Shady Tree Landscape & Irrigation Inc

Shady Tree Landscape & Irrigation is a family-run outfit in Norwood that says it has been building landscapes since 1991, when Gregory Kay started the company; his brother Doug joined in 1994. The company reports more than 25 full- and part-time employees now, split between a landscape-construction side run by Todd Cullen — a Massachusetts Certified Landscape Professional — and an irrigation-and-lighting side led by Peter Roberto, serving homeowners, businesses, and municipalities across roughly 35 towns in the Norwood, Newton, and Quincy area. Its listed lineup covers the full outdoor build: hardscaping, patios, retaining walls, paver work, fire pits and outdoor kitchens, water features, and lighting, plus commercial and municipal snow and ice removal. The company also lists membership in the Irrigation Association and the Snow & Ice Management Association. Anyone weighing the wide project list — from a backyard fire pit to a municipal snow contract — should ask which division, landscape construction or irrigation and lighting, would actually run their job.
