Stucchi Landscape & Design

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.
