AA & B Landscaping & Irrigation works out of Revere and builds the heavy end of a yard: paver patios, stone walkways, retaining walls and the drainage underneath them. Its Google profile stands at 4.9 stars from 57 ratings, and the reviews behind it keep returning to one person, Wilfredo, who the company's own site says runs the jobs hands-on rather than handing them to a subcontractor.
The written record runs from 2021 to this summer and is unusually consistent. In a June 2026 review a homeowner said he "gave us the best price we found" on a gazebo build and kept them updated throughout. A November 2025 customer described a bigger job: excavating boulders, taking down dead trees and their root systems, then building a level, properly draining retaining wall while widening a two-car driveway to four. Irrigation and sod come up repeatedly too, including a 2023 job that followed years of failed do-it-yourself attempts and a last-minute request to repoint back stairs.
Two things recur often enough to be worth naming. Reviewers say the crew shows up early, works through and cleans up daily, including a 2021 customer on their third job with the company who noted the team finished promptly despite heavy rain. And several describe being talked out of spending: in a 2022 review a homeowner recounted being quoted roughly $2,500 for a small irrigation system and then told it was overkill, with a cheaper self-install suggested instead.
Before you call, pin down scope. The homepage says the company focuses exclusively on hardscaping — stone, paver and masonry work — while its About page describes full-service landscaping down to basic lawn care, so ask directly whether maintenance work is on the menu or only construction. The site says it is licensed and insured but publishes no numbers, so ask for the certificate of insurance before work starts.
This is the right call for a North Shore homeowner with a hardscape project — a patio, a wall, a walkway, an irrigation system — who wants the person quoting the job on site while it is built. The company lists Revere, Winthrop, Saugus, Lynn, Swampscott, Marblehead, Melrose, Medford, Lynnfield, Wakefield, Reading, Danvers and Peabody among the towns it covers.
