Lamacchia Landscape Construction

Lamacchia Landscape Construction is a Newton hardscaping and landscape company holding an active, state-verified Massachusetts home improvement contractor license. Joey Lamacchia and his father Joe Sr. run the crews that show up across dozens of reviews — alongside project manager Rob, mason Hector, and landscape designer Andy — on jobs ranging from patios and retaining walls to driveway paving and routine lawn maintenance. The bulk of the record describes substantial hardscaping projects: bluestone patio re-laying, French drains and stone walls, a basketball court and retaining wall, a 750-square-foot walkway and patio built in two weeks over a crumbling 100-foot retaining wall. Recent reviews describe the same pattern — Joey personally scoping jobs, comparing estimates, and following through on Unilock paver installs that match earlier work on the same property. Several clients describe returning for a second or third project, including weekly landscape maintenance clients who've stuck with the company for two or more years. Not every account is glowing. A 2022 review described an asphalt driveway job with subcontractor damage and sloppy installation; the reviewer raised their rating to 5★ after Joey promised to fix it, but wrote that a year and a half later the driveway was still showing problems and beginning to crack and sink. A separate 2022 review described giving up after two consecutive no-shows, and a January 2026 review described a stalled process after an initial site visit — calls and emails going unanswered following a promised quote. These sit alongside a far larger number of reviews describing prompt communication and follow-through, so they read as inconsistency rather than a pattern that dominates the record. Before calling: this is a hardscaping-heavy operation — driveways, patios, retaining walls, masonry — as much as a lawn-care company, so match the scope of the project to what the crew is known for.
