C Pereira works out of Holbrook, doing hardscape and excavation jobs — retaining walls, paver patios, walkways and driveways — for South Shore homeowners. Across HomeAdvisor, Angi and Thumbtack, reviewers keep naming William (also called Will or Willy) as the one running the crew, and the same jobs come up again and again: a backyard walkway paired with a retaining wall around a flower bed, a paver patio built around an outdoor hot tub, new stairs and steps. One homeowner hired him repeatedly — for a retaining wall, a patio, a driveway and lawn work — and said neighbors started calling him after seeing the results. Not every account is as smooth. A 2026 review describes the crew leaving a job unfinished after being paid, with the owner telling the customer to finish the last step herself; a 2024 review on Thumbtack said a different homeowner never heard back once they asked for a price. Both are worth asking about directly. For a hardscape job — walls, patios, pavers — this is a crew with a real, specific track record; just get the scope and price nailed down in writing before work starts.
Will and his team were amazing! He made sure everything was done according to my liking and plans! He is a perfectionist and will make sure the job is done correctly. I have hired him numerous times to work on different projects. My retaining wall, my patio, my driveway, my lawn and other areas. Even the neighbors in my area loved his work and started hiring him for his expertise. You’ll absolutely love everything that Will works on. Great prices, professional quality and expert service!
We are thrilled with the work this company did for us. They helped to design and build our patio while offering guidance and suggestions along the way. They listened to our concerns and were willing to work with us to pivot when needed during the project. I can’t recommend them enough!
Looks Fantastic! My experience with William and his two man crew was pleasant from beginning to end. They installed a walkway from the backyard to the driveway and a retaining wall around the flower bed at the front of the house; matching the existing pattern in the backyard. William was very personable and professional. He understood the design I wanted and even made a couple of suggestions that fit the design and my budget (which was spot on). The crew showed up early every morning and worked diligently throughout the day, ensuring the area was cleaned before they left each day. They started Monday and were done Friday afternoon. It was a pretty smooth process and William made sure I was happy during the build. Me, my family and neighbors (who were very complimentary as they saw it being built) think it looks fantastic! I would definitely hire William and crew again and highly recommend him.
C. Pereira provides excellent service with a creative approach. Very polite responsive to any questions or concerns during our project. Very knowledgeable and professional. Went over and beyond my expectations. He even called after our project was completed to make sure we were satisfied with his service. I would highly recommend C. Pereira for your next project!
William and his team did a phenomenal job on my stairs and steps. He listened to what I envisioned, provided guidance, stayed within my budget and kept me updated on the schedule. The finished product exceeded my expectations! See before and after pic…
