Cosco Landscape Co is a family- and veteran-owned crew working out of Watertown, handling everything from patio and driveway builds to routine landscape upkeep across towns like Newton, Cambridge, Lexington, and Brookline. The company says it's been doing this since the early 1990s, still run by owner Domenick Cosco out of the same Cottage Street address. Recent hardscape work is what stands out. A homeowner in a flood zone had Cosco lay AquaBricks pavers as part of a driveway redesign last fall and called the result professional and reasonably priced; another described a patio finished on schedule with real attention to detail. The thing worth knowing before calling: a review from this past June describes a rougher encounter. While a crew worked next door, two employees are said to have walked into the reviewer's own yard, mowed the lawn, and pulled up planted perennials and wildflower seedlings — caught on a home security camera — and the reviewer says a manager promised to look into it but never followed up or offered reimbursement. It's the only review posted in the last six months, so it isn't offset by any other recent praise. Older word-of-mouth is similarly split. The Better Business Bureau lists an A+ grade (the business isn't accredited) and 36 years in operation, while at least one independent review describes the owner as dismissive during an estimate visit, and Houzz shows no reviews at all despite listing the company since 1992. Founding dates even differ by source — 1993 on the company's own site, 1992 on Houzz, 1990 per BBB — so the "30-plus years" framing is closer to a rough estimate than a fixed fact. For hardscape work — patios and driveways — the recent jobs read well. Given the June complaint, it's worth asking directly how crews handle boundaries on multi-property jobs and getting the scope of work in writing before anyone sets foot on either yard.

I would not recommend this company for landscape maintenance if you have anything beyond a basic lawn and shrubs. While working on my neighbor’s yard, two employees entered my backyard without my permission, mowed my grass, and pulled out several ~2-foot-tall plants and wildflower seedlings from my mulched garden beds. These were intentionally planted and maintained, not weeds. The whole thing was captured on my backyard security camera. I contacted the company and the manager said he would look into it and get back to me, but I never received a follow-up or reimbursement for the replacement plants. It is disappointing that a landscaping company could not distinguish intentional plantings from weeds, and even more disappointing that they did not take responsibility afterward.

I'm very impressed with the work Cosco Landscape did on our property. From start to finish, the team was professional and timely. They understood our unique situation living in a flood zone and installed AquaBricks as part of the design—a thoughtful solution that shows they really care about their work. The AquaBricks were laid in a beautiful, artistic, and eye-catching pattern that really enhances the overall aesthetic of our property. The driveway was properly leveled, and the overall design is unique and looks fantastic. What impressed me most was that all of this quality work came at a reasonable cost. We got real value for our investment. This work was completed in 2022, and I can confidently say it has held up perfectly through several New England winters. The durability has been exceptional. Since we share the driveway with neighbors, I'm happy to report that they are all thoroughly satisfied with the results as well. It's been a real asset to our whole property. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled landscaping company, I highly recommend Cosco Landscape. They delivered exactly what we needed and more.

Cosco Landscaping did an absolutely amazing job on my patio. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. They listened to my ideas, offered great suggestions, and brought the vision to life even better than I imagined. The workmanship is top-notch—the patio looks incredible and the quality is obvious. The crew was on time every day, kept the work area clean, and finished right on schedule. It’s rare to find a company that combines skill, efficiency, and customer care at this level. I couldn’t be happier with the final result, and I’ve already had multiple neighbors ask who did the work. I highly recommend Cosco Landscaping to anyone looking for expert landscaping and hardscaping services. I’ll definitely be using them again for future projects!
