Dardah Landscaping, Inc.

Read enough of Dardah Landscaping's reviews and one name does most of the work: Jose. He turns up in nearly every account — quoting a job on a same-day visit, talking a customer out of the more expensive mortar repair, laying out stone options against a budget. With his brother Rafael and a small crew, that is the business: a Framingham hardscaping and masonry outfit building patios, walkways, front steps and retaining walls, with landscape maintenance, concrete work and commercial snow plowing around the edges. Thirty-four written accounts run from 2020 to this spring, and the numbers barely move across platforms — 4.9 on Angi from 47 ratings with 96% at five stars, 5.0 on Google, 4.9 on Porch. The jobs repeat too. A July 2025 reviewer described swapping a degraded three-foot railroad-tie retaining wall for a stone wall matched to one already on the property, with options priced to a budget and work starting within days. In September 2024 a homeowner had them pour a hot-tub slab, lay a roughly 400-square-foot patio and run a walkway along the side of the house, and said the package came in under what other contractors had quoted for the patio alone. A Natick customer writing in 2024 hired them a second time for a Cape house patio, three years after they had repaired the first one. Two things to raise on the call. An October 2021 reviewer — the only rating below four in the whole run — said the response was quick but follow-up and communication afterward were poor, so agree up front on how you will get updates once work starts. And the Massachusetts trade licence number on their Angi profile is the company's own entry rather than something confirmed against the state, so ask to see it. If your project is stone — a bluestone patio, a paver walkway, brick steps that need repointing, a wall that is failing — this is squarely their work, and reviewers keep describing fair quotes and jobs finished on the day promised. A 2023 customer had them repair and sealcoat a driveway plus front stairs and walkway, and noted they kept in touch through rain delays. Angi lists Spanish alongside English. Get the scope and how changes are priced in writing, and confirm where they are actually based: directory listings put them in Framingham, while the address on file reads Milford.
