!!! We were hired by Shawn McCarthy at Concord Landscape to do a 26 condo snow removal at Maple Meadows in Sudbury MA, on 1/25/26 & 1/26/26. Work was completed as agreed but no payment was ever received (over $2,000). Also, around the same time frame he hired us to do a 5 tree removal job. Gave us a deposit check, tried to cash it his bank declined (no funds) We removed 2 of the trees and half of one in the meantime then stopped work. After numerous attempts at trying to contact Shawn the owner via text, calls & calling the main office number (happens to be temp disconnected) decided to post our experience here on Google before taking legal action. I'm shocked this business is still running after seeing other reviews of so many others being stiffed for payment and lousy unfinished wo

I am sharing my experience as a business owner who worked directly with Concord Tree & Landscape (also operating as Concord Design and Landscape). In July, they purchased materials from us and issued two checks from two different bank accounts, both of which were returned for insufficient funds. Despite multiple attempts to collect payment and direct communication with the owner, no payment has been made to date. We ultimately had to take the matter to small claims court. A judgment was awarded in our favor after the business failed to appear for the scheduled hearing. This review reflects my firsthand experience and the documented outcome of the legal process. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company to other businesses or consumers.

Review on my experience with Concord Tree & Landscape We had an extremely negative experience with the owner, Shawn McCarthy. Concord Tree & Landscape hired our services but never completed the agreed payment, even after multiple attempts to contact them and after sending all requested documentation.” “Without knowing it was connected, we also provided services for another company, Concord Design & Landscape. At the time, we had no idea it was owned by the same person. We only discovered this afterward, during our own investigation, including finding public information on LinkedIn showing that both companies are linked to the same owner. The outcome was identical: we worked for both companies and did not receive payment from either.” “After dealing with this situation, we also learned t

We are very happy with our courtyard renovation. Shawn and his team pulled out all of the old, poorly maintained, and overgrown trees, bushes, and groundcover, and installed the new hardscape and planting beds. He brought me with him to the greenhouse to tag the specimen tree to be certain I was happy with the shape and size. Cudos to his paving and planting teams as well. 2023 was a tough summer to get this work done, and much of it was done in the rain. I am attaching a before and after view as well as a group shot of the planting team. The warrantee follow up for the few plants that didn’t survive has yet to happen in spite of multiple requests. It is a disappointing turn to an otherwise good project.
