Joyce Landscaping, Inc.

Joyce Landscaping is a Cape Cod full-service landscape design, build, and maintenance company founded by Chris Joyce, who started mowing lawns in high school before formalizing the business after studying at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at UMass. It handles everything from lawn care and irrigation to hardscaping, masonry, and site development, and lists a long roster of industry certifications and association memberships, though those are all self-reported rather than independently verified here. The written record is thin but substantive where it exists. In a 2025 review, a customer described a 20-year-old bluestone patio and stone stairway reset, releveled, and repaired until it looked better than new. In 2024 reviews, customers described a chimney replacement called professional and neat, and a backyard project finished on a tight deadline ahead of a hosted event, with the whole crew working hard to make it happen. In a 2021 review, a technician sent to blow out a sprinkler system found an unrelated pipe leak in the basement and taped it over rather than leaving it. The exception is a recent review, unrelated to any specific landscaping job, describing a company vehicle driving aggressively on a highway. It's also worth noting that the company's own website gives conflicting answers about how long it's been in business — 'over two decades' on one page, 'over a decade' on another. With a 4.3-star Google page from 35 ratings and a small but positive set of detailed project reviews, this looks like a capable, well-connected local landscaping company, though the review volume is thin enough that it's worth asking for recent references directly.
