Your Holliston Landscaping Contractor
Professional landscaping in Holliston, MA includes custom landscape design, hardscaping, masonry, outdoor living features, and year-round property maintenance — all built for the town's rural-suburban character, wooded lots, and New England climate. D & M Landscape and Construction provides full-service landscaping and masonry for Holliston, backed by 35+ years in MetroWest.
Holliston sits at the quieter edge of MetroWest — larger lots, more tree cover, winding roads, and homeowners who value craftsmanship over flash. The properties here have real grading, established canopies, and outdoor spaces that deserve more than a basic mow-and-blow crew.
From our base in Framingham, we've been building in Holliston for decades. Patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, full landscape redesigns, and reliable maintenance for properties that need a crew that actually shows up.
Hardscape, Landscape & Outdoor Living
Retaining Walls, Stone Walls & Custom Masonry
Holliston's rolling terrain makes retaining walls one of our most-requested services here. Engineered with perforated drainage, crushed stone backfill, and geogrid reinforcement on taller walls — built to hold grade through decades of freeze-thaw cycles.
We also build decorative stone walls, sitting walls, pillars, and custom masonry for front entries, chimneys, and outdoor fireplaces. Our masons are on staff, not subcontracted.

Why Holliston Landscaping Needs Local Knowledge
Holliston isn't a typical suburb. The lots are bigger, the terrain is more varied, and the town has its own character. Your contractor needs to build for all of it.
Rural-Suburban Lots
Holliston properties are often 1 to 3+ acres with heavy tree cover, natural stone outcroppings, and real grade changes. Equipment access, tree protection, and large-scale grading are standard here.
Conservation Overlays
Properties near Lake Winthrop, Bogastow Brook, and conservation land fall under Holliston Conservation Commission jurisdiction. We plan around buffer zones from day one.
Rocky Glacial Soil
Holliston's soil is heavy with glacial till and boulders. Excavation for patios, walls, and drainage has to account for what's underground. We plan for it upfront.
Freeze-Thaw Built to Depth
Frost line runs 36 to 48 inches. Every patio base, wall footing, and drainage pipe goes below frost depth. That's non-negotiable for work that lasts in New England.
Small-Town Character
Holliston's classic New England architecture and winding roads give the town a distinct feel. Our hardscape and landscape design complements that character rather than fighting it.
Minutes From Our Base
Our Framingham headquarters is a short drive from every Holliston neighborhood. Crew logistics, response time, and material runs are as efficient as they get.
35+ Years of MetroWest Craftsmanship
We're based in Framingham and we've been building in Holliston since 1989. Same family, same standards, same crew showing up every time.

People Also Ask About Landscaping in Holliston
How much does landscaping cost in Holliston, MA?
Costs vary by scope. Ongoing maintenance packages start in the low thousands per season. Patio installations range from the mid-five figures depending on materials and size. Full property renovations with retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and landscape design can run into six figures. We provide a detailed proposal after the walkthrough.
Do I need a permit for landscaping in Holliston?
Basic planting and lawn care don't require permits. Retaining walls over 4 feet, work within Conservation Commission buffer zones near Lake Winthrop or wetlands, significant grading, and structures with gas lines may require approvals. We check requirements during planning.
Do you build outdoor kitchens in Holliston?
Yes. Holliston is one of the top MetroWest towns where we build outdoor kitchens — from grill islands to full chef's suites with fire features. We coordinate gas, electrical, and plumbing permitting as part of every kitchen project. See our outdoor kitchen page for details.
When is the best time to start a landscape project?
The active season runs April through November. Planning in late winter or early spring gets you on the schedule for the season you want. Holliston projects near conservation areas may need extra review time, so starting early helps.
How do you handle Holliston's rocky terrain?
Holliston's glacial till is heavy with boulders and ledge. We factor this into every excavation plan with extra time and equipment for rock removal. Patios and walls get built to proper depth regardless of what we encounter underground.
What should I look for when hiring a landscaper?
Verify Massachusetts HIC registration, liability insurance, and workers' comp. Ask for references from similar Holliston properties, a written proposal with scope and materials, and whether they use their own crews. For Holliston, ask about Conservation Commission experience.
Do you serve all of Holliston?
Yes — Holliston Center, East Holliston, Braggville, Metcalf, Lake Winthrop area, and every part of town. Our Framingham base is minutes away.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. D & M Landscape and Construction is fully licensed and insured for all landscape, hardscape, and masonry work across Massachusetts.
