Land Solutions & Hardscapes works out of Wilmington and, by its own description, covers landscape design, hardscaping, excavation and site work — but what the reviews actually describe, again and again, is Darryl personally catching problems other contractors missed. In a 2024 review, a homeowner recounts him being the only contractor who checked whether a previous crew had properly backfilled a sewer trench before a paver driveway went over it — they hadn't, and he redid it rather than build on top of a problem. Forty-seven reviews run from 2021 through this year across three sources, nearly all five stars, and the jobs match the company's stated range: patios, retaining walls, granite steps, drainage tie-ins, yard grading, stump and boulder removal. In a 2023 review, a homeowner describes calling Land Solutions after a basement flooded from poor lawn grading and a siding defect — other companies said they couldn't fit the job in — and the crew tied four downspouts and a sump pump into new underground drywells to route water away from the foundation. In another 2023 review, mid-excavation for a garage-stairs project, the crew found an old concrete foundation underground and flagged it before continuing. Several reviewers across different years describe the same pattern: a detailed estimate, changes accommodated mid-project, and a border or detail redone on the spot when it didn't look right. In a May 2024 review, one customer describes a scheduled Saturday appointment where Darryl neither showed up nor called by the agreed time, apologized hours later citing another job, proposed a new date, and then never followed up — a communication lapse worth asking about directly, since it runs against how consistently everyone else describes him as responsive. They're a fit for a hardscape or drainage job where getting the grading and water management right matters as much as how the patio looks, with Wilmington as home base and a self-reported service area running north and west through Reading, Andover, Burlington and Lexington.

Darryl, Jose, and the Land Solutions crew were awesome! They were professional and explained everything right from the start. They always arrived daily when they say they were going to be on site and always made sure the site was cleaned up at the end of their day. We are extremely pleased with how our retaining wall and stairs were built and feel it adds to the value of our Reading home! Thanks Darryl and Land Solutions!
Daryl and his team did great work replacing an old patio and side entry deck and installing new landscaping. Communication was always clear and transparent. Pricing was fair and in line with my expectations. Got the project done on a late season timeline. We had a great experience and highly recommend Land Solutions!
Darryl and his crew did an unbelievable job on our driveway extension in pavers. Darryl knows what he’s doing and truly cares about his work. We has previous excavation work in that area by another contractor to tie in the sewer to our new ADU on the property. Darryl was the only one out to ask if they backfilled the trench in layers and impacted it in, which they didn’t. Darryl explain that, that area would end up caving in from the dirt settling over time, and he wasn’t comfortable doing the job unless he re did it all the right way. Most other hardscape contractors wouldn’t of done that. Out of all the other contractors that have work on our ADU, he has been the best one. He treats your property as if it was his own! We will be using him again to do all the finish landscape.
Daryl and his crew done a wonderful job on our patio and walkway and driveway. They were always available to talk to and his workers always done a great job cleaning up after. Would highly recommend this company if you need work done. Sharon and. Eddie Nutile
