BACK YARD LIVING LLC

Back Yard Living is an Abington, MA outdoor-living business — the Better Business Bureau lists it as a garden center with 21 years in business and an A+ rating, while Houzz describes a 15,000-square-foot display center for hardscape materials, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, furniture, and lighting. On its own website, the company says it supplies outdoor living, hardscape, stone, and landscape materials and serves the South Shore and Greater Boston area. Recent reviews are largely positive: a November 2025 review called the company responsive, with products it called top quality, and an October 2025 review described a family's fiberglass pool, purchased and installed earlier that year, that they were pleased with. A September 2023 review praised a consultation with Dan for helping navigate a project through multiple scenarios, and an August 2024 review from a three-year customer called the staff consistently helpful and knowledgeable. Two older reviews raise real problems. An October 2023 review, about a hardscaping and landscaping project for the reviewer's mother, called an employee named Ronnie unprofessional. A December 2021 review described the company shipping pavers the customer hadn't ordered, after failing to source the ones that were, without notifying the customer first. On Google the business holds a 4.4 rating across 54 reviews. This is a solid stop for hardscape materials, a patio or walkway project, or an outdoor kitchen or fireplace — given the complaints above, confirm order details and project timelines in writing before work begins.
