Stucchi Landscape & Design, in Holliston, is a design-build outdoor firm built around one name: nearly every review names Jim Stucchi directly as the person who designs the project and stays involved through installation. Two local design features from 2025 describe homeowners who called Jim before even buying a house, to confirm a lot had room for a pool. The written record is small but uniformly strong: nine reviews from 2022 to 2025, all five stars on Google, plus a Houzz Award badge. Customers describe genuine design work, not just installation - in a December 2025 review, a homeowner said Jim 'redesigned and installed new landscaping, hardscaping and lighting' with results called 'striking'; in a 2024 review, a customer described Jim building a design around existing plantings and stone ahead of a home renovation, delivering a detailed estimate and pushing to finish on an accelerated timeline; a 2023 review described a large backyard project that exceeded expectations for design, timeline, and installation. Several reviews, including ones from 2022 and 2023, single out Jim's personal involvement - stopping by after the job to check the result, and treating small landscaping jobs with the same care as large stone work. BBB grades the company A+, though its filing lists Tom Stucchi as owner of record, while every customer review and press mention describes Jim Stucchi as the designer clients actually work with - likely a family business with more than one Stucchi involved, worth clarifying who's leading a given project. Separately, its Houzz profile lists a phone number that doesn't match the company's published one, so it's worth confirming contact details directly through its website. For a from-scratch outdoor design - not just planting or maintenance, but a planned layout with hardscaping, lighting, and stonework - Stucchi has a small, consistent, design-forward track record; given how few reviews exist, it's still worth asking for references on a project the size being considered.
“The planning for this home in Needham started before the house was purchased. The homeowners wanted to ensure that there would be enough room for a pool and space for their dogs to run.”
“For this Boston-area family, having a swimming pool was so important that they called landscape designer Jim Stucchi to make sure the new house they were considering had room for one before buying it.”
Jim has a great eye for design and really knows his craft. They redesigned and installed new landscaping, hardscaping and lighting in front of our house. He and his team did high quality work and the artistry of the end product is striking. I’d use them again without hesitation.
Jim was excellent to work with. Very thoughtful on how to incorporate and transition new landscaping design to match some of the existing we were leaving in place. Work was done when promised / on schedule. Pleasure to work with.
In anticipation of a renovation of our home, we began to work with Jim about plans for the exterior. Jim was thoughtful, knowledgeable, responsive and a joy to work with. He created a design that met our needs, utilized existing plantings and stone, and provided a detailed and clear estimate of the scope of work. He and his team rallied for us to complete the project in a timeline we had not originally planned on, despite a few surprises we were not anticipating in the process. I cannot recommend Jim and his team enough - it was a wonderful experience to work with them and we are beyond thrilled about the haven they have created for our family.
Excellent landscaping work and overall service. Jim was very easy to work with, responsive and his team did an excellent job. Highly recommended.
Working with Jim and his team at Stucchi Landscape was a wonderful experience. We hired them to design the landscaping for our front yard, our walkway and entrance steps. Jim has a strong sense for design and helped guide us to create an end product that matches our style and compliments our house. They were personable, knowledgeable, and easy to worth with. Our yard looks completely transformed and beautiful!
