Landscape & Hardscape in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.

Sometimes the project is not a wall or a patio — it is the whole site. On wooded hill above the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, with mature estate grounds, we take a property from rough grade to finished landscape: drainage and earthwork first, because a landscape that fights water never looks settled, then stonework, plantings, and the details that make a yard feel resolved.

Working over firm till on established grounds where existing planting must be protected, we start under the surface so the finished Chestnut Hill property sheds water, stays dry where it should, and never undermines the stonework above it.

Walls, patios, walkways, steps, and planting beds succeed when one crew builds them in the right sequence. We coordinate the hardscape and the softscape so the stone frames the plantings and the plantings soften the stone — tuned to the brick and stone estates, Tudors, and grand colonials on manicured lots of Hammond Pond, Old Chestnut Hill, and the Reservoir and the wider Greater Boston.

It is the difference between a resolved landscape and two trades fighting over the same ground.

Chestnut Hill estates carry mature, high-value landscapes — our work here is as much about protecting what exists as building what’s new.

On full-site projects we are frequently the execution crew for landscape architects and designers — much of our Greater Boston work in ongoing collaboration with Jonathan Keep Landscape Design. We read plans fluently, flag conflicts before they become change orders, and build exactly what was drawn.
