Dragonfly Ponds & Patios, based in Sterling and serving MetroWest and Central Massachusetts, has a Houzz history that runs deep — 4.8 stars over 33 ratings and 18 projects shown, with typical job costs ranging from $10,000 up to as much as $1 million, and three Houzz Awards. Owner Tim leads work spanning patios, walkways, ponds, waterfalls, outdoor kitchens, masonry and landscape lighting. Written reviews from 2015 and 2016 describe detailed, design-driven projects: 3D layouts presented before work began, a patio rebuilt around a pool, a stone walkway, and one outdoor living space combining walkways, a patio, a waterfall and a lawn area. Reviewers from that period consistently credit Tim with responsive communication, a hard-working crew and finished results that matched what was designed. In a 2018 review, a customer described being unable to reach the company about a significant water loss discovered years after Dragonfly had rebuilt their pond and waterfall — Dragonfly publicly disputed the customer's timeline in response. Most recently, in an April 2026 review, another contracting company that worked alongside Dragonfly on a job site praised its organization and responsiveness. The written reviews run mostly through 2015-2018 with one recent account, so it's worth asking for more current references on a project of this scope before signing on — but the pattern across those years points to careful, design-first work.

Was hired to rebuild our pond and waterfall several years ago. Has not responded to repeated emails/phone messages regarding a significant water loss in pond observed this year to check out. I assumed he would have honored his work by responding back to us or at least stopping by to isolate the source of the water loss.
We could not be happier with our new patio area by Dragonlfy Ponds and Patios! Since we didn't know exactly what we wanted, Tim designed and presented us with some layout options that would work well with our backyard. He helped us make the best choices possible for a relaxing country setting. The crew was fantastic. They were neat, efficient, professional and courteous at all times. The quality of work is superior. I would highly recommend this company!
Dragonfly Ponds and Patios was the BEST!. Tim was amazing to work with. I told him what my budget was and he helped me figure out a plan that worked for us. The crew that works for Dragonfly are very professional and complete work on schedule. My backyard look amazing! I would refer them to my friends and family any day of the week!
We recently hired Dragonfly Ponds & Patios LLC to install a walkway and patio in our front yard. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome of the project. Tim was quick to respond to our email requesting an estimate and provided a beautiful 3-D design and estimate in a timely manner. The work was started and completed in the timeframe discussed after we accepted the proposal. His team was polite and professional and left the work area clean. We have received many compliments on the work from our neighbors as this project greatly improved our overall curb appeal. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for hardscaping/landscaping services.
