Macauley Brothers Inc

Macauley Brothers says it's been building patios, retaining walls, and stone walkways on the South Shore since 1986, and LinkedIn lists Bernie Macauley as the company's president. The self-reported focus is hardscape: the site advertises certification in high-strength concrete paver and retaining-wall installation, alongside landscape design and property management for residential and commercial clients based out of Weymouth. The most recent jobs on record back that up. One homeowner had a retaining wall, granite front steps, a granite walkway, two granite lampposts, and a granite sign post installed in under a week, and said the quote was the lowest of several they collected. Another, on a repeat job, listed prior paver walkways and a patio alongside a spring cleanup of weeding, aeration, and fresh mulch. A third customer, back for a second project, called the crew accommodating. Zoom out and the pattern holds across five years: 252 Angi reviews average 4.9 stars with an Angi-Approved badge and a Super Service Award every year from 2014 through 2025, and Google adds 4.8 stars from 20 more ratings. Across the 26 reviews collected here since 2021, none are negative, reviewers name Bernie and foreman Gus directly, and the praise clusters around on-time crews, fair pricing, and cleanup crews that re-seed lawns torn up by equipment. There's not much else to flag. Angi's own business-highlights badge puts the company at 46 years of experience, which doesn't line up with the 1986 founding date stated on its own site and elsewhere, worth a quick question if the company's exact history matters to you. Beyond hardscape and seasonal maintenance, Bernie Macauley's LinkedIn also lists fence installation and drainage work among his skills, though that's thinner ground than the patio and retaining-wall work the reviews actually describe. For a hardscape project, a patio, a retaining wall, a stone walkway, or a standing landscape-maintenance contract, this is a crew with a long, consistent track record on exactly that kind of work and no visible complaints weighing against it. Worth asking for an itemized quote up front, the way the granite-steps customer did, and confirming which of Bernie's other listed skills he'd actually take on for your job.
