Benco Landscaping Inc

Benco Landscaping is a small Gloucester hardscape outfit — one employee, by the Better Business Bureau's count — and the BBB file is the most concrete thing on record: an A+ grade, a business start date of February 2011, and Robb Benjamin listed as manager. The work the company itself puts forward is stone and structure rather than mowing: its Houzz profile names patio construction and retaining wall construction, with Gloucester as the area it covers. That page carries no reviews yet, so there is no customer account of how a Benco patio actually turned out. Before booking, ask for addresses of patios or walls they have built around Cape Ann and go look at them — settled hardscape either holds its line after a few winters or it doesn't. Get the scope, drainage and base preparation in writing, and confirm insurance certificates directly. For a straightforward patio or retaining wall in Gloucester, this is a fifteen-year-old local business with a clean BBB grade; for anything larger, the references you collect yourself will have to do the work the written record can't.
