Verified record
Boylan Brothers is a family-owned landscaping and construction company serving Dover, Sherborn, and Medfield with about 18 years in business, offering everything from routine lawn care and seasonal cleanups to hardscaping — patios, stone walls, masonry — and snow removal, excavation, and grading. The record spans 2018 through 2026 with consistent, specific praise. Long-term clients describe multi-year relationships: one customer with a large horse farm has used Boylan Brothers for three years of landscaping, plowing, and roadway regrading after winter wear, and another has had them handle year-round mowing, leaf removal, and snow removal, plus a custom patio and grill area installed a few years back. Owner Dan is named directly in several reviews for personally recommending the right plant mix for a difficult garden bed and installing a drip line to keep new plantings alive, and for being reachable and knowledgeable when a customer moved into the area and needed landscaping help. The one blemish is an older complaint: in a 2018 review, a customer recommended getting a written estimate rather than a verbal one, since the verbal quote they received carried caveats that could be changed later. It's the only note of caution across two dozen otherwise positive reviews spanning nearly a decade. One piece of evidence in the record — a Better Business Bureau listing for "Boylan Bros Window Cleaning" in Cathedral City, California — appears to be an unrelated business that shares a similar name; it's a window-cleaning company in another state entirely and has no bearing on this Dover, Massachusetts landscaping company. For a homeowner in the Dover/Sherborn/Medfield area looking for a landscaper who can also handle hardscaping and year-round property maintenance, Boylan Brothers has a long, consistently positive track record — just get any quote in writing given the one older account of a verbal estimate changing.

I called Boylan Brothers to refresh a problematic garden bed on the side of our house. Dan recommended the right mix of tree and shrubs, his crew planted them expertly, and also installed a drip hose that keeps the new tree and shrubs watered which has allowed them to survive and thrive during the hot summer months. And when we had an issue with the hose shortly after installation Dan was quick to respond and fix the problem. Great service, great communication and a great result!
Reached out to Dan upon our move to Dover, and received a quick response and have been beyond impressed with the communication and quality of work!
Boylan Bros have been landscaping, plowing, cleanup Spring and Fall and roadway regrading after the Winter wear and tear for 3 years. They are great to work with, respectful of property as I have a large horse farm. I’ve had several landscapers over the years and they are THE best.
Highly recommend Boylan Brothers! They take care of our property year round with weekly mowing in the warm months, leaf removal in the fall and snow removal in the winter. Boylan put in a beautiful back patio with custom grill area for us a few years ago and did an outstanding job. Their services are customized to their customers' needs and the prices are honest and fair. Don't hesitate to hire them!
