Landscaper in Westwood, MA
Design-build landscaping, hardscape, masonry and outdoor living for Westwood (~16,300) — from the Inova hub in Wellesley.
Westwood is about 15 to 20 minutes south of Wellesley via Rte 128/I-95, close enough that we can turn around a same-week estimate for homeowners looking to modernize an outdoor space that hasn't been touched since the house was built. As the landscaper in Westwood, MA for backyard overhauls, that's the project we see most often here.
Westwood's housing stock is heavy on mid-century colonials — many built in the 1960s during the town's biggest growth wave — and those original backyards were rarely designed for the kind of outdoor entertaining homeowners want today.
Searching for a landscaper in Westwood, MA to finally redo a backyard that hasn't changed since the house was built? That's the majority of our work in this town — full outdoor-living overhauls on 1960s colonials, not small patch jobs.

1960s Colonials Ready for an Outdoor Living Upgrade
A typical Westwood backyard from this era has a small concrete patio slab, a chain-link or no fence at all, and foundation plantings that have either overgrown the windows or died out entirely. These homes are structurally solid and well-loved, but the outdoor space almost never matches how families actually want to use their yard now — grilling, entertaining, a fire feature, real privacy from neighbors.
We treat these as full outdoor-living overhauls rather than patchwork fixes: tearing out undersized concrete, regrading, and building a paver patio or outdoor living space scaled to the lot, paired with plantings that finally complement the house instead of hiding it.
Westwood's 02090 ZIP covers a town split between the more established neighborhoods near Westwood Town Common and High Street, and the Islington village side of town near the Rte 128 and Rte 109 interchange, where University Station's newer transit-oriented development has brought denser housing into what was previously a quieter rail-line neighborhood. The older colonial lots tend to sit on straightforward glacial till, while properties nearer Purgatory Brook occasionally deal with seasonal wetness worth checking before a full regrade.
Hale Reservation to Islington Center: Local Proof
Near Hale Reservation, we replaced a cracked, undersized concrete patio behind a 1960s colonial with a full paver patio and small outdoor kitchen, regrading the yard so the new hardscape drained properly toward the back property line instead of pooling near the original slab's low point. Closer to Islington Center, an overgrown foundation planting bed was cleared and replanted, opening the front of the house back up while a new privacy fence gave the backyard usable outdoor space for the first time in decades.
University Station-area properties near the commuter rail bring smaller lots into the mix, where we focus outdoor-living overhauls on efficient use of space — a patio and fence combination that maximizes what's usable without crowding the yard.
On a High Street colonial, the original 1962 concrete patio had cracked into three separate slabs that had each settled at a slightly different angle — the homeowners had been leveling patio furniture with shims for years. We demoed the whole thing, corrected the grade, and built a paver patio on a proper compacted base that finally sits flat and drains toward the yard's back corner instead of the house.
Westwood families keep choosing us for these overhauls because we're honest that a tired 1960s backyard usually needs more than a new patio dropped on top of the old slab — the grading and drainage underneath almost always need fixing too, and skipping that step is the reason so many DIY patio projects in this town crack or settle within a few years.
