Design-build outdoor spaces planned around your home, your lot, and how you actually use the yard.
JRD Landscape Design is a design-build firm building cohesive outdoor environments for homeowners across the South Shore of Massachusetts. From custom patios and stone walkways to retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, firepits, and full outdoor living spaces, we serve properties in Weymouth, Hingham, Norwell, Scituate, Hanover, Marshfield, and surrounding South Shore towns.
Every project starts with how the home connects to the yard. Grading, drainage, materials, and layout all get planned up front, and the same team handles every phase from initial plan through final install. That continuity is what makes a South Shore landscape design hold up through Massachusetts winters.
Every JRD project gets planned and built to fit the home, the lot, and the way the family uses the yard. Here are a few recent outdoor builds from across the South Shore.
A full backyard design featuring a custom patio, retaining wall, fire feature, and integrated plantings, planned and built by JRD for a home on the South Shore.
A multi-tier retaining wall, stone steps, and patio designed to handle the grade and create usable outdoor space on a sloped property.
A built-in outdoor kitchen with surrounding patio, lounge seating, and a fire feature designed for year-round entertaining.
JRD’s reputation across the South Shore is built on consistent design, clear communication, and finished spaces that hold up year after year.
Jose and team did an amazing job on a large backyard project. They build a 200 ft wall that is sound and looks amazing. Once my pool was installed they finished all the landscaping work. I found Jose and his crew a pleasure to work with. He is a very good communicator, follows through in a timely manner, collaborated with me throughout the process and treated my backyard as if it were his own. I would 100% hire JRD again for any project I have.
I have used JRD Landscape Design for several years. From tree removal to a beautiful backyard patio install, I was so extremely impressed that I felt compelled to write a rewarding review. After being so impressed with Jose’s competitive and more than fair pricing and workmanship, I shared my positive experiences with my neighbors and relatives. They also benefited by hiring Jose and his crew for similar projects. I strongly and confidently recommend JRD Landscape Design for both tree removal and patio landscaping.
I can’t recommend JRD Landscape Deisgn enough! When I searched for Landscapers, 50% never returned my calls. And 50% of the ones that did ghosted me and never showed up for their appointment! Jose is the most reliable contractor I’ve come across. He responds promptly, shows up when he says he will, and his prices are good! And because of that, he’s always the first one I call now.
JRD Landscape Design has built a reputation across the South Shore for cohesive outdoor spaces that hold up year after year. Every South Shore landscape design project follows the same design-build approach, with one team handling planning, build, and finishing from start to finish.
Design-build landscape design means the same team plans your project and installs it. Instead of hiring a designer and then handing the plans to a separate contractor, you work with one company from the property walk-through through final touch-ups. The design stays intact through the build, and small adjustments get handled on-site without restarting the planning process.
JRD Landscape Design serves homeowners across the South Shore of Massachusetts, including Weymouth, Hingham, Norwell, Scituate, Hanover, Marshfield, Duxbury, Cohasset, Milton, and surrounding towns.

A landscape design plan typically includes the property layout, hardscape locations, plant selections, lighting placement, and material specifications, all mapped to scale. JRD’s plans also account for grading, drainage, and how each feature connects to the rest of the property. The plan becomes the working document for the build phase, which is why getting the design right up front matters more than any single material or feature choice.
Landscape architects are state-licensed professionals typically trained for large-scale or commercial design, while landscape designers focus on residential outdoor spaces, blending layout, plant selection, hardscape, and lighting into cohesive plans. JRD Landscape Design works as a residential design-build firm across the South Shore, which means the same team handles both the design plan and the build itself.
The first consultation is an on-site property walk where we look at the home, the yard, the grade, and how you want to use the space. There is no charge for the initial visit, and you leave with an early sense of what is possible, a general timeline, and the next steps in the design process. From there, JRD prepares a custom plan tailored to your property and budget.
Every great outdoor space starts with a clear plan and a team that knows how to build what they design. If you are ready to start the conversation, we are here to walk through your property, your goals, and the right path forward.
