A patio with custom detailing is one example of Fernald Landscaping and construction's work: a 2026 customer said Dan listened to their ideas, offered design suggestions and, with his team, built an outdoor space they were thrilled with. The company's website lists deck construction, patios, retaining walls, walkways, planting, excavation, new lawns, and snow and ice management. It names a service area including Chelmsford, Tyngsborough, Nashua and Hollis. A 2026 customer said Dan Fernald created a retaining wall with a tiered garden where grass had struggled to grow. The same 2026 customer described a raised garden with six arborvitae and two maple trees along the property line for privacy around an above-ground pool. A 2026 customer said Dan Fernald and his crew cleared areas as requested, arrived on time and worked a full day at the quoted price. A 2024 customer said Dan regraded and leveled the yard, installed a new lawn and created a drainage bed for rain gutters piped into the ground. A 2024 customer described hiring Dan for new stairs, a retaining wall and, most recently, a Trex pool deck, and said he set expectations about the work and timing. A 2026 customer said they were happy with a new walkway and described the team as efficient from start to finish.
We recently worked with Dan to build our patio and we are thrilled with the results. During our first meeting to discuss the project, Dan listened to our ideas and provided additional design suggestions that fit perfectly into how we envisioned the space. He and his team worked incredibly hard throughout the hot summer weather, added unique custom detailing to the project, and delivered a beautiful outdoor space for our family. In addition, Dan is honest, easy to work with, and extremely talented. We highly recommend working with Dan and wish him all the best with his future projects!
Fernald landscaping is definitely one of those companies well worth using for repeat business. We had always had problems in our front yard with grass wanting to grow, and reached out to (Dan) Fernald for ideas. He felt that a retaining wall with tiered garden would help to level off the area and provide something more interesting than dead grass. We let him have at it and were so thrilled with the result! Next, we had a general idea for a garden next to a new walkway we had installed. He took our ideas and really made our vision come alive. Our most recent project was to provide something additional privacy for our above ground pool. We have an unusual layout to our yard, but we knew that if anyone could figure out a solution, Dan Fernald could. What resulted was a beautiful raised garden containing 6 arborvitae, and an additional 2 maple trees along our property line. The grass is just starting to come in, but this is yet another amazing project of his. For each project, Fernald was very communicative about dates, prompt on being able to provide estimates, and provided what we feel is fair pricing for the work. And in the end he’s been successful 3 times for us. It’s hard to find enough positive adjectives to use for him, his crew and the work he has done for us.
Dan is reliable and hardworking- anything you need will be done thoroughly! We have always had a professional and positive experience with him and his crew. Would absolutely recommend!
Dan Fernald and his crew meticulously cleared areas exactly as we asked. They arrived on time, well prepared, and worked a full day at the price quoted. I'd highly recommend his company.
We are so happy with our new walkway! The team was so professional and efficient from start to finish. It really elevates our whole yard. Highly recommend!
