Bean Landscaping and Construction is a Danvers hardscaping and landscaping company that Matt Bean says he's run since 2013, and across sixteen reviews from the past three years, one thing keeps repeating: homeowners describe Matt personally showing up, taking on jobs other companies wouldn't quote, and finishing fast. The kind of work people hire him for skews toward big, structural backyard projects rather than routine mowing. In a 2023 review, one homeowner described him building a full backyard project — digging the hole and installing an in-ground pool along with the plumbing, electrical, patio pavers, stonework and pool sails. In a separate 2023 review, another customer's yard went from chaos — briars, flooding, and tree stumps grown around old rebar — to graded, fenced and lush within a few seasons. A third 2023 review described regrading, loaming and seeding a half-acre lot outright. Multiple 2023 and 2025 reviews describe retaining wall rebuilds, a walkway with granite steps and railings, and paver patios ranging from a single front walkway to a 480-square-foot patio with a fence surround and low-voltage lighting. In a 2025 review, one customer described getting quotes "through the roof" from companies unwilling to take on a large patio job, then having Matt clear the old patio and rebuild it, plus reroute a sprinkler system, in four working days. The most recent review, from July 2026, describes a front-steps-and-deck remodel with two in-person design meetings before the build began. A couple of reviews also mention Matt handling snow plowing and a fire pit build as smaller, ongoing jobs, so the relationship with repeat customers isn't limited to one big project. Worth knowing before calling: one 2025 reviewer mentioned reaching out in January to be first on the spring schedule, with work starting as soon as the snow melted — for a larger hardscape job, booking ahead of the season looks like it matters. If you're weighing a bigger backyard rebuild — a patio, a retaining wall, a full regrade — the written record leans toward exactly that kind of project, with Matt personally involved from the first design conversation through the final walkthrough.

We had a great experience working with Bean Landscaping on our front steps and deck remodel. From our first conversation, Matt was knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. He met with us twice to talk through ideas, offered thoughtful design recommendations, and helped us choose products that fit both our vision and budget. The finished project exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were excellent, and the quality of the work really shows. Throughout the project, Matt was always available to answer questions and welcomed our feedback. Any concerns we raised were addressed right away, which gave us a lot of confidence in the process. We're extremely happy with the final result and would absolutely work with Matt and the Bean Landscaping team again. If you're looking for a company that delivers quality work and stands behind what they do, we highly recommend Bean Landscaping.
Bean Landscaping did absolutely incredible work on our retaining wall, the before and after pictures speak for themselves. From the start Matt was great to work with and helped us understand what would be necessary to get the job done right, all while staying within a reasonable budget. Matt’s team was very hard working and respectful. We were impressed and very appreciative of their diligence in making sure this wall was rebuilt with care. A major facelift to our property and we are happy we went with Bean Landscaping for the job. Highly recommended!
We’re extremely satisfied with our choice to work with Bean Landscaping on our backyard. Prior to the job, communication was thorough and Matt worked with us on the design we had in mind for the layout. For the installation, Matt and his team did a great job installing about 480 sq ft of paver patio, a fence surround, and low voltage lighting — all while keeping true to a design we reviewed beforehand. The crew worked through some pretty hot days and were always responsive if we had questions about the installation or the next steps. I always felt they were honest and genuinely wanted us to be satisfied with the work. As the job wrapped, they seeded any areas of lawn where the trucks came through and also re-routed some sprinkler lines. I recommend Matt and his team for your project, and we certainly reach out to him for any other future projects!
Matt and his crew did a fantastic job on our new patio! They were professional, efficient and answered any questions we had. I highly reccomend Bean Landscaping for any project you are considering!
Changed my yard from a muddy mess to green lush grass within a week. They installed brand new sod and two patios for the front and back of my house. Can’t recommend these guys enough.
