Essex County Outdoors — registered as Essex County Landscape Associates, LLC — is a Gloucester design/build outfit that JD and his crews have run long enough that several reviewers describe relationships spanning a decade or more: one client has used them for 10 years across patios, stonework and maintenance, another for over 20, starting with an irrigation system and landscaping and moving through retaining walls, sod and driveway pavers as the property's needs changed, in a 2022 review. The written record, 2021 through mid-2026, centers on hardscape and full-property transformations: a driveway rebuilt with a cobblestone landing, pavers and a new apron, in a 2026 review; a teardown-and-rebuild of a stairway and walkway alongside a full lawn rehab — irrigation, new beds, sod — that one reviewer called an eyesore turned amazing, in a 2025 review; pool-installation prep and paver patio work plus an entranceway redone in cobblestone and pavers, in a 2026 review. That paver and masonry work is backed by ICPI and National Concrete Masonry Association SRW installer certifications on its Houzz profile. Reviewers repeatedly mention the crews staying on schedule and keeping homeowners in the loop, even through a rain delay in one case. That same 2026 review is the only blemish on the record — a billing discrepancy the reviewer says was worked out without further issue. For a property that needs real hardscape work — walkways, retaining walls, a driveway rebuild — alongside ongoing landscape maintenance, Essex County Outdoors' long-running client relationships back it up.
Essex county outdoors fit us in their right schedule. Despite a rain delay, James remained in contact to be sure we were in the loop. There was a billing discrepancy but after some back and forth it was settled. No issues at all. Would reccomend and use again in the future.
Essex County Outdoors rebuilt our driveway adding cobblestone landing in front of the house, added pavers alongside the driveway and an apron at the beginning. Great job all around.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Work by Essex County Landscape Associates As a homeowner, I have had the pleasure of working with Essex County Landscape Associates on multiple projects, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their work included preparation for our pool installation, installation of pool pavers to create a beautiful patio, and all associated landscaping. In addition, they installed cobblestones and pavers for the main entranceway to both our home and the pool area, which completely transformed the look and feel of the property. From start to finish, the team was professional, detail‑oriented, and clearly took pride in their craftsmanship. The quality of the stonework and pavers is exceptional, and the overall design ties everything together seamlessly. The finished result is not only functional but truly enhances the beauty and value of our home. If you are looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional landscaping company, Essex County Landscape Associates is an excellent choice. We are extremely happy with the results and would gladly work with them again.
JD and his crews created an amazing transformation of our yards and hardscape. Beautiful teardown and rebuild of a stairway and walkway, the workmanship is fantastic. Total rehab of an eyesore of a lawn - installed irrigation, new planting beds and sod, the change is amazing. Plus, new pet grass in the side yard for the mutts! Excellent communication throughout the project, great patience with us as we kept changing/adding...the crews were there every day, we never had to worry about timing or delays. Very highly recommended, we'll be in touch again for our next project!
Essex County Outdoors is a top-notch service company for your outdoor needs. We recently hired ESO to clean up our driveway and backyard. Their clean up was detailed and thorough. Their employees are professional and easy to work with. I was extremely impressed with their work and work ethic. I would strongly recommend them for your next outdoor project.
