Built for Homeowners and Businesses with Landscaping and Hardscape Solutions That Last
Healthier Landscaping
Stronger Curb Appeal
Lasting Results
Maybe you notice the bare patches spreading across the lawn, the overgrown beds swallowing your walkways, or the drainage pooling along your foundation every time it rains. What started as a small eyesore becomes a bigger headache every month you ignore it.
The longer you wait, the more expensive and time-consuming the fix becomes. Property value drops. Curb appeal fades. And the weekends you should be enjoying your yard turn into hours fighting problems that never seem to stay solved.
D.S. Landscaping & Construction transforms outdoor spaces into landscapes that work beautifully year after year for Essex County, MA families and businesses. With hands-on expertise across every detail, from grading and drainage to stonework and planting, we deliver results you can see and trust.
Our crew knows the soil, the weather, and the work. We handle irrigation systems that run efficiently, retaining walls that hold firm through freeze-thaw cycles, paver patios that stay level, and lawns that come back thick every spring. Every project starts with a clear plan and ends with a space that looks sharp and performs.
D.S. Landscaping & Construction is family-owned, shows up on time, and stands behind every install. Your property is in the right hands, and the results speak for themselves.
We craft custom outdoor spaces with strategic plantings, grading, and layout that make sense for how you actually use your yard.
Mowing, edging, aeration, and seasonal treatments keep your lawn thick, green, and weed-free without the weekend hassle.
Fresh hardwood mulch at the right depth controls weeds, locks in moisture, and gives beds a clean finished look.
Safe removal, pruning, and stump grinding handled by experienced crews with the right equipment and liability coverage.
Hardscape features and natural plantings built to hold up season after season without constant repairs or upkeep.
Well-planned grading, retaining walls, and walkways unlock yard space you couldn't use before.
Low-maintenance designs and seasonal cleanup services keep your property looking sharp without taking over your free time.
They handled our drainage mess after two spring storms flooded the back corner. Dug a channel, reset the grade, and put down new stone. No water issues since, and they cleaned up every tool before they left.

Our front steps were sinking on one side for years. They pulled everything, redid the base with compacted stone, and rebuilt the bluestone treads. Solid now, looks better than when the house was built.

Most patio and walkway installations finish in three to five days. Timeline depends on size, complexity, and base preparation required for your site.
