Highly, highly recommend! Working with Wollaston Development was an absolute delight. They took my tired-looking home and gave it a major glow-up: beautiful landscaping, a smart irrigation system, and a functional & stunning paver patio that's perfect for get-togethers or relaxing. They also applied white stucco, which turned out phenomenal and instantly modernized the exterior and made it feel charming. From the very first meeting to the final walkthrough, the team was friendly, communicative, and professional. Every crew member--whether planting shrubs, laying patio pavers, putting down sod, installing irrigation lines, or applying stucco--showed genuine care and impeccable attention to detail. If you're looking for top-notch landscaping, hardscaping, or a full exterior renovation, Wollaston Development is the crew you want on your side. They made the whole process easy, fun, and the results speak for themselves! read more

Thank you Mike and crew!! read more

Mike and his team did an awesome job for us. We compared many companies and many quotes and Mike was definitely the guy who most seemed willing to work with us on budget and still get us the finish we wanted. And they did not disappoint. All his guys are great; Hardworking, honest and pleasant to have on your property. Mike himself stopped by almost every day and always took time to talk through with me any changes or finishes. We had Wollaston do both hardscape: driveway and patio and the grass and plantings. When the job was finished almost every neighbor (and I few strangers on the street) stopped us to tell us how absolutely beautiful it is! read more

We worked closely with Mike and Wollaston to transform our unfinished back yard space into our dream space. Throughout the process, Mike listened to our hopes and ideas, proposed thoughtful and creative options, and helped us settle on great choices from the hard scaping down to the sod choice. Working with Mike was a top notch experience, with high attention to detail, constant touch points, excellent responsiveness, complete flexibility for minor adjustments along the way as we thought of new things, and complete transparency on costs. We even got to go shopping for plants together. Now, instead of a raw space, we have our own little universe custom fit to our needs. We wanted to keep the majority of the space as open grass, for young kids to play, but we also wanted spaces for dining and lounging and new spaces for planting, all in a modest-sized yard. With Mike's help, we landed on a beautiful natural cleft, full color bluestone for hardscaping that curves around the house to create a natural, unique feel, irrigation to minimize manual upkeep on the lawn, electrical outlet access exactly where we want it, and spaces carved out for a sectional outdoor couch and a new tree. When I look at it, I'm just extremely pleased and grateful to have this yard where we just had patchy grass before. Work was done in good time and on budget. As a bonus, all of the folks Wollaston brought in to help with the project were wonderful as well. We'll be calling Mike and Wollaston for future projects and recommending him to friends. read more

We had an excellent experience working with Wollaston. Wollaston installed three drywells, irrigation, garden beds, lawn, shrubs, tree, lighting, etc. We began working with Mike early on to develop and shape our landscaping ideas for our home. Mike made great recommendations, provided guidance on vegetation, and easily handled changes along the way. The entire Wollaston team was super professional. Mike called all around and even drove way out west to find our tree. Our yard looks amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Run away as fast as you can! My elderly father hired Michael Pallone of Wollaston Development to build a new retaining wall and repave our driveway. Mike took off with over $6,000 of our money. Unfortunately I trusted him. We had to take him to small claims court to get the money back. Don't EVER trust this man. Wollaston Development appears to be operating from this address: 14 Aquavia Rd Medford, MA 02155-1003 He may open another business with a different name or under his wife's name, Meredith McCormack Pallone. If you hear the name Pallone, run away. read more

Wollaston Development is the best landscaping and snow removal company that I have worked with in over eight years of condominium management. They have done an excellent job with my properties with snow removal, regular lawn maintenance, irrigation start ups, repairs, and installation, walkway rebuilds, and stonewall repairs. They have an excellent team that is very responsive, have a great attitude, knowledgeable, and know how to get the job done. Lynn T Woburn. read more

For the first two years, we were thrilled with the work that Wollaston Development did. In addition to lawn care services, we purchased several lilac bushes, arborvitae and rose bushes from Mike. Last summer the service completely fell apart. The lawn was NOT cut when we were told it was. The attention to detail from prior years was gone. The last straw was Mike wanting to make things right and then failing to call me at the time he suggested. Now that Spring is here, it's obvious that two of the four arborvitae are dead and it looks like none of the rose bushes survived. Sub par plants and as of last year sub par service.

Mike was phenomenal. Wollaston Development did three jobs for us: built a patio, installed a garden, and did a full clean up. Since they completed the work (on time and for a very reasonable price), we have enjoyed our backyard sooo much more! They do terrific work, always very professional, and pay great attention to the little things that make all the difference. There was one issue we had with part of the garden install, and Mike was terrific about making sure we were 100% satisfied--and we are! I can't say enough great things about Mike and the company. read more

We hired Mike from Wollaston Development to build a patio; we gave him a $5K deposit but then cancelled the job because it delayed numerous times and the communication from Mike was non-existent. Mike cheerfully agreed to refund the money, but then only gave back half. He told us that he never received the material, but then subsequently had a story about having to sell the material. I have numerous emails agreeing to the refund, establishing dates for repayment, promising to return the money, but all lies. Very unethical - do not use Wollaston Development. read more
