In September 2025 a customer ran down what Pandolfi had just finished behind their house: the patio around the pool, an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, and a waterfall into the pool with a fire feature built into it. That is the shape of the work here — a whole yard built as one project, not a patio dropped into it. Nick Pandolfi runs the company out of Agawam and calls it a small, family-owned design-and-build landscape and hardscape business, covering patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, pergolas, low-voltage lighting and plunge pools across Western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut. BusinessWest reported in April 2023 that he built it on nights and weekends while working days as groundskeeper at the Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Agawam. The company lists certifications as an SRW installer and a Techo Pro installer, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. The written accounts run from 2022 to 2025, and they are about planning as much as stone. A July 2025 customer had a deck demoed, a paver patio installed with plantings, and grading done to fix a drainage problem, and singled out the design documents and diagrams that came with the job. In December 2022 a couple had a patio and pergola built after revising the design until it matched what they had in mind. A Connecticut homeowner installing a Soake plunge pool in August 2023 said Melissa in the office and Nick handled a town's permit and inspection schedule. When a water pipe burst under a front patio in July 2022, that customer said the replacement took about two and a half days. Price came up as often as craftsmanship. A July 2023 customer called the paver quote competitive with other bids; an August 2025 customer said the retaining wall and patio were a good price for the quality; a September 2024 homeowner who had a muddy path replaced with a proper walkway called the pricing fair. A church wrote in February 2025 that the company clears its lot reliably after every storm. One account goes the other way, and it is about getting to a start. In July 2025 a homeowner who had already chosen a design and the stone for a replacement patio waited two weeks for Nick to come out, liked his ideas when he did, and left a two-star review of how things went from there. Worth knowing too: the BBB file is unclaimed and carries no rating, with the bureau saying it lacks sufficient information; it lists Nicholas Pandolfi as president and a 2018 start date. For a back yard you want designed and built in one go — patio, wall, kitchen, fire, pool surround — with the permitting taken off your hands, this is a strong fit. Ask up front how long the estimate will take and pin the start date down in writing.
“He had a day job —working for the state as groundskeeper for the Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Agawam. But he had a side hustle, if you will, on nights and weekends, doing hardscape installation work such as patios, retaining walls, sidewalks, and more.”
Nick and his team (Dan and Don) were amazing. The communication and timeliness of the job was on point. Pandolfi Landscapes put the pool patio in, built an outdoor kitchen, installed a fire pit as well a water fall into the pool with a fire feature. They also constructed a fountain area in my front landscape with a beautiful sidewalk to get from the driveway to the front door. All of this was highlighted with low voltage lighting. We could not be more pleased.
Pandolfi Landscaping did an absolutely amazing job on our new patio and firepit! From start to finish, the entire team was polite, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Nick stayed in constant communication throughout the project, keeping us updated every step of the way. He even went above and beyond by coordinating with our gas company and plumber to make sure everything went smoothly. We couldn’t be happier with the end result. It’s beautiful, functional, and exactly what we envisioned. Highly recommend!
Nick and his crew did an absolute amazing job on my retaining wall and patio. Price was great for the quality of work! Will definitely use again for my future projects
Based on their reviews, I was looking forward to meeting with Nick and getting an estimate on my replacement patio. Unfortunately, things did not go as I had hoped. I did wait two weeks for Nick to come out, but I liked his ideas and his vision. I had a design and stone already picked out and the job would be able to be completed as I had hoped. However, he told me that my estimate would not be completed for two weeks, which was very disappointing. I was clear with him what my financial parameters were and what I would not pay. After two weeks, no estimate. I called him and he told me it would be an another week for my estimate. So three weeks out. This concerned me because jobs are being done to get the money in, but no time for estimates to be completed. When I finally got the estimate it was way over my budget by 6 K dollars. A few days later, I received an email from Nick asking If I got the estimate and if I reviewed it. I called him and told him that it was way too much for me to justify paying for my job and that I had been clear with him about the pricing when we met. He was filled with apologies and said, just give me 24 to 48 hours and you will have a new estimate, I promise. Well it’s been a month later and no estimate or phone call. My job was not a big job. It was not a large patio. I believe that had a large impact on his not interested in completing it. Otherwise, he would have been more expeditious in taking the job. Customer service and consistency is key for me. Unprofessionalism is not what I am looking for and have moved on at this point.
Nick and his team demoed an existing deck, installed a paver patio complete with plantings, and completed grading work to address a drainage issue at our house. They produced high quality design documents and diagrams for us, and management of the "admin" side of the project was seamless through their proposal and invoicing software. For the project itself, they took care to involve us in design decisions, used high quality materials throughout, and generally did things the "right" way/ did not cut corners. Our house is built on a hillside, which makes it very challenging to move equipment and materials on a good day - throw in some some bad luck with weather and it makes it all the more difficult. Nick and his team navigated these hurdles with the utmost professionalism. They worked hard every day they were here, and communication was excellent from estimate through post-project clean-up and check-ins. We were beyond impressed, and would recommend Pandolfi Landscape Construction to anyone.
