Macauley Brothers Inc

Macauley Brothers has been doing landscape and hardscape work on the South Shore since 1986, and the record backs up the tenure: a 4.9-star average across 252 Angi reviews, a 4.8 on Google, and an Angi Super Service Award every year from 2014 through 2025 — twelve years running, with an Angi-Approved badge and no complaints visible on either profile. The range of work described is unusually specific and consistent. A 2026 review described a retaining wall, granite front steps, a granite walkway, granite lampposts, and a granite sign post, all completed in under a week and at the lowest quote the customer received. In a 2025 review, Bernie inspected a lawn a customer called "brutalized by grubs," and the crew removed the infested soil and put in a new lawn that looked better than it had in 34 years. A 2024 review described installing a patio, privacy bushes, and stump removal, and another from the same year said Bernie and his crew had been landscaping the customer's yard for over 20 years. Reviewers name Bernie and Gus specifically and repeatedly, crediting them for design suggestions, punctuality, and careful cleanup after the work is done. The company is a certified installer of high-strength concrete pavers and retaining walls, which lines up with how often granite and paver work comes up in the reviews. One small note: the company's own site says it has served the South Shore since 1986 (about 40 years), while its Angi profile lists 46 years in business — the two sources don't quite agree on exact tenure, though both describe a long-running operation. Nothing negative shows up anywhere in the written record. This looks like a strong pick for hardscape projects — patios, walkways, retaining walls, granite work — as well as ongoing lawn care, from one of the most consistently reviewed operators in the area.
