Alden Laurel is a Concord-based residential landscape design, build, and garden-care firm serving homeowners across MetroWest Boston. The company says the Laurel side of the business dates to 1985 and Alden to 2000, and its work includes landscape planning, planting, stonework, outdoor living spaces, construction coordination, and fine garden maintenance. The written customer history is consistently positive: eight five-star reviews from 2020 through January 2026 across Google Reviews and Houzz. A January 2026 homeowner described a landscaping design and ongoing garden-maintenance project, praising the team's plant expertise, design-to-build coordination, and seasonal plantings. In a September 2024 review, a homeowner said Gail, her crew, and subcontractors turned a long-held property vision into a collaborative project. A June 2024 review specifically praised Tim and Nancy for plant, pruning, feeding, and mulching expertise. Older Houzz accounts add concrete examples. In 2023, a homeowner praised the front-landscape redesign and the team's design judgment. A 2020 reviewer described perennial-bed redesign, tree and shrub planting, native restoration in a conservation-restricted area, and coordination with tree companies, landscapers, stone masons, and nurseries. Other 2020 reviews describe an overgrown-yard transformation completed on schedule and budget, guidance on a historic home, and a small-space parking-area design. Houzz lists 15 projects and services ranging from landscape and garden design to hardscaping, masonry, pond construction, outdoor lighting, and project management. Before booking, confirm the project scope, the construction specialists involved, and the ongoing-care plan, since the work spans both design-led installations and maintenance. The online profiles use both Concord and Lincoln in their business details, while the official site gives Concord as the address and lists Concord, Lincoln, Lexington, Weston, Wellesley, and Sudbury as service areas. Alden Laurel looks best suited to homeowners seeking a design-and-care relationship for a residential landscape rather than basic lawn mowing.
I recently hired Alden-Laurel for a landscaping design project and ongoing garden maintenance. The results are stunning! From the initial consultation it was clear that the team members at Alden-Laurel are plant experts and understand the aesthetic nuance of our property They handled everything from the initial design process, build process and seasonal plantings with incredible attention to detail. It’s hard to find a landscape company that combines high-end design with reliable, professional services. Highly recommend for anyone looking for premium residential landscape design or garden services.
Across this past year Gail and her crew and subs have done a remarkable job bringing to life what we’d hoped for when we bought this small property 40 years ago. I was a young carpenter so across the years I’ve worked with a fair number of architects, designers and landscape contractors so I know of what I speak. In my book Alden/Laurel is the best I’ve ever met and worked with. From the first meeting it was clear that what would evolve was an entirely collaborative, joyful process to finish what we began all those years ago. Gail and her managers are always organized and efficient, the crew always invested and pleasant to work with, we simply can’t say enough as to how fully we recommend Alden/Laurel for everything they do, from design through to the landscaping and maintenance these are entirely professional people working to the highest standards.
I am so glad to have Alden Laurel's help with my gardens. Tim is an invaluable resource for information on plants and planting, pruning, feeding, mulching, and the rest. He knows everything! Tim and Nancy do a great job at the house and we are grateful for their expertise and hard work. And they're really nice, too!
Gail and her team are outstanding - expert design eye and creativity without being overly showy or busy. And a great knowledge of landscaping with talented hired subs that do the work well! We are so happy with our new front landscaping!
I have worked with Gail at Alden Landscape on several projects over the 10 years. Each experience has exceeded my expectations! Gail has redesigned my perennial beds, planned and planted a large tree and shrub border, and in addition restored an invasive-filled conservation restricted area requiring all native plantings. Gail has not just designed and advised, but has coordinated all of the contractors needed to get the landscaping done. She has great working relationships with tree companies, landscapers, stone masons, and nurseries. She gets the job done in a professional and timely manner and for a reasonable price. The results are outstanding! I would highly recommend Alden Landscape Design.
