After careful consideration we chose Braley and Finnegan to do a landscaping project for us. They did an excellent job cleaning up and removing the plants in front of our porch. They then picked new plants for the front of our house that were low maintenance and would not overgrow like our previous ones. They also brought in any necessary dirt and mulched. We loved their work and decided to hire them to improve our lawn and for regular maintenance and mowing. Our lawn has improved drastically since we started working with Braley and Finnegan. They are our go to company for any work that needs to be done in our yard!

Braley and Finnegan have been doing my spring and fall clean up for a number of years and I am always impressed with their thoroughness and professionalism. The yard is consistently left immaculate. I have also used them for building a raised flower bed, power washing a fence, and weeding a stone driveway and have always been pleased with their work. They are willing to work with you on refining your vision and their suggestions inevitably improve the final product. Highly recommend this company if you are looking for a hard-working and talented company.

We first spotted Braley and Finnegan when they were doing work in our neighborhood. We liked what we saw so we gave them a call. Patrick came out soon after and gave us a quote on replacing crushed stone under our decks and fixing a short set of stone steps that were coming apart. The crew was on time, professional and quick. They found the stone we were looking for and installed it with a nice edging. Griffin had our stone steps fixed and secure and the whole job came in just under quote. We're very happy with the result. Weâ ll definitely call Braley and Finnegan again for our next landscaping project.

Braley & Finnegan has been my yard maintenance company for two years now. Patrick is great about coming out at the start of each season to go over what needs to be done for spring clean up and an estimate of cost. Recently Chris and AJ did some clean up work. Both were so polite and hard working.

Our shrubs had suffered more than the usual winter damage, so we asked Braley & Finnegan to do more than the usual pruning and replacement. They also weeded and mulched all our gardens. Pat Braley responded promptly to my e-mail and scheduled the work to fit our schedule; and his partner Griffin Finnegan, by appointment, walked around with my wife to discuss details. All work was done promptly and well.

I am very particular about my landscaping and lawn. I used to do it all myself and was reluctant to hire anyone as I thought they would not do it to the standard that I did it. I was wrong when I hired this contractor they knew exactly what I wanted and were extremely meticulous with my landscaping and cutting and trimming my lawn. I would highly recommend them for any of your lawn and landscaping needs

I have used Braley and Finnegan for years on everything from lawn mowing to dry well installation on several of my properties. I would use Patrick and Griffin on all my properties if I could. However some are an hour away. The owners are responsive, honest, super quick and super efficient. They knowledgeable in multiple areas from drainage, stonework, mowing and much more. I can't say enough good things about this company!! Craig Silver Old Lyme

Patrick and his team did a truly incredible job on my property. They transformed our small but terrible looking front lawn/gardens into something out of a catalogue. It helped us sell our home very very quickly. The new owners kept talking about the yard, I honestly think it was one of the main selling points. The B & Finn team was efficient but detailed, showed up 2 days early for the job and completed it sooner than expected. My wife and I were extremely impressed and thankful we found these guys, they went the extra mile truly. I would highly , highly recommend this company!!

Braley & Finnegan did an awesome job on both my backyard pea stone patio with garden edging as well as a beautiful front shade garden at the end of my drive. All the guys were professional, cleaned up at the end of every day and went above the call of duty to make us happy. Couldn't recommend more highly!!
