William F. Dunn Landscaping is a family shop that has been working yards around Groveland since the early 1980s — Bill Dunn started with lawn mowing and firewood, and the business the family says it grew into now spans landscaping, hardscaping, masonry and general contracting, run today with his wife Theresa and son Patrick. A recent review describes exactly the kind of full-yard job people call them for: a redesign that added more than 30 plants and trees, cleared a wood-chip parking area, and mulched the property, with Bill coming out personally to walk through the plan and check the results. That hands-on style shows up in older reviews too — in a 2024 review, a homeowner credited the crew with hand-building a masonry retaining wall on a tight, shadeless lot after heavier equipment couldn't fit; another 2024 review traced years of tree removal, stump grinding and excavation work at the same address; a third, also from 2024, credited steady communication and on-time crews after six years of trying other landscapers first. On Nextdoor, neighbors in Newburyport and Merrimac have separately named the company when people asked for landscaping and lawn-maintenance help. Two complaints sit against that record. In a 2025 review, a customer called the owner rude and said they would never hire the company again, without describing a specific job. In a 2024 review, a buyer said a used lawn tractor purchased from the family had its mower deck fail five weeks later and felt taken advantage of on the sale. The company carries an A+ Better Business Bureau rating. Its own site dates the family business to 1982; BBB's profile puts the start a bit later, in 1984, with 42 years in business and 13 employees — worth asking about if the exact history matters to you. For a full landscaping or masonry project, this reads like a crew that shows up and finishes; for a smaller job, it's worth confirming who on the crew you'll be dealing with.

“Dunn’s Landscaping maintained our in Merrimac. Good people.”
Bills team did landscaping, clean up, mulch and cleared area for car parking with wood chips. Landscaping of 30+ plants and trees. Great advice and worked in design with us. Came personally to discuss project and oversee results. Our yard looks fantastic!!! Great communication and greet service.
The owner is a terrible person. He is rude and doesn’t have good customer service. I will NEVER hire this company.
Purchased a lawn tractor from this family, and the entire mower deck fell off 5 weeks later. My fault for not knowing what to look for, but they knew they were taking advantage of me. Don’t make the same mistake I did, buy somewhere else.
Dear Bill and Theresa We wish to thank you both and your crew of dedicated, talented, and extremely hard-working craftsmen who created our new, very beautiful masonry retaining wall. This project posed many challenges starting with trying to replace a very large and heavy existing wooden retaining wall which ran along the property lines of a very small front yard. This did not allow for the use a backhoe ore any landscaping machinery. The entire project needed to be completed by hand in direct sunlight since there are no trees to provide any shade. Second, the weather during the construction was extremely sunny with temperatures in the high 90’s and high humidity. Throughout the entire project your men worked ceaselessly and extremely hard. They were always very courteous, respectful, quick to offer a smile, and focused on the quality of their work. The results of their efforts have resulted in a complete transformation of our front yard. We, and our neighbors, are so happy with their beautiful work. This was such a difficult project, and the beauty of this newly constructed wall surpassed all expectations of what was possible for our property. We also wish to thank you for being so straightforward in all communications and trustworthy throughout the entire project. This reassured us that you knew exactly how to tackle what we felt was an impossible project. VERY WELL DUNN!

I want to give a shout out to William Dunn Landscaping in Groveland Massachusetts for the years of outstanding work on various projects performed at my residence in town. Over the years Bill and his son Patrick have taken down trees, removed large stumps, performed excavation work, and been there for years of spring lawn needs. It was this most recent job, (pic attached) that really got me to reflect back-over the years with an appreciation for their experience, honesty, and fair appraisals. I had 100 feet of embankment in desperate need of an erosion containment solution. I started with a visit to the office where Bill’s wife Theresa noted my concerns and immediately relayed them to Bill who soon visited with his son to access the job, there were a number of factors that needed to be considered. We agreed on a plan of action and Patrick got to work with his team preparing the site and completing the work with precision and care. Each time I wandered out to be a nuance he would stop what he was doing and take the time to explain how things were progressing. I have enjoyed every moment working with this local business including seeing their dogs Toby and Gus who fight for attention whenever anyone visits their office on Center Street. There is a quaintness to living in a small town like Groveland, akin to “Cheers” where everyone knows your name and it is terrific having William F. Dunn Landscaping as part of Grovelands landscape. Personal thanks, Dan
