Landscaping & Masonry Services in Wayland, MA
Patios, walkways, stone walls, outdoor kitchens, and full-service landscape design for Wayland homeowners — built by a family-owned MetroWest team with over 35 years of craftsmanship.
The MetroWest Crew Wayland Homeowners Call for the Work That Matters
Wayland sits at the heart of MetroWest — mature tree canopy, larger lots, classic New England architecture, and homeowners who care about getting things done right the first time. That's exactly the work we specialize in.
D & M Landscape and Construction has been building patios, walkways, stone walls, outdoor kitchens, and full landscape designs across MetroWest since 1989. From our base in Framingham, we serve Wayland and the surrounding towns with the same hands-on approach that has kept us family-owned and operated for over 35 years: show up when we say we will, do the work properly, stand behind it afterward.
Whether you're planning a new paver patio, a retaining wall to solve a grade issue, a fire feature for your backyard, or a complete front-yard redesign, our crew handles every phase under one roof — from the initial walkthrough to the final clean-up.

Landscape Work Designed for MetroWest Homes
Every town in MetroWest has its own character. Wayland's properties come with their own set of conditions — and we've been working through them for decades.
Mature Tree Canopy
Wayland's established tree canopy is beautiful — and complicates everything from grading to patio layout to planting. We design around root systems, shade patterns, and canopy drip lines instead of fighting them.
Larger Properties, Real Grading
Wayland lots tend to be larger with more elevation change than denser MetroWest towns. That means proper drainage, well-engineered retaining walls, and thoughtful transitions between levels matter.
Classic New England Character
Wayland has a strong architectural identity — colonials, capes, older farmhouse-style homes. Our hardscape and stonework is designed to complement that character, not fight against it.
Freeze-Thaw That Wrecks Bad Work
New England winters separate real craftsmanship from cut corners. We install patios, walkways, and walls with the base prep and drainage they need to survive 20+ years of frost cycles.
Glacial Till Soil
The rocky, clay-heavy soil across much of Wayland affects drainage, plant selection, and how hardscape has to be built. We plan for it up front so there are no surprises mid-project.
High-Standards Clientele
Wayland homeowners expect the work to match the investment. That's how we've always worked — we're not the cheapest option, and we're not trying to be. We're the one you call when it has to be done right.

We walk the finished project with you, address anything that needs adjusting, and stand behind the work with our guarantee.

Thorough seasonal cleanups to get your property ready for the growing season or buttoned up for winter. Leaves, debris, bed prep, and pruning all handled.

Common Questions from Wayland Homeowners
Do you serve all of Wayland?
Yes. We're based in Framingham and serve Wayland and the surrounding MetroWest towns. Whether you're on the Sudbury River side of town, near Cochituate, or anywhere in between, we can get a crew out for a walkthrough and consultation.
What types of landscaping projects do you handle in Wayland?
Most of our Wayland work falls into hardscape and outdoor living — paver patios and walkways, stone and retaining walls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and masonry. We also handle full landscape design, grading, drainage work, and ongoing landscape maintenance. If it involves the exterior of your property, we can help.
How long does a typical patio or hardscape project take?
A straightforward paver patio typically takes one to two weeks, depending on size, excavation requirements, and drainage work. Larger projects with multiple features — patios plus retaining walls plus outdoor kitchens, for example — can run three to six weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the consultation so you know what to expect.
Do I need a permit for landscape work in Wayland?
Most cosmetic landscaping, patio work, and garden installations don't require permits in Wayland. However, retaining walls above a certain height, grading that affects drainage, structures like pergolas, and anything near wetlands or conservation areas may need permits or approvals. We review permit requirements as part of the planning process so nothing gets missed.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. D & M Landscape and Construction is fully licensed and insured for the work we do across MetroWest. We can provide documentation during the consultation.
What's the best time of year to start a landscape project in Wayland?
Spring through fall is the active season for hardscape and planting in Massachusetts, roughly April through November depending on weather. Early planning — calling in winter or early spring — usually gets you on the schedule for the season you want. Waiting until June for a summer project means you're likely looking at fall or the following year. The sooner you start the conversation, the more options you have.
Do you offer landscape maintenance in addition to installation?
Yes. We offer ongoing landscape maintenance packages — Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels — covering everything from weekly lawn care to seasonal cleanups, mulching, and bed maintenance. Many Wayland clients use us for both the initial build and ongoing care.
Do you provide free consultations?
Yes. The initial on-site walkthrough and consultation is free and no-pressure. We'll look at your property, listen to what you want to accomplish, and put together a plan and proposal. You decide from there.
