Landscape & Hardscape in Wellesley, Massachusetts.

Sometimes the project is not a wall or a patio — it is the whole site. On rolling drumlins and mature, established landscapes, 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 dense glacial till that holds water, so drainage detailing behind walls and beneath patios is non-negotiable, we start under the surface so the finished Wellesley 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 colonials, Tudors, and center-entrance estates with formal grounds of Cliff Estates, Wellesley Farms, and the Country Club district and the wider MetroWest.

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

Wellesley properties tend to carry decades of mature planting — we work tight to specimen trees and existing grades so new stone reads as original to the house.

On full-site projects we are frequently the execution crew for landscape architects and designers — much of our MetroWest 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.
