Mass Hardscapes describes itself as a small company that specializes in high end outdoor living spaces, and says it has been in business for 11 years. Its stated service area includes Natick, Framingham, Ashland, Hopkinton, Sherborn and Dover. Its own site says Josh attended The University of New Hampshire for Horticultural Technology. Its Houzz profile lists ICPI Certified Installer and NCMA Certified Installer. In a 2020 Houzz review, a customer wrote that Josh and his team built an outdoor patio with a fire pit, that he was flexible when they realized on the first day of excavating that the patio needed to be a few feet larger, and that he finished within his estimated timeline of one week. In another 2020 review, a customer who had decided to put in a pool wrote that Josh turned their ideas for a paver patio into a design, added lighting and plantings, gave the most detailed estimate they had received and made last-minute changes while the work was proceeding. A third 2020 review says the site was tidied up after each work day. In a 2019 review, a customer said the company turned an aging 30 year old brick paver pool deck into a backyard escape, including coping around an oval shaped pool, after a detailed proposal with a project timeline, cost breakdown and design sketch; that customer also noted a five year warranty on the construction and installation. In another 2019 review, a customer wrote that Joshua Jones and his crew installed a stone walkway, started at the agreed-upon time and removed all debris when they left, and that his suggestion of a two-color walk using grey and brown stone worked out well. A 2019 customer in Medfield wrote that front steps and a walkway were done in two days. Another 2019 review describes two new patios, a sitting wall, a built-in bar and a walkway, plus lights, landscaping and a putting green. In a 2018 review, a customer said Josh and his team installed a pool patio with a sitting wall, lighting and a waterfall feature, and that Josh worked with their pool, irrigation and fence companies.

Prompt, professional, quality work from the quoting process all the way through the installation, cleanup and billing. The crew was quick, professional, and respectfully COVID safe. We especially appreciated how the site was tidied up after each work day. thanks for a great job Josh and crew!
Josh and his amazing team built our long awaited outdoor patio with fire pit. We could not be happier with the finished product! We cannot say enough about the professionalism that Josh exhibits. He is communicative and timely. He worked with us as we tweaked the design he presented us and gave numerous suggestions with thoughtful, informative reasoning behind his ideas. He was flexible with us when, on the first day of excavating, we realized we needed to extend the size of the patio by a few feet- no problem at all. He kept the job moving and finished within his estimated timeline of one week. We would 100% hire him again in the future and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking to create a great outdoor space.
Wonderful experience throughout the process. Easy communication. Love the final product. Will be back for any future projects. Thanks again Josh.
After we decided to put in a pool last summer, we knew we wanted a paver patio and a friend recommended Mass Hardscapes. We met with Josh last summer and discussed the project. We had some ideas of what we wanted to include and he was able to put them into a design and elevated it just that much more as if he could read our minds. He added lighting and plantings and created the perfect backyard oasis. We spoke to a few other contractors and no one was as knowledgeable or as personable as Josh. He was willing to meet with us multiple times, answered all of our questions, and his estimate was the most detailed we had received. We felt confident that Mass Hardscapes would give us just what we wanted and booked them for the spring. Even while the work was proceeding, Josh made last minute changes/additions without hesitation and kept us updated on the progress. The crew was great too — always cleaning up after themselves at the end of the day and meticulous in their work. We would highly recommend Mass Hardscapes and will certainly call them again for our next project!
Mass Hardscapes installed a walkway at our home last week. Joshua Jones and his crew did a wonderful job on the walk. Joshua suggested a walk with two colors - grey and brown. Although I was skeptical at first, the walkway looks wonderful!. I would recommend Mass Hardscapes for any stonework.
