Fitzgerald Landscape and Hardscape, LLC

Fitzgerald Landscape & Hardscape is a Boston-area outfit whose Google page carries 44 ratings and a perfect 5 stars — and reading through the 31 written reviews on file, the praise isn't generic. The name people actually use for them, again and again, is "Teddy and his crew," and the same handful of things keep coming up: patios and stonework, reliable snow removal, and lawn care that shows up when it's supposed to. The company says it started as a small local operation and grew into its current team, and it covers a cluster of towns southwest of Boston — Dedham, Westwood, Newton, Brookline, Needham, Wellesley and a dozen others. Hardscape work is where the specifics run deepest. Reviewers describe Teddy building a patio extension with a fire pit that ties into an existing patio, updating an outdated backyard patio and stairs with design input the homeowner "would not have thought of," and replacing old, loose stonework on a back patio with the exact stone the customer wanted. One 2025 review from a homeowner who used to run a landscaping company himself called the work "phenomenal." Snow removal is the other recurring thread, especially across the winters of 2025 and 2026: reviewers describe Teddy answering calls and texts "in no time" during storms, getting crews out the same day after a blizzard, and clearing driveways and walkways quickly. Several reviewers who came back for a second or third season specifically credit fast response during bad weather. Price comes up unprompted more than once — six separate reviews across nearly two years independently describe the company as "reasonably priced," "fairly priced," or offering "incredibly fair" prices, a more consistent pattern than a single happy customer's opinion. There isn't a documented downside in the written record: every review on file, from a 2024 job through an August 2026 patio build, is five stars, and the most recent months carry no negative reports. One naming note worth flagging — several reviewers refer to the company as "Fitzgerald Brothers Lawn and Landscaping," while its current site brands it Fitzgerald Landscape & Hardscape, so it may be worth confirming which name is on any paperwork before signing. For a patio, retaining wall, or stonework project, or for dependable lawn care and snow removal in the Dedham/Newton area, the record here is about as clean as it gets — the main thing to nail down going in is scope and timeline, since the reviews describe everything from small planting jobs finished the same day to multi-day patio rebuilds.
