MAC Excavation & Landscape

A hot tub needed a level pad on ground that fell away two feet, and the build landed in the first heatwave of the summer. Mark's crew put down a nine-by-nine paver platform with a retaining wall to hold it, and the owner writing in May 2026 recommended him especially for a job with a challenge in it. MAC Excavation & Landscape works out of Hanson across the South Shore — Plymouth, Kingston, Marshfield, Scituate, Pembroke, Hanover, Duxbury, Abington, Rockland, Whitman, Halifax, Plympton, Carver and East Bridgewater — doing site work, grading, drainage, septic installation and repair, retaining walls, paver patios and lawn installation. Stone is what customers keep describing. A fieldstone retaining wall finished in May 2026 got its owner wishing for a ten-star box to tick. In April 2026 a twenty-year-old walkway was diagnosed, brought back to its original level and left looking new rather than ripped out; another homeowner had a front walk laid in natural stone that same month. A customer in May 2025 had a stone patio put in out back and signed off recommending Mark to anyone looking for a mason. Scheduling comes up nearly as often as the work. A customer in May 2025 got a quote appointment quickly and had the job done a week later. Another in July 2026 said Mark was straightforward about process and price from the first meeting and left the space immaculate at the end of each day. The crew also handled driveway grooming in early 2025, and holiday lighting for a customer that January. Two things to settle before booking. The company's Angi profile says it gives free estimates but lists no warranties and no emergency service, so ask what happens if a wall settles or a patio shifts a year out. And the written history is short and new — sixteen Google ratings, with five of the seven Angi reviews being those same Google reviews reposted. For a patio, a retaining wall, a walkway that needs rescuing rather than replacing, or the grading and drainage that has to come first, this is a South Shore crew whose customers describe plain pricing and a clean site. Get the build detail into the estimate — base depth, drainage behind the wall, edge restraint — and ask Mark directly what he stands behind once the crew has gone.
