The best account of this Bridgewater company comes from someone who called it in a panic. In July 2024 a homeowner whose previous contractor had walked off the job halfway through — after demanding repeated payments up front — hired Northern Landscape Construction to finish it. What stuck with them was watching the brick steps go in: "like watching an artist at work... meticulous, patient, and dedicated to the integrity of the project". It is a one-person operation. BBB records it as a sole proprietorship started on 9 February 2023, with Stephen Anthony as manager and sole contact, and grades it A+ without accreditation. The work customers describe is hardscape: mortared brick steps, a walkway, general landscape construction. A June 2024 customer said the walkway crew showed up, finished on time and went beyond the brief; a 2023 customer praised the pricing as much as the finish. The caution is simply how little there is. Five written accounts exist, and one of them is the same review appearing again on BBB, so four separate customers have written about this company. They all rated it five stars, and they all wrote in 2023 or 2024 — nothing in the two years since. A reasonable call for steps, a walkway or a rescue on a stalled hardscape job, and easy to check because the owner does the work himself. Ask for two references from the past year, and — since this is a one-person business — confirm insurance and who is on site before you book.
I cannot recommend Northern Landscape Construction enough! We had engaged another contractor who decided to walk away from the project halfway through (he didn’t like us questioning his demands for repeated payments up front, early in the project). In a panic I looked for another company and luckily chose NLC. Steven is not only approachable, accommodating, and hardworking, he is a true professional. Watching him lay mortared brick steps was like watching an artist at work... meticulous, patient, and dedicated to the integrity of the project. He is friendly and collaborative, and very fair and reasonable in his pricing. It didn’t take us long to realize our former contractor did us a huge favor by leaving; comparing his slipshod work to Steve’s is absolutely glaring in its discrepancy. It has been a definite win-win for us. I would hire Steve to handle any hardscaping or landscaping job. In fact, we were so pleased early on, we added a large job to this one (setting a bluestone floor in a large porch). And he is currently compiling estimates for at least four more projects we are planning for the fall and next spring. Do yourselves a favor – Call or email Steve at Northern Landscape Construction before you call anyone else. You will be pleasantly surprised.
Excellent job with my walk way. Very prompt and responsive. Showed up and completed the work timely. Went above and beyond and was very easy to work with
We used Stephen for a recent project at our home. He was extremely easy to work with, his prices were great, and his work was even better! Loom forward to using him again in the future!
A very good experience with Northern Landscape Construction and I'm looking forward to using them again.
