Mike and his team did an awesome job for us. We compared many companies and many quotes and Mike was definitely the guy who most seemed willing to work with us on budget and still get us the finish we wanted. And they did not disappoint. All his guys are great; Hardworking, honest and pleasant to have on your property. Mike himself stopped by almost every day and always took time to talk through with me any changes or finishes. We had Wollaston do both hardscape: driveway and patio and the grass and plantings. When the job was finished almost every neighbor (and I few strangers on the street) stopped us to tell us how absolutely beautiful it is!

Wollaston Development designed and created a beautiful landscape for the front and side of my home. I absolutely love it and it makes me smile every time I drive up to my house. Working with this team was a pleasure. From picking out and designing the plans with Michael to the crew that came in to build everything. They were extremely knowledgeable and true gentleman. Anytime I requested a change they made every effort to ensure I was happy with the final product. The end product is gorgeous, well designed to require limited upkeep and the experience with the team was great. Highly recommend

I can't recommend Wollaston Development highly enough! Mike, the owner, is fantastic—extremely communicative and is very reasonable with his prices. His team is equally impressive; they are hardworking, professional, and more than willing to answer any questions you might have as they do the work. They recently transformed our backyard, which was dirt pit after some construction work. The result is nothing short of pristine. Being local to the area, Wollaston Development will be my first call for any future landscaping design and installation needs. If you’re looking for top-notch service and beautiful results, look no further!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Mike and his team at WD Landscaping for a major backyard remodel, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We had a small slope in our yard that we wanted to level out, and Mike's team did a fantastic job of making our vision a reality. They skillfully leveled the yard, installed a beautiful boulder retaining wall, and removed several trees while planting new ones with a well-designed garden bed. The team also installed a comprehensive irrigation system and lighting, which have transformed our backyard into a stunning and functional space. Mike was always incredibly responsive and took the time to listen to our needs, offering solutions that fit within our budget. While WD may not be the least expensive option, Mike's flexibility and willingness to work with us provided great peace of mind throughout the process. A special shoutout to Andy, whose expertise with the machinery was truly impressive—his contributions were instrumental in the project's success. The entire team was experienced, professional, and dedicated to delivering top-quality work. Overall, WD Landscaping exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled landscaping company.

We had an excellent experience working with Wollaston. Wollaston installed three drywells, irrigation, garden beds, front & back lawn, shrubs, tree, lighting, etc. We began working with Mike early on to develop and shape our landscaping ideas for our home. Mike made great recommendations, provided guidance on vegetation, and easily handled changes along the way. The entire Wollaston team was super professional. Mike called all around and even drove way out west to find our tree. Our yard looks amazing. Highly recommend!

Mike was responsive, timely, and helpful, and his team were professional and did high quality work. We needed all the weeds, construction debris, and old plantings cleaned from our yard, and new soil places with a basic retaining wall and some leveling of the property. We are very pleased with the work and can't wait to get started building our new garden. I would hire them again without question..

Mike and his team were awesome. My yard has been transformed beyond my expectations. I gave them a general idea of what I liked and let them run with it. They turned my vision into something incredible. I love it. Crew was friendly and professional and took great care of my property. I will hire them again.

We were thrilled and continue to be happy with the work we had done by Wollaston Development. Mike and his crew did an amazing job refreshing our landscaping and installing a bluestone paver sitting area for the front of our house. The team delivered sooner than we had anticipated and helped us make the house my partner and I purchased into our home, adding considerable curb appeal. Mike took the time to help us select appropriate shrubs and flowers, and his crew was diligent and meticulous in their work. Look no further for reliability, a keen eye to detail and taste, and at a reasonable cost.

The backyard was overgrown and neglected for many years. Mike, and his wonderful crew, transformed it. New patio, beds, plants and pathways along with fresh loam and seed. All done in little more than a week. Mike, and his team s, expertise is apparent as I look onto a renewed backyard. Bonus? All done to plan and within budget. Looking forward to part 2 of the project next year.

We needed to rip out our small front and back yards and replace the plants with pet-friendly, drought tolerant plantings. Mike and his crew did a highly professional, beautiful, and timely job, and they even made up for time lost to an unexpected, monsoon-like downpour. They worked within our budget and were willing to phase the project if need be. I was impressed with the design suggestions, which were tailored to our aesthetic and the way we use our yards. From plant selection to installation and cleanup, this was a rare time in our almost 30 years of homeownership that a job felt like a HGTV makeover. I highly recommend this company for their quality service and would use them again in a heartbeat.

Where do I begin.... these guys did a really fantastic job! The short version is right price, great attention to detail, prompt, courteous and hard working. We had a 5ft fieldstone wall that must have been over 50 yrs old. It was bowing and some of the larger stones had fallen out. Mike (owner) came in did a quick review, talked me through budget & options. I asked them to replace a walkway and put in place a paved patio where we had a sloping lawn as part of the job. Mike followed up promptly with a well-priced very clear quote. He didt push me to do extra work and helped me stay within budget. They started work about a month later and in 9 days finished the entire job! They repaired the wall doing as much as was needed to make it look almost new while retaining its rustic look. They were able to re-use the stones we had, and also solved several drainage issues that were causing problems elsewhere. The job site was kept clean and organized each day so we had minimal disruption. The team came in by 8 every morning and were always extremely courteous. I will definitely be using them again for hardscape and landscape work and will recommend them to everyone!

One word to describe Wollaston Development... Professional. We had a top notch experience with Mike and Meredith and I highly recommend them. From our first meeting with Mike to the very end, WD was always there to answer any questions for us throughout the project. They were detail oriented with crystal clear objectives and milestones. The crew was on time, worked hard, and were highly skilled. I will hire WD again without question.

Wollaston did a comprehensive renovation of our urban outdoor space (driveway, stone walls, patios & landscaping). We were delighted with the result -- a complete transformation resulting in a beautiful urban oasis. Highlights included: highly interactive design process (our preference) sensitivity to environmental concerns nuanced understanding of plants and materials the ability to deal with unforeseen setbacks great attention to numerous design details. The process was surprisingly easy. They worked with our concepts and added their expertise. We enjoyed trips with the owner to the stone yard, nursery, and neighborhood design examples. The crew was friendly, thoughtful, highly skilled and fully engaged in the project. Our foreman Rick was a delight to work with.

These guys are amazing. It was a small patio that needed to be done since we moved in, but always took a back seat to all the other projects. This time I simply pulled the trigger and I couldn t have been happier. These guys came in and in a few days finished a beautiful job. I know it sounds stupid, but I cried when I saw it. I m a picky perfectionist and there generally is something I can pick out that is off or could have been better. This is perfect. I love it more than I even thought I would. Highly recommend!!

We had a large retaining wall constructed by Wollaston and from the design process, to the permits, to the organization and the execution of the project, Mike and his team were wonderful to work with. It was a complicated area and they made sure there were no issues. They explained every step to us throughout the project and were very responsive when we had any questions. We are thrilled with the finished product and would absolutely use them again!

WD created exactly what we were looking for in our back patio - an outside room ! double fire pits with wood storage below; an L-shaped 20 bench to hug around it; and built-in grill/fridge. gorgeous stones that were individually set to make this a truly custom job. It came out absolutely gorgeous, and even better it looks like what should have always been there - blends in perfectly with the outside of our home. love love love

Mike and his crew did an amazing job fixing my front stone steps. I had them fixed twice before by other company s and they would never last through the winter! I was very happy with his service. He was very professional and fairly priced. My stairs are going strong and I would recommend Wollaston Development to anyone!

We hired Wollaston Development to redo our front lawn and we could not be happier with the finished product. Mike and his team were great to work with and it is clear they take pride in the work that they do. In a matter of 6 hours, our lawn went from an overgrowth of spotty grass and weeds, to the envy of our neighbors. Through the entire process, Mike worked with us to form our vision in to a reality. Mike helped us select various types of plants and flowers that tastefully tie together the look of our property. We also requested a patio big enough for two chairs and small table for the corner of the lawn underneath an existing dogwood, which turned out better than we could have imagined. Before he left, Mike made sure to walk us through the importance and sometimes tricky process of caring for newly planted flowers, plants, and sod. I highly recommend Wollaston Development for your landscaping needs!

When I was building my new home I hired Wollaston Development to do all the exterior landscaping and design which included sod, mulch and new trees/shrub, brick paver walkway and beautiful brick paver back patio with built-in grill. They were super helpful with their ideas, responsive and got the work done in a timely manner and I love my yard and patio! Ive recommended them to my friends who were also very happy. I still reach out with questions and Mike has been my go-to guy.

WD made sure I was happy with the way my yard came out. They continued to do so during the project and after. They were receptive to my concerns and made sure every part of the project was finished, to include minor adjustments and ensuring that the yard will continue to look its best. They also provided information on how to keep the grass, hydrangeas, and azaleas looking their best. I had no knowledge of landscaping prior to this and they made it easy for me

Wollaston Development installed a stone patio and exterior stairs at our home in Somerville. Their attention to detail in choosing quality materials while staying within our tight budget was really beneficial. Their crew showed up on time everyday working tirelessly in a crazy heat wave hauling materials in and out by hand! Was so impressed with the result I referred them to another family member who needed a stone patio renovated in Milton and their result was equally as good. Would highly recommend working with these guys.

In the Spring of 2019 my brick patio was a mess. Bricks were falling in and others were popping up and it was surrounded by rotting wood. I contracted with Wollaston to redo the patio after getting quotes from 3 other contractors. Wollaston gave me the best price and was able to start promptly. They removed all of the old patio and replaced it with bricks of my choosing and pattern and edged it with cobblestones. The accomplished this in less than 2 1/2 days, so very quick and easy, and certainly the best price. I highly recommend them.

Mike, and the whole team at Wollaston Development, were a pleasure to work with. We needed our small backyard in Boston landscaped, fenced in, and a patio built. As new homeowners, we were not sure where to even begin. Mike walked us through the process, and at every step explained our options. We also wanted to do some of the work ourselves, and Mike fully supported us in doing so. Mike and his team are professional, and easy to work with.

After a few years of cutting the grass and plowing the snow, our townhouse condominium lawns look far worse than before Wollaston got the contract. More broadleaf weeds and crabgrass, more bald dirt areas, more damaged areas due to careless mowing and mowing just after and even during a rain. This company may be good at something, but basic maintenance isn t it. I have yet to see a foreman or supervisor inspect the work being done or take responsibility for the shabby results.

Mike did a great job with us! He scoped the job well, answered questions and helped us with a couple of issues early on that made us feel like we could go forward.

In my line of work I have dealt with many companies over the years and Wollaston Development is definitely one of the best.

We hired Mike to build a patio extension and create a landscaping design/installation for our back yard. We could not be happier with the result. Mike showed up when expected, his crew was hard-working and polite, he worked with us on our budget, offering suggestions for various alternatives. Mike checked in with us daily to make sure we were pleased with the results, and he was 100% responsive to our needs and requests. We wholeheartedly recommend him!
