Trusted family ownership coupled with landscaping and maintenance excellence supports residents and businesses spanning the South Shore and Cape Cod
McGRATHPR.com – Harmon & Sons, Inc., a family-owned and operated landscaping and property maintenance company rooted in Plymouth, is celebrating its 40th anniversary, marking four decades of consistent growth, craftsmanship, and commitment to the communities it serves across the South Shore and Cape Cod. The 40th anniversary year will be marked by special milestones and reflections on the company’s history, as Harmon & Sons looks ahead to continued growth while staying true to its family-owned roots.
Founded in 1985 by Mark Harmon, initially as a small, part-time handyman operation, the company launched with a narrow list of services and side projects that included painting and landscaping. The evenings and weekends worked quickly evolved into a full-time family business as Mark’s father, Hollis Harmon, joined him in the early 1990s, followed soon after by Mark’s brother, Shawn. Together, three generations laid the foundation for a company built on hard work, reliability, and pride in every project.
By the mid-1990s, Harmon & Sons had expanded its landscaping and painting services and developed a growing client base throughout the region. In 2000, the next generation officially joined the business when Mark’s son, Andy Harmon, came on board, ushering in a new chapter focused on long-term growth and expanded service offerings. In 2004, Mark left his other job to devote himself fully to the company, a turning point that accelerated Harmon & Sons’ trajectory.

“Being part of Harmon & Sons isn’t just my career, it’s my family’s story,” shares Andy Harmon. “As we celebrate 40 years, I’m proud of how the company has evolved while staying true to the values my father founded it on, and I’m excited about where the next generation will take us.”
As demand increased, the business outgrew its home-based operations and relocated to its first dedicated location at Camelot Park in 2008–2009. By 2010, Harmon & Sons had become a trusted name for comprehensive landscaping services, adding irrigation, hardscaping, and landscape construction to its core offerings.
In 2015, hardscape design and construction became a major focus, further strengthening the company’s reputation for full-service exterior solutions. In 2020, Harmon & Sons officially incorporated as Harmon & Sons, Inc., a milestone year made even more meaningful by the company’s ability to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic by prioritizing employees and maintaining service continuity for clients.
Over the years, Harmon & Sons’ commitment to quality and workplace culture has been recognized throughout the region. The company was named to the “Cape & Plymouth Businesses to Watch” list in 2024 and was recently recognized as one of the “Best Places to Work” for 2025. Earlier honors include BOSS Awards for Property Management in 2018 and being voted the “#1 Landscape Company in the Region” in a 2019 Wicked Local Readers’ Choice poll, among numerous other industry and community accolades earned over the decades.
Today, Harmon & Sons, Inc. provides a wide range of residential and commercial services, including landscape maintenance, lawn mowing, irrigation installation and maintenance, hardscape design and construction, snow management, landscape lighting, planting, and lawn installation. The company serves communities throughout the region, frequently in Plymouth, Carver, Middleboro, Kingston, Duxbury, Norwell, Sandwich, Harwich, and Barnstable, with continued growth planned in Scituate, Norwell, Hingham, and across Cape Cod.
“As we celebrate 40 years, we’re incredibly grateful to our employees, clients, and communities who have supported us along the way,” said Mark Harmon, founder of Harmon & Sons, Inc. “What began as a small family operation has grown into something we’re deeply proud of—and our clients are as well. We’re excited to keep building for the next generation.”
