Patios, walkways and retaining walls are prominent among the jobs Collins Landscaping customers describe. An August 2026 Google reviewer described a raised patio with brick walls, drainage slope, underground gutter piping and porous grouting. The customer said Shawn inspected the work daily, the project finished on time and the work came with a warranty. Another August reviewer thanked the team for a new front walkway. The company describes itself as a family-run Mansfield landscaping and hardscape construction business founded in 2009. It says it serves Norfolk and Bristol County towns, including Mansfield, Foxborough, Attleboro, Walpole and Franklin, and offers landscape design and construction, masonry, excavation and commercial snow and ice removal. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, 211519, is active under Collins Landscaping Services LLC. Google lists 4.9 stars from 64 ratings; BBB gives it an A grade. Several older customer accounts describe how larger yard projects were handled. In September 2025, a homeowner described pavers, a walkway, steps, a retaining wall and fire pit, along with backyard regrading, brush removal and arborvitae planting. The customer said Chris gave notice before the team arrived and Collins coordinated directly with other contractors on the property. In October 2025, another homeowner said the team accommodated short notice so pool construction could continue, leveled the backyard, seeded grass and built a retaining wall as part of the pool landscaping. Repair work features too. A September 2024 reviewer said pavers in a walkway and steps installed three years earlier had begun to sink; after contacting Shawn, an employee redid that area within a week. In May 2024, a patio-restoration customer described power washing, new polymeric sand and sealer, and said Shawn kept them informed about rain delays. A July 2025 customer praised repairs to a walkway installed about twenty years earlier. One September 2024 Google reviewer gave the company one star and wrote “Horrible.” In December 2025, a different customer described Chris returning a call within a day, a quote within a week, an opportunity to view pavers in person and work that started within a week of choosing the pavers and finished within a week.
Shawn Collins, of Collins Landscaping, LLC, is the best hardscape (stone) contractor you will ever find. He quoted a price that was precise and fair. The work proceeded on schedule and competed on time. His workers were friendly, interactive and knew their stuff. Shawn was there every day once or twice to inspect and instruct. He made suggestions that we never thought of, and used the most advanced technologies, including a slight slope for drainage, below grade piping for gutters, porous grouting, and a mesh extending from into the gravel and interleaved between the brick walls of a 4 feet high patio, so that the walls would not cave outward from the pressure of the gravel fill-in – something that many contractors do not use – and all of this with a warranty. He offered at a minimal price lighting at the entrance of the steps and along the walkway. He also recommended the contractor who welded and powederd coated the rains and gate - the very best in the business. The final project was more elegant than we imagined, and we have had many visitors who expressed awe at the appearance.
Collins landscaping did an awesome job Olin our backyard and are very reliable, prompt and courteous. I highly recommend them
Thank you for new front walkway. We are pleased with the great work done.
Very responsive and good communication. Job completed when asked it to be done.
I reached out to Collins Landscaping after they did some work at a neighbor’s house. Chris called me back within a day and we scheduled a time to meet at my house. Chris was very friendly and listened as we discussed the project scope. Within a week we had a quote and were able to go view different paver options in person. After the paver was selected, the started the work within a week and finished within a week. The communication and service was top notch. I highly recommend Shawn and Chris. The pavers look fantastic and the workmanship is great!
