St. Clair Landscaping is based in Ludlow, MA, and reports 50 years in business. Its website lists hardscaping, walkways and driveways, retaining walls, paver patios, irrigation, landscape lighting, lawn care, hydroseeding, drainage and basement waterproofing, and names Springfield, Agawam, East Longmeadow, Monson, Palmer, Holyoke, Chester, Chicopee, Amherst and Ware as its service area. A recent customer who replaced a temporary deck with a patio said the work paid careful attention to the grade of the land and managed water flow with a retaining wall. Another recent review says Bill and his team installed a new paver walkway and stairs and worked through pouring rain to get the job done. A recent customer had mulch removed and rocks put in around the perimeter of the house and said the job was done in under 2 days. Another recent review praises a new sidewalk and patio area and names Cody and Charles as the hardscapers. A recent 1-star review describes finished landscaping around a newly installed in-ground pool. The customer was happy with the edging and landscaping stone, but said a planned swale was not built after Bill told them they hit ledge, that after the first substantial rainfall two of the four sides of the pool patio flooded with surface water, and that nearly all the new grass from the hydroseeding turned black and died. The customer said they were told only after paying that fertilizing would be an additional cost, and that St Clair has been non-responsive to numerous attempts to contact them. In a 2025 review, a customer with water in the basement said Bill and his team patched holes around the water meter line with hydraulic cement, applied a rubber membrane adhesive, lined the exterior trench with drainage fabric and rocks, and installed a new downspout, with all work guaranteed. In another 2025 review, a customer said Bill and his crew replaced a cracked concrete walkway with a paver walkway and covered the concrete steps with a matching paver veneer. A 2025 review says they regraded a lawn and set up a sprinkler system. In a 2024 review, a customer said Bill and his team built a back patio, fixed drainage issues and finished a hatchway to match the patio. In another 2024 review, a customer who had used St. Clair for about 4 years said they designed and installed the lawn irrigation system, renovated the back lawn and installed risers for the septic tank. A 2024 review from a customer who built a home in Eastern MA in 2022 says Bill designed the plantings, paver driveway and underground irrigation system and worked with the Town to confirm compliance with Town of Dennis regulations. In a 2023 review, a customer said they had started using St. Clair for lawn mowing that year and that the weekly fee was less than they paid their previous provider. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor licence 159554 is expired on the state registry.
I had a temporary “deck” in my backyard and finally decided to get a proper patio put in. Not only were the St Clairs exceptional to work with, the attention to detail in the work their company puts out is amazing and for a reasonable price. From start to finish, there was careful attention to the grade of the land, manipulating water flow with a retaining wall, and just the cleanest set up and break down I’ve experienced from workers. I am so incredibly happy with the patio and wall and can’t wait to enjoy evenings out on it. I highly recommend St Clair for their work. 10/10 will be contacting them for all my future landscaping needs!!
We hired St Clair to do the finished landscaping around our in-ground pool that we had installed earlier this year. They installed edging and landscaping stone around the pool area, which we are very happy with. Another part of the project that we hired them for was regrading our backyard and creating a swale to divert water away from our pool. On the day they arrived they immediately started spreading loam. I was home at the time and I discussed with the team that they needed to create the swale which we had discussed with Bill at great length. The equipment operator told me a swale would look ugly and they wouldn’t recommend doing a swale. I immediately called Bill and he told me they hit ledge and couldn’t do the swale. This was convenient because the same area the swale was supposed to go was excavated for our pool and there was no ledge what so ever. Bill assured us they could still divert water away from the pool and that the drainage wouldn’t be an issue at all. We believed based on their experience that they knew what they were doing. Unfortunately after the first substantial rainfall two of the four sides of our pools patio were flooded with surface water and water almost made it into our pool. We have made numerous attempts to contact St Clair and they have been non-responsive. Part of the project that we hired St Clair for was to Hydro seed the area they were regrading. The hydro seeding was slow to start and Bill immediately started blaming the sprinkler company. We had the sprinkler company return to check everything over only to find that the coverage was more than adequate. We continued to follow St Clair’s instruction for watering and the lawn started to come in. However, after a few days nearly all the baby grass turned black and died. When we reached out to St Clair we were told we should have used them to fertilize the baby grass. This is ironic because Bill told us when they Hydro seeded that they would be back to fertilize and address any weeds that came up. Only after we paid them were we told that fertilizing would be an additional cost. At this point their failed hydro seeding is a moot point as we need to have almost everything they did fixed by a competent drainage contractor and a lawn reinstalled. Nothing like paying for the same project twice and getting no support from St Clair after they were paid.
Five stars for St.Clair Landscaping! Bill and his team did an amazing job installing my new paver walkway and stairs. The workmanship was excellent, and the finished project came out beautiful. What impressed me even more was their dedication — the guys worked through pouring rain to get the job done and were pleasant, professional, and hardworking the entire time. I highly recommend St.Clair Landscaping to anyone looking for quality work and a great team to work with!
We recently had mulch removal + rocks put in around the perimeter of our house, and could not be happier with the work that St. Clair Landscaping completed. Bill and his team were incredibly responsive from the beginning - returning calls and questions quickly, coming to our house multiple times to provide thorough quotes and samples, and working cleanly and professionally when completing the job. Pricing was incredibly reasonable, the job was done in under 2 days, and Bill truly a salt-of-the-earth business owner. The rocks they provided are beautiful, and they completely transformed previously problem areas in our yard. We couldn’t recommend them enough and will be using for future landscaping projects!
