Waelde Landscape Contractor

Waelde Landscape Contractor has been working out of Swampscott since 1974 and is now in its second generation, according to its Houzz page. The service list reads like a full-yard operation rather than a mow-and-go crew: hardscaping, patios, paver work, retaining walls, fire pits and outdoor lighting on the construction side, and planting, sod, irrigation, seeding and lawn care for the upkeep. The territory it claims is tight — Lynn, Salem, Beverly, Danvers, Marblehead, Swampscott and Nahant. Houzz carries no customer reviews for the company, so treat that menu as what they offer rather than as a track record. Ask for addresses of patios or walls they have built nearby, and for photographs of the finished jobs.
