Thoreau Landscape Company describes its work as landscape design and construction, tree care, masonry, hardscape and softscape work, snow removal and fence installation in the Metro West and Greater Boston areas. The company says it has served Norfolk and Suffolk County since 2001. A 2025 customer said Matt and his team took down two silver maples of 60 to 70 feet and removed all the debris. A 2025 reviewer wrote that a large, dying Norway maple was taken down and chopped up within hours. A 2024 customer with water coming into the basement said Matt and the crew put in two dry wells and ran two downspouts underground away from the house. That 2024 customer said the work was done on schedule and on budget. A 2022 customer said Matt redid and extended a back patio, added veneer stone and bluestone caps to an existing cement wall, overhauled the front and side walkways and installed sod. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 211850, is expired on the state registry.
Matt and his team took down two silver maples in my yard and did an absolutely superb job. I couldn't be more pleased. They were incredibly efficient (>4 hours) to remove two 60-70ft trees, doing an immaculate job removing all debris and detritus. What I appreciated was Matt's friendly personality and his attention to the client's needs. I have had many subpar experiences with tree removal companies in the Boston area. He is punctual and communicative. Without a doubt, both me (and my neighbors) will use Thoreau for any of our future tree removal and trimming needs. Thanks so much!
Matt and his team did a terrific job removing a large, dying Norway Maple from our front yard. Within hours the tree was safely taken down and chopped up. What I enjoy most about working with Matt is that he also comes with ideas. Now that the tree is gone, and with it some old shrubs, he and I are already brainstorming on how to replant the area and my partner and I are excited to see those ideas come to life.
Had water coming into the basement for the first time in the 15 years living here. Matt and the crew did 2 Dry Wells and took another two downspouts away from the house neatly underground, now everything drains properly away from the foundation. Nice and dry now. This team did the work on schedule, showing up exactly when they were supposed to, and on budget and work is top quality. Highly recommended!
Excellent service. Installed sod and put in a patio for us.
Matt was friendly and professional; did an estimate and delivered on time and at budget. Craftsmanship is great, didn’t spare any detail related to the hardscaping and landscaping. I would highly recommend for any landscaping or hardscaping!
