Fougere Landscaping Inc

Fougere Landscaping runs out of Chelmsford, and one name shows up again and again in its reviews: Luke, credited personally for patios, retaining walls, drainage fixes and full backyard rebuilds across Middlesex County. The company's own site says it has more than 20 years of experience, working design through installation with "hard" materials like stone, granite, brick and concrete, and it lists two hardscape-specific credentials — Unilock Authorized Contractor and Certified NDS Professional Drainage Contractor. The review history backs that up: 23 reviews across Google, BBB and Houzz between 2022 and 2026, every one five stars, with Google alone showing 27 ratings overall. The BBB has accredited the company since 2015 and grades it A+. What repeats isn't just satisfaction but scope — customers describe multi-week projects: a granite staircase and rebuilt walkway after a previous contractor left a hole where the back steps used to be, a koi pond and pergola sitting area, an outdoor kitchen with a surround-sound system built into a backyard party space, a hillside of wildflowers planted where the yard used to be unmowable. Several customers came back a second or third time for new projects, and one reviewer who hires subcontractors professionally as a landscape designer singled out the crew's attention to schedule and detail. Recent activity is lighter than the historical pace — two reviews in the last six months, both positive — but the run underneath them stretches back to 2022 with no negative reviews or government actions turning up anywhere in the record. Worth asking about before booking: the company's own site names Chelmsford as its stated service area, while its Houzz profile lists a wider set of nearby towns. Confirm they cover your specific address, especially for snow plowing, which the site describes as limited to Chelmsford. The two license numbers on the site — a Hoisting and Hydraulics Engineer License and an Excavating Engineer License — are the company's own claims and haven't been checked against a state registry. For a big hardscape project — a patio, retaining wall, drainage fix or full backyard redesign — Fougere Landscaping has a long, consistently five-star record built on repeat customers and word-of-mouth referrals. Confirm your town is in their working radius and get a written estimate before signing on.
