Shady Tree Landscaping Inc.

Shady Tree Landscaping is a Norwood-based landscaping and irrigation company that handles everything from landscape maintenance and construction to lighting, hardscape work, and winter services. The company says Gregory Kay founded it in 1991 and still leads it as president and primary owner, serving Dover, Medfield, Norwood, Needham, Sherborn, and Weston. The clearest customer story is a 2025 Google review about a patio installation and planting around the patio: the homeowner called the work awesome. That praise sits alongside a much older warning; in a January 2022 Google review, a customer said that despite the company's size, nobody returned an email. With only two written reviews spanning 2022 to 2025, the public customer history is short, so the practical question is how reliably the team communicates during a larger project. Shady Tree presents a broad outdoor-services menu, including patio construction, paver installation, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, water features, lighting, irrigation, and maintenance. Its Houzz profile lists MCH and MCLP staff certifications, while the company site lists LMN Certified, OSHA 10, and SIMA membership. They are a sensible call for homeowners planning landscape construction, maintenance, or irrigation work, especially a project involving a patio and surrounding planting. Before booking, confirm the communication process, the specific scope, and who will manage follow-up once work begins.
