Contrast Landscape provides outdoor living and construction services for homes and businesses in Southeastern MA. From patios and decks to pergolas and outdoor kitchens, we build it all to last.

We design and build outdoor living environments for both residential and commercial clients, with the same attention to detail, quality materials, and project management on every job.
Your backyard should be somewhere you actually want to spend time. We build custom pools, patios, decks, pergolas, fences, outdoor kitchens, and fire features that turn underused yards into your favorite room of the house. Every project starts with a 3D design so you see exactly what you're getting before construction begins.
Outdoor amenities attract tenants, retain guests, and set your property apart from the competition.
Browse completed pools, patios, decks, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens from recent projects. Every photo is our own work, no stock images, no borrowed portfolios. What you see here is exactly the quality of craftsmanship you can expect on your property.
From backyard retreats to commercial amenity spaces, every outdoor living project we take on is designed, planned, and built by our in-house team. Explore the services included in each category below to see exactly what goes into your project and how each element is constructed.
Homeowners planning backyard renovations, pool installations, deck replacements, or complete outdoor transformations
Every project starts with a free on-site consultation where we walk your property, discuss your goals, and outline realistic options. You get professional guidance before committing a single dollar.
From excavation and masonry to planting and irrigation, we handle every phase of your outdoor project in-house. One company means one vision, one timeline, and one point of responsibility.
Our own crew handles your project from the first visit to the final walkthrough, with one point of contact throughout.
Discuss your project, review the proposed scope and plan the next steps with our team.
It starts with a phone call or form submission where you tell us about your property, your goals, and your budget range. We will confirm we are a good fit and schedule an on-site visit to assess your space in person. During the site visit, we take measurements, evaluate soil conditions, check drainage patterns, note utility locations, and discuss your ideas face to face. This is a no-pressure conversation, whether you are ready to start this season or just exploring what is possible.
Using site measurements and your input, we create a realistic 3D rendering of your project. You will see the finished space from multiple angles, experiment with materials and layout options, and make changes on screen instead of in the field. Alongside the design, you receive a detailed proposal with line-by-line pricing, materials specified by name, and a projected timeline. No vague estimates or surprise add-ons. You know exactly what is included and what the investment will be before you commit.
Once you approve the design and sign the agreement, we handle all permit applications, engineering submissions, and municipal approvals. In Massachusetts, outdoor living projects often require building permits, electrical permits, plumbing permits, and sometimes Conservation Commission or Board of Health review. We manage the entire process so you never have to visit town hall or chase down inspectors. Your project is scheduled with a firm start date and milestone timeline.
Your dedicated project manager oversees construction from day one. Site preparation begins with excavation, grading, and underground utilities, followed by the structural build and finishing details. You receive regular progress updates and have a direct line to your project manager for questions at any stage. We coordinate all trades internally, so there is one schedule and one team responsible for the outcome. If anything unexpected comes up, we discuss it with you immediately and get written approval before proceeding.
When construction is complete, we walk the finished space with you to verify every detail matches the approved design. We demonstrate equipment operation for pools, outdoor kitchens, lighting systems, and fire features so you know exactly how everything works. Final landscaping, grading, and cleanup are completed before we consider the project done.
Whether you are a homeowner planning a backyard renovation or a property manager upgrading your amenity package, it all starts with a conversation and a 3D design.
Working with Contrast Landscaping was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. My experience with Henrique and the entire Contrast team was seamless; they were professional, communicative, and truly cared about bringing my vision to life. They allowed me to be flexible and thoughtful as we crafted the vision together. After our new construction in Cohasset, the property needed full restoration and grading, and Contrast transformed it beautifully. They handled every detail with precision and pride, turning a raw construction site into a finished, cohesive landscape that perfectly complements our home. The quality of their work, timeliness, and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. Henrique guided the process with expertise and genuine care, making everything easy and enjoyable. I’m beyond pleased with the final result and would highly recommend Contrast Landscaping to anyone looking for exceptional craftsmanship and a team that truly stands behind their work.
Contrast Landscape is absolutely outstanding! Henrique and his team are professional, creative, and pay attention to every detail. They took my ideas, added their expert touch, and delivered a result that far exceeded my expectations. The workmanship is top quality, and everything was done on time. My yard looks incredible—truly transformed! I highly recommend Henrique and Contrast Landscape to anyone who wants their outdoor space done right.
Henrique and his team did incredible work at our new home. He does the best work around at amazing prices and is FAST! This is the second patio that he has done for us and we've recommended him to everyone we know. Highly recommend contacting Contrast Landscape for any outdoor needs! Our patio was completed within two days and looks incredible. Once the lawn gets seeded and the rocks are swept up, it's going to look even more amazing.

Read All Client ReviewsPlanning an outdoor living project raises a lot of questions, especially if this is your first time working with a contractor on something this significant. We have grouped the most common questions by topic so you can find the answers that matter most to your situation.
Timeline depends on the complexity of your project. A straightforward patio or walkway might take one to two weeks, while a comprehensive outdoor living space with multiple features can take four to eight weeks from groundbreaking to completion. Weather and permit timelines can also affect scheduling, but we keep you informed at every stage.
In New England, the ideal construction window runs from late spring through early fall when ground conditions are most favorable. However, planning and design work can happen any time of year. Starting the design process in winter means your project is ready to break ground as soon as conditions allow, giving you the full summer to enjoy your new space.
Most outdoor living projects require some form of permit, especially structures like pergolas, outdoor kitchens with gas or electrical connections, and features near property lines. We handle the entire permitting process on your behalf, including drawings, applications, and inspections. You never have to visit town hall or chase paperwork.
Material selection depends on your design goals, budget, and maintenance preferences. Natural stone offers timeless beauty and unique character. Porcelain pavers provide a modern look with exceptional durability and stain resistance. Concrete pavers deliver excellent value with a wide range of colors and patterns. During your consultation, we present samples and explain the pros and cons of each option for your specific project.
We work both ways. If you have existing plans from a landscape architect or designer, we can review them for constructability and provide a build estimate. If you are starting with just ideas and inspiration photos, our design team will create a custom plan tailored to your property and preferences. Either approach results in a detailed project plan before construction begins.
Protecting your existing property is a priority from day one. We establish clear access paths, use plywood tracking over lawns to prevent compaction, install temporary fencing around gardens and delicate plantings, and stage materials in designated areas. At the end of each work day, the site is cleaned and secured. When the project wraps, we restore any areas affected by construction so your yard looks better than when we arrived.
Yes, we install wood and composite fencing for privacy, property definition, pet containment, and curb appeal. Options include solid board, board-on-board for improved wind resistance, shadow box styles that provide screening while allowing airflow, picket fences, and split-rail fencing. Every fence installation starts with posts set at proper depth in concrete footings to resist frost heaving, the single most important factor in fence longevity in New England. We coordinate fence placement with your overall outdoor living design so the layout, materials, and style work together as a cohesive property plan.
