O'Connor Design Build of Middletown designs and builds outdoor spaces. Its website lists Portsmouth, Westport, Dartmouth and Fall River as its service area and says the company earned the Preservation Society of Newport County's 2026 Laurel Award. A local news site has written about its garden work, and its Google page shows 5 stars from 19 ratings. A 2023 customer said the company transformed their front landscape with a stacked stone retaining wall and new shrubbery, with Tom choosing deciduous plantings, evergreens and grasses along with a bluestone walkway. A 2023 customer with a small, overgrown back yard said Tom and his team turned the unusual space into what they called an oasis their family uses year round, and that Tom steered them away from common costly mistakes. A 2024 customer singled out the shape of the patio, the plantings and the fence/arbor design, and said they would use the company again.

“It was built by O’Connor Design Build of Middletown.”
“A stone terrace was designed off the back of the home to offer same-level entertaining, which included a sitting area, firepit, and dining area with a pergola.”
“From the kitchen, you can look out the dining room sliders to the garden, which O’Connor Design Build refashioned with a row of hornbeams along the back fence and new planting beds filled with gravel instead of mulch”
Good
Tom’s a pro with big returns in small spaces. The shape of the patio, the plantings, the fence/arbor design., he just gets it. Would happily and def will, use O’Conner again.
O’Connor Design Build not only transformed our small, overgrown back yard, but they were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the project. Tom and his team took an unusual space and created an oasis that our family uses year round. Tom’s vast experience steered us away from common costly mistakes and also helped create unique touches that achieved the functionality and style we wanted. If quality, cost efficiency and an enjoyable process are important to you, use O’Connor Design Build. If complicated and frustrating is your preference go somewhere else.
O’Connor Build Design transformed our existing front landscape with a stacked stone retaining wall and new shrubbery. Tom chose a variety of deciduous plantings, evergreens and grasses along with a bluestone walkway enhancing our entrance. Nicely done! We would highly recommend Tom and his crew.
