New Englandscape Inc. is a Lexington-based residential and commercial landscape design, installation, and maintenance firm. Its listed work includes landscape and garden design, hardscaping, patios, fire pits, planting, pools, and outdoor structures. Recent customers describe substantial projects: in August 2026, a homeowner praised a backyard renovation completed to specification, and in May 2026 a reviewer liked a firepit and patio area with planting and retaining walls. An October 2025 homeowner praised Joe’s design work on a sidewalk planned to fit the house. Google shows five stars from four ratings, and Houzz shows 5.0 from two. Two Houzz reviews from 2015 describe earlier repeat work: one professional said the company had completed many of their projects over the prior decade, and another said six projects had been installed by then. Those accounts speak to work through 2015; the newer Google reviews describe current project experiences. For a landscape redesign or hardscape project, the reviews make design coordination and installation relevant parts of the conversation. Confirm the plans, included construction work, and maintenance responsibilities before work begins.

I can't say enough great things about Joe, Phillipe (the day-to-day foreman), the working crew and all of New Englandscape. They completely renovated my large-ish back yard and did an incredible job. They did everything exactly to spec and even pointed out places where I could save money. (Who does that?). Joe and Philippe are super knowledgeable, great communicators and endlessly patient with my (usually naive) questions. We had to tweak a few things as the project went along and they just did what was necessary to make things perfect without tacking on significant added costs. I actually looked forward to chatting with them as the work went on. The yard is now completely transformed, beautiful, and I'm not broke. Seriously, go with New Englandscape.
Joe and team laid out an awesome firepit/patio and planting area with retaining walls. it came out lovely. would recommend!
Joe and his team are phenomenal, consistently delivering an exceptional experience and great communication. What truly set him apart was his design expertise. While planning our sidewalk, Joe thoughtfully ensured the new feature would be perfectly cohesive with the house's aesthetic. He also demonstrated his horticultural knowledge by selecting plants for continuous, seasonal blooms all summer. Beyond his skill, Joe is meticulous, takes great care in his work, offers fair pricing, and has a wonderful personality.
I have built many projects with New Englandscape over the last ten years. They are a very reliable, knowledgeable and dependable company. They are good communicators, have a great, no problem too difficult, attitude and the clients find them very easy to work with during the course of the project. They manage both the budget and schedule appropriately and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any of my clients in the future.
New Englandscape has installed six of my projects to date and I plan to continue inviting them to bid projects in the future. Headed up by Joe Ascolese, the team is professional, courteous and overwhelmingly positive in their work. Joe has a calm, confident demeanor, which is helpful to clients when they are undertaking a construction project. Their work is always done well and they are fussy about good plant material, which I love! They know when to bring me on site to make a judgement call and, similarly, they know when to make the call themselves and to keep construction moving along. My clients and I are always happy with New Englandscape's work.
