I give them 10 stars if I could. Exceptional service right from the first meeting to design the driveway. Jimy was great and helped me with the initial design and I felt no pressure to make a quick decision. Installation couldn’t have been easier, Neptali and his team of Moses and Louis are incredible. My driveway looks like a work of art. The team was super respectful of my yard and created even more than when I expected. I would highly recommend this group and will be sure to call them myself if I want to add anything to my yard.

Full renovation of our garden!! double garage demolition (cinder blocks), removal of decades old beam of elevated garden and the long asphalt driveway. The team of 2 did a beautiful work installing new brick walkways around the house, new  picket fencing, arch and gates. The new smaller driveway is also a great addition made of large pavers.
My favorite piece is the retaining wall made of Pennsylvania grey stones. A work or art! Each stone was chosen carefully and cut meticulously when needed. Amazing!!. Fantastic work! Lots of compliments from neighbors 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We used The Pros to fence in our backyard, and we had a great experience! After putting in a request online for a free estimate, we were contacted promptly by Jimy. He was friendly, professional, and very easy to schedule with! He arrived on time to give us our estimate, and was great at breaking down all of the options and logistics. The communication moving forward was also very smooth, and the online payment system was very easy to use!

Moses was our project manager, and he was incredibly friendly, professional and efficient. He and his crew did an amazing job! Our project was completed earlier than we anticipated, and it exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend The Pros for your next project!

The office and designer were responsive throughout the project and the install crew was efficient, friendly, and tidy throughout the project. We would recommend them to others for landscaping projects.

Salo, Neptali, and their team did a great job with our new walkway, deck, and pool deck.  They kept us informed and everyone was very professional.  When a few small problems happened they were very quick to remediate which I really appreciated!  I would recommend Tge PROS, Inc to anyone looking for a fair and skilled contractor.  It was a major project with many components and they did a great job transforming the space from old and weathered to new and modern. Mike K

The team at The Pros does exceptional work. We were just blown away. Not only do they do incredible design, masonry, and landscaping, they are also incredibly kind and easy to work with—going the extra mile to make your yard look beautiful. We are so grateful to Elvi, Héctor, Moises, Luis, Neptali, and Jimy for everything they did to turn our yard from a bit of a no man’s land into a truly beautiful and peaceful space that we will enjoy for years to come. If you’re thinking about doing any kind of yard work, we highly, highly recommend hiring The Pros. I’ve added some before and after photos so you can see how amazing they are!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  This was our second time hiring The Pros, they did an incredible job! We had them install a paver walkway - beautiful work. We had a small issue with the level to our stair and they came back right away and fixed it no problem! Would definitely recommend them, and would definitely work with them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We had our backyard patio extended, put a new pathway and decorative lighting in, the crew ensured grading to allow for water drainage, and had a new patio with a fire pit installed. Very happy with the whole process from design to delivery to managing changes once onsite. Professional crew, very responsive, and delivered a high quality end product.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We had The Pros install a vinyl fence in our backyard, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From the initial estimate through the final installation, the team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with.

The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and paid close attention to every detail. The quality of the installation is outstanding—the fence is perfectly aligned, sturdy, and completely transformed our backyard. They also did a great job cleaning up when the work was finished, leaving everything neat and tidy.

It's refreshing to work with a company that does exactly what they promise. If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality fence installer, I highly recommend The Pros. We couldn't be happier with the final result!

We are absolutely thrilled with the transformation of our backyard by the Pros! from the very beginning, the entire team was professional, knowledgeable, creative, and a pleasure to work with. We would like to thank Alex, our landscape designer, who took our ideas and vision and transformed them into a beautiful outdoor living space that exceeded our expectations. The new patio, fire pit area, landscaping, bushes, and trees have completely changed the look and feel of our backyard. It is now a beautiful place where we can relax, entertain, and enjoy time with our family. A special thank you to Neptli, our project manager, for his professionalism, communication, and attention to detail throughout the project.He helped to ensure that everything came together smoothly and that the work was completed to a high standard.  We truly appreciate the hard work , care, and creativity that went into every aspect of this project.

Landscape Design for Massachusetts Properties

Massachusetts landscapes experience four distinct seasons, so site conditions matter.

Frost. First, patios, walls and steps sit on bases built for New England frost. So they don’t heave after a few winters.

Coastal lots. In Marblehead, Swampscott, Nahant and along the shore, wind and salt spray burn many plants. Instead, we use salt-tolerant choices such as bayberry, beach plum, inkberry and switchgrass.

Ledge and clay. Also, much of the North Shore sits on shallow ledge or heavy clay. So we plan grading, drainage and planting holes around what’s really under your lawn.

Native and climate-adapted plants. Homeowners are asking for more native and climate-adapted choices — switchgrass, little bluestem, native hydrangea and serviceberry are popular picks for structure and four-season interest: spring bloom, summer shade, fall color and winter shape.

Landscaping Services FAQ

What makes landscape design different in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts conditions rule out generic design advice. We plan for salt-tolerant plants on the coast, footings set below the 48-inch frost line, and drainage suited to the ledge and clay common on the North Shore, Essex & Middlesex County MA.

Do you handle permits for landscape design projects?

Many landscape projects need a town permit — retaining walls past a certain height, new structures, and drainage work are common triggers. We identify what your project needs during design and handle the permit applications, so you’re not navigating your town’s building department on your own.

What's the difference between landscape design and landscape installation?

Design is the planning stage: a site survey, a plan and 3D renderings you approve. Installation is the physical build. We do both, so the crew builds from the exact plan you approved, not someone else’s drawings.

What is your landscaping design process?

Our design process is personalized. It may include:

On-site Consultation: We’ll discuss your goals, style, and budget.
Site Analysis: Evaluating sunlight, existing plants, soil, and drainage.
Conceptual Designs: Sketches and/or 3D models for your vision.
Detailed Planting Plans: Strategic plant selection for beauty and function.
Hardscaping Elements: Patios, walkways, retaining walls, etc.

Do you offer 3D landscape design?

Yes. 3D visualization can be used to help clients understand the proposed outdoor space before construction.

Can you design a complete backyard?

Yes. A complete backyard plan can coordinate patios, planting, walkways, outdoor kitchens, fire features, pools, irrigation, lighting, fencing, and other elements.

Do you offer free landscape design consultations?

Yes. The first consultation at your property is free. We walk the yard, talk about your goals and explain the next steps.
