Caruso Landscape Design

Caruso Landscape Design is a Braintree, MA outfit built around one thing: high-end hardscape and landscape construction — stone patios, retaining walls, pool patios — for South Shore, Cape and Islands, and Greater Boston homeowners. The company describes itself on its own site as a boutique design-build firm founded and run by Paul Caruso, a Stockbridge School of Agriculture graduate, with roots going back more than two decades; the Better Business Bureau's file, which carries an A+ rating, dates the business to 2000, and a separate business-data listing puts it at 2002 — either way, this isn't a new operation. Its Google page carries just one review, posted in June 2026, from a client working alongside Paul's team on an active project: extremely communicative and on top of it, they said, doing whatever was needed to keep the job moving. It's a specific, credible vote of confidence, but it's also the only customer account online — the other landscaping directories carrying its listing, including unilocal and openingtimes.co, show no posted reviews at all. That thin online trail is the one thing worth asking about before booking. With two-plus decades in business and an A+, non-accredited BBB file behind it, Caruso reads as legitimate and established, but a homeowner won't find much of a public track record to lean on. Ask for recent references and photos of comparable hardscape or pool-patio work directly before committing.
