JRD Landscape Design

JRD Landscape Design is a design-build landscaping firm serving the South Shore of Massachusetts, working in Weymouth, Hingham, Norwell, Scituate, Hanover, Marshfield, Duxbury, Cohasset, Milton and nearby towns. The company's own site describes hardscaping, patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens and firepits alongside general landscape design, and it offers a free initial design consultation. Across 26 Google reviews going back to 2022, the same name comes up again and again: Jose, described by reviewers as hands-on and responsive, from small tree jobs to large backyard rebuilds. The most detailed reviews describe substantial hardscape work — in a 2025 review, a 200-foot retaining wall finished after a pool install, and a separate retaining-wall installation called an amazing job — alongside an August 2026 review describing a full mulch turn-over, garden-bed cleanup, and patio pressure-washing with new sand at a reasonable price. Tree work shows up just as often. Reviewers across several years describe stump grinding, large fallen-tree removal, and clearing multiple big trees from a commercial property's narrow, elevated alley, crediting the crew with showing up promptly and cleaning up thoroughly afterward. Two reviews are far less positive and worth knowing about. In a July 2023 review, a customer said the crew trashed their yard and fence during a job and was never given the chance to make it right. In a January 2022 review, a prospective customer described a scheduled quote visit that was cancelled at the last minute after a slow initial response. Neither has a recent echo — the two most recent reviews, from May and August 2026, are both five stars with no complaints — but they're worth raising before booking a larger project. For a South Shore homeowner planning hardscaping, a retaining wall, a patio rebuild, or tree removal, JRD's multi-year track record and Jose's consistent direct involvement make it a strong call — just confirm scheduling and damage-liability expectations up front given the two negative reviews on file.
