Dejoy Landscape Construction

DeJoy Landscape Construction works out of Swampscott, describing itself as a full landscape construction company — masonry, patios, retaining walls, water features, and plantings — handling everything from small jobs to elaborate design-build projects. Its Better Business Bureau profile lists CEO Thomas Dejoy and 27 years in business, dating back to 1999. Project listings from the Ulrich Landscape Collaborative, an architecture-driven design team, repeatedly name DeJoy as the landscape contractor on several single-family residential jobs and at least one commercial project, handling landscape design, permitting, and project management alongside the build. Homeowner reviews point the same direction on the finished work: patios described as "beautifully done," a crew called hardworking, and staff praised as professional and friendly in reviews from earlier this year. One account stands apart from that pattern. A 2024 review said the company hit a parked car and then didn't return calls or pick up the phone afterward — a real lapse in responsiveness worth asking about directly, separate from the quality of the finished landscape work itself. For patio and hardscape work with some design-build sophistication, the finished-project reviews and the architect-collaborative credits both point favorably; just confirm how the company handles it if something goes wrong on-site.
