SalCorp Landscaping & Construction is a Walpole, Massachusetts company built by owner Sal Musto, who the business says has run full-service landscaping, hardscaping, excavation and commercial snow management for over 20 years and is on-site for almost every job. Its self-reported service area sprawls across dozens of Greater Boston and MetroWest towns, from Brookline and Dedham to Cape Cod towns like Barnstable, Bourne and Chatham. On Houzz, the company runs a hardscape-focused storefront called 'PatioScapes by SalCorp Landscaping' out of Westwood — patios, retaining walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, water features and masonry make up the bulk of its listed services there, and Houzz has given it an Award and a Badge alongside a 5.0-star average from its two reviews. A Westwood homeowners association president's 2017 review describes five straight landscaping seasons of professional, fair work from Musto's crew, and another 2017 review calls the company on-time and on-budget. A 2024 Google review names staff member Tom Shea for patient, knowledgeable help choosing plants and laying out a full landscape redo. Not every account is as smooth: a 2023 Google review describes a customer who'd had a good paver-walkway job done in 2020 or 2021 calling back for a driveway — Sal came out once to look, then went unanswered through a winter of voicemails and emails. It's the kind of follow-up-quote silence worth asking about directly, even though the earlier hardscape work for that same customer went well. One thing worth flagging: the company's own site and Google list it as SalCorp Landscaping & Construction in Walpole, while its Houzz presence uses the PatioScapes name and a Westwood address — almost certainly the same crew's hardscape line, but the two sources don't agree on the name or home city.

We employed SalCorp to design and install a complete, update of the landscape at the front of our home in Westwood. Our contact, Tom Shea, was knowledgeable and energetic. Tom made suggestions and help us select, and layout suitable plants and shrubs. He was patient and attentive throughout the process. He was totally "hands on" and available when it came time to do the work. Installation was scheduled in a timely fashion for October 2023. The crew was friendly, efficient and careful of our home and surroundings. We were totally satisified with the end result and would unconditionally recommend them.
We had Salcorp in 2020 or 2021 do our walkway with pavers and he did a great job and we needed a new driveway so we thought we could call Salcorp. In October 2022 Sal came by to look at the driveway. After many voice mails and emails over the winter (they could have had a message that they were not open in the winter), we finally heard from Lisa in March and said that they would be in touch as they were setting up the schedule.. After promises of Sal will call us when he got back in the office and that they would email us with the proposal, we are still waiting. I know Salcorp is very busy but we just wanted to get on the schedule for this year that why we started in October 2022. They are not interested in the job.
I am the president of a homeowners association in Westwood, MA and have been using SalCorp for the past five landscaping seasons. Sal Musto and his team have provided the highest standards of professionalism and workmanship over the years. SalCorp is also shown to be very fair and honest in quoting and completing on-time several projects for our association. I truly believe that SalCorp sets the industry gold-standard for landscaping and masonry firms. Sal Musto himself is a very sincere and polite individual and very easy to work with. He truly cares about customer satisfaction and is a perfect gentleman. I strongly recommend SalCorp without any hesitation or reservation!
Great company to work with. Went above and beyond and came in on time and on budget. Very professional and I would recommend them to anyone.
