D&M Landscaping and Construction

Bluestone keeps coming up. A homeowner in April 2026 describes a new bluestone patio finished faster than expected, with the plantings around it chosen to match their taste. In a 2023 review another customer described D&M's crew pulling up steps and pavers wrecked by 20-plus New England winters and rebuilding the whole thing. D&M Landscaping and Construction works out of Wellesley and says it is family-owned and has been at this since 1989, 37 years by its own count. What people hire them for is the hard surfaces in a backyard: patios, retaining and sitting walls, steps, walkways, fire pits, and the plantings that finish them. Twenty written reviews run from 2021 to 2026, and Google shows 4.6 from 33 ratings. Marty, the owner, is named again and again — a March 2026 customer credits him with the vision for the space, steady updates through the build, a transparent price, and quick numbers when they added to the job. Delmar is named the same way by customers in 2023 and 2022. One 2024 customer wrote that the work was finished when promised at the end of fall, held up through the winter, and the crew came back in the spring to check on it. A realtor writing in November 2025 said D&M is the only landscaper she recommends to clients, and a 2024 reviewer who has used them for many jobs said each was completed as ordered. Two things are worth settling before calling. The stated service area is wide: Framingham, Wellesley, Dover, Hopkinton, Newton, Holliston, Sherborn, Weston and Southborough, plus Harwich out on the Cape — confirm your town is actually on the route. And the work ranges from landscape maintenance to what one 2023 customer called the general contractor on a whole outdoor build, so agree in writing where the scope ends and how mid-project additions get priced. A strong call for a patio, wall or walkway in stone, especially when an older surface has to come out first. Ask who will run your project day to day, and how the schedule falls against the season.
