We engaged Bruce and the Done Right team for a couple of projects at our house - first, landscaping help with our overgrown bushes/weeds and re-seeding grass. Then, he helped us fix an issue where water was leaking into our garage from the side of the house. He proposed a landscaping solution that would prevent water from getting to the garage. See the attached before and after photos for that project. His solution seems to be working! Finally, we also asked him to help pressure wash our backyard patio and the entire house, which had no upkeep for 5 years. His team also has done fall leaves clean up for us two years in a row. With all of these projects, I really can only think of one phrase to describe the work - it's done right. Their name says it all. We actually came across Bruce after our neighbors redid their backyard lawn and we kept complimenting how amazing it looked. They then referred us to Bruce, and now here we are referring Bruce ourselves. Can't recommend Bruce and the Done Right team enough for their expertise and their ability to reliably get work done right.

Bruce did an amazing job on our front yard. He and his landscapers were very professional and courteous. Bruce had great vision for our front yard and took the time to listen to things I like and didn't like and adjusted his plan accordingly. He sent pictures of the plants he intended to use and also brought more variations on the day of the work for me to choose from. It was amazing! He checked in frequently during the job to make sure I was happy with how things were going! I would highly recommend him and his company!

I called Done Right Landscape mainly because I see their signs and work everywhere and I know of their great reputation and unique low maintenance landscape designs.

After calling, they scheduled me in for an estimate right away and after meeting with Bruce Aleo ( Owner) I clearly knew that this was the company I wanted to work with. Bruce is very passionate about landscaping and was extremely knowledgeable in plant and tree selection, the placement of where things should go and he came up with a new landscape design plan that would be colorful and vibrant all season long and easy to maintain.

Once the work was booked he followed through with everything as promised. His workers were amazing, very professional and hard working and so polite and respectful. They finished the whole project within 5 days and I couldn't be happier.

It's been 4 months since they finished and cars are still stopping in front of my house and and steering at the masterpiece Bruce created, all the neighbors came over to say how beautiful my landscaping is and I refer Done Right Landscape to everyone!

You know you hired the right guys when a neighbor calls to complement the job they did on your front yard. I first called Done Right just to haul out some yard waste, but Bruce was so easy to work with, I asked him to take a shot at the neglected trees and shrubs in the front yard. I'm glad I did. The property looks great now, and he fixed some bad pruning decisions I had made the previous year. Happy neighbors and tenants makes these guys easy to recommend.

For anyone needing landscape & construction services, Done Right Landscape is exceptional! Thanks to Bruce Aleo's knowledge, decades of hands on experience, wise and creative design ideas, Done Right Landscape gave curb appeal in a huge way to a house going on the market. After renovation contractors left a sea of shattered glass all over the back yard from construction debris, Done Right Landscape cleaned it up! During my walkthrough with Bruce Aleo after the glass cleanup, he spotted 3 minuscule pieces of glass, and picked them up by hand. He is a perfectionist and he goes above and beyond to make sure that every aspect of the work done by his team is done to his high standards. His attention to detail is a marvel and his work ethic ( which extends to his team) is unmatched. He suggested putting in a new stone path to the front door, and his team removed the old, cracked asphalt. The new, beautiful stone path and curved planting beds in the front of the house turned a nice house into a fairytale home that has style and elegance. There had been a large pipe sticking out of the ground on the property that used to support a satellite dish. Done Right cut it off beneath the ground and pounded down its rough edges before covering it over with turf. Looking now, I can't even tell where that pipe had been. They did not charge me anything to remove that pipe. They also put extra soil in some uneven areas in the backyard, and tamped it down. Oh, and they did such a great job limbing up the trees in the yard to bring more light and space to the property. Bruce pointed out some branches that were rubbing against the roof, and those branches were promptly removed. There was an ugly chain link fence and Bruce suggested painting it black. They did, and it made a world of difference! The yard looked so much better! The name of the company-- Done Right Landscape--suits perfectly, because they will do the job right the first time. They are absolutely dependable. I needed this work done quickly, and from start to finish, Done Right landscaping had everything done in 4 days! Hiring Done Right Landscape was totally worth it, and I will be using their services again to beautify another property. Highly Recommend!

Bruce Aleo is a very creative landscape architect who designed a beautiful front yard and back yard for my house. He took into account my functional requests and then he created a gorgeous design around the needs. His team at Done Right Landscaping then did a great job of building and planting it.
He has also done very thorough jobs of fall cleanup, winterization, and bush/tree trimming.
I can highly recommend Bruce for all your landscaping needs.

I highly recommend giving Bruce a call and having him look over your property as he did mine. He made great suggestions and arranged for his crack team to come by and within a few hours they had transformed my front lawn and garden.

I spoke with Bruce yesterday afternoon and his crew was here the next day at the exact time he thought he could make it for our fall clean up. He was very clear on his expectations (seemed like he didn't wan't to over promise anything, which I greatly appreciate) but his crew exceeded our expectations for everything. Professional, on time and fast! If we weren't planning to move I'd try to lock in a reoccurring service. Thanks guys!

I highly recommend Bruce and team at Done Right Landscape. I wanted a chain link fence removed from my property replaced with a 6 foot vinyl privacy fence as well as some additional fencing and a gate to fully close off my yard. I got 3 estimates from local companies and decided to go with Bruce and I'm very happy with my decision. From the moment he showed up at my house for the estimate you can tell that he is very passionate and knowledgeable about what he does. He brings his tablet so he can give you a estimate on the spot and he took the time to go over different options and show me pictures/examples of things he's done for other customers. I decided to go with his company and his time estimate was 3-4 weeks due to COVID material supply backlogs (which was actually at least 2-4 weeks sooner than the other estimates I got). His timing was accurate and he started my fence within 4 weeks. Him and his crew got this project done in under 2 days, staying until 6-7 pm to make sure I'd have my fenced in yard by the weekend. The fence came out beautiful (see pics) and I've already gotten compliments from anyone who comes by.

Bruce takes great pride in his quality of work and goes the extra mile for his customers. One example: he put down loam under my new fence to fill some gaps. He told me make sure you seed and fertilize that so the grass can grow. I started to ask questions about what to buy (because I am new to this) and he said actually don't worry about it, I'll come back tomorrow (a Saturday) and will seed and fertilize it for you. Sure thing, I look out my window the next morning to see not only had he put down seed and fertilizer, he was out there watering it with the hose. That is the type of extra service that is never expected but always appreciated.

I found Bruce to be professional, responsive, and a perfectionist every step of the way... all important qualities in someone doing work on your home. I definitely recommend Done Right Landscape and will use them again in the future.

The best review that I can possibly give Done Right Landscape is the finished product was far superior than anything we could of ever imagined.

The quality of the installI with the products used and the design exceeded all of our expectations.
The total projects were finished ahead of schedule and on budget as in the detailed estimate. They've added value and curb appeal to our property that is eye catching!

Bruce is very passionate and extremely creative and an absolute true professional!

Best Experience ever working with a contractor!

I am so impressed by Done Right. It is the perfect name to describe the owner Bruce's passion, quality, consideration, and friendliness. If you are considering any landscaping projects you want to call Bruce. I am so happy I did.

My wife and I take regular walks and hikes throughout most of Middlesex and couldn't help but notice over the years the many properties with immaculate landscaping and design by Done Right.

I have used landscapers over the years and quite honestly have become frustrated with the service and cost. As much as I like taking care of my own lawn, I know my limits. It's like coaching soccer when the children were young. You may only go so far before you need somebody who does it for a living.

I wanted to aerate my lawn and decided that this may be an opportunity to meet Done Right. I called on a late afternoon last Friday and reached Bruce. I had never met him. When I told Bruce what I was looking for and asked him if he would consider that small job he immediately said of course. He asked where I lived and when I told him near the Stoneham/Wakefield line he said that he was actually going to be in that area quoting a hardscape project and could stop by and take a look. How is that for a quick turnaround.

Bruce came by early evening and I was immediately impressed on how friendly, kind, and outgoing he is. I appreciated how he took a careful walk throughout the property and how he notices every single detail! He never once tried to push any other services on me although it is clear he loves his work and loves to talk about how he travels throughout the world for real ideas, designs, and how to properly upkeep and maintain.

When I asked how soon he could do the aeration since I wanted to overseed he said he'll do it Monday or 'Tuesday if I wanted. He knew it was important to me to have it done soon and he wanted to take care of us.

Well there he was with his crew today, Monday. I quickly saw that their equipment isn't what you rent at Home Depot, It's the real thing. As they aerated, Bruce starting using a cultivator to prepare certain damaged parts of my lawn for seen. I felt bad that they were just supposed to aerate and here him and his team are also going along the edges making sure everything was Done Right. Bruce also noticed that our Red Bud tree had several branches touching the house. He was begging me to let them prune it at no cost! That's the way he is. He truly is passionate.

I could write much more. I'm so glad I met Bruce and part of his team. It all makes sense now when I see those beautiful projects he has designed and completed.

Special thanks to Done Right!

Bruce and his amazing team have completely renovated our front and backyard to give us the yard we always dreamed of. Bruce's work speaks for itself and everyone who visits our home is blown away by the creative design and usefulness of space he gave us.

Bruce at Done Right is awesome! Every time I called him he either answered or called me right back. I have a very difficult yard to manage and Bruce gave me his ideas to make it a great place for entertaining with little maintenance. We started the first phase by building a wall which exceeded my expectations and really opened up my yard. He got the job done in a timely manner and made sure everything was perfectly cleaned up when he was done. He went above and beyond and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs some outdoor work and/or guidance.

Done Right Landscape & Construction workmanship is second to none!

We were so impressed with dealing with Bruce from our initial meeting and it wasn't hard to make our decision. Done Right's staff were diligent, astute and we're very neat throughout the entire process. They were attentive, flexible and extremely hard working. Always making sure that we were comfortable and well informed during the entire project!

Bruce turned our backyard into a 5-Star Resort that we will enjoy for many years to come. The hardscape around the pool that Bruce recommended has not only added value to our home but also gave us so much more outdoor living space then we could've imagined possible to give us an entirely different feel.
He also installed a custom gas fire-pit with a circular patio and free standing bench wall with a bluestone coping.

We've already recommended them to everyone who's seen our backyard because the first question they say after seeing it is, WOW. Who did this amazing job?

My landscaping had simply gone wild! Weeds had taken over and choked out many perennials. The soil was depleted of nutrients. I had removed a vegetable garden and needed to tie that space into the existing perennial beds. I had a vision and kept trying to do everything myself. It took a while to realize that I needed help. I researched many local landscaping companies and chose Done Right Landscaping based on the excellent reviews of many others. When I called, I was asked what kind of help I needed. I suggested sending lots of elves with lots pixie dust.

While I'm pretty sure they weren't elves, Bruce's team did a fantastic job of bringing my landscaping back under control. They removed many overgrown shrubs, pruned others to bring them back to their beauty, weeded (no small feat!) and edged garden beds, amended the soil with new loam, applied mulch, and even repaired a stone pathway I had installed.

The company name says it all... Done Right Landscaping!

We have used Done Right landscape on several occasions for a number of projects from large scale to small for over 10 years and we've always been impressed at the results of how quick they return our phone calls and how they always get the job done fast and Done Right!

We referred them to our neighbor who had the same positive results and still thanks us till this day.

I highly recommend Done Right to everyone seeking a true professional!

When it comes to our seasonal maintenance including spring and fall cleanups our first choice is always Done Right Landscape! We have a ton of leaves due to the many trees we have around our home and we also live on a corner lot so we catch all the neighbors leaves and debris.

Done Right always shows up on time and the crew are always so hardworking and they do a phenomenal job including cleaning out our gutters. They also trim all the hedges and prune back all shrubs and trees. I can't say enough good things about my many experiences of working with them for the past several years.

I've been working with Bruce at Done Right Landscape for the past seven years on several projects from small to large scale and around my entire property and the work is always first rate,.

My back yard looks like a postcard and is picture prefect. I'm a senior citizen and Bruce came up with a low maintenance design that I don't have to worry about any longer. He installed synthetic turf in my backyard with stone scraping and beautiful dwarf flowering trees and colorful perennial plants. All my neighbors are blown away with the dramatic transformation.

Done Right Landscape is the way to go!
I had quite a large project and looked around at several companies to find the best fit for me. My search led me to Bruce Aleo of Done Right Landscape & Construction company of Wakefield, MA

He answered all my questions and made several excellent suggestions that would work best for the projects I had in mind. He also returned all my calls promptly when I had additional questions. Bruce is a true professional who clearly takes great pride in his work. The projects were done in a timely manner and at the end of each day his crew left me property spotless as if they weren't even there.

Thanks to Done Right Landscape I now have two beautiful Nicolock Paver walkways and a patio to enjoy for years to come.

The company name speaks for itself!

I Highly Recommend Done Right to everyone!
