— Design first
Outdoor rooms,
not random features.
A premium exterior is more than a patio or a wall. It is the way people move through the property, where they gather, how water leaves the site, and how materials age together.
A designed plan
Each project starts with layout, flow, grade, materials, and how the space will be used day to night.
Built by craftsmen
Stone, brick, concrete, and drainage are handled by the same team responsible for the finished look.
Finished like a portfolio piece
Lighting, edges, steps, caps, joints, and cleanup are treated as part of the design, not afterthoughts.
— Studio standard
Design
Build
One accountable team for the visual design, technical base, masonry execution, drainage, and final finish.
— Who we are
Exterior design,
built to last.
Founded by brothers Josimar and Anderson Araujo, JAA Construction & Landscaping brings two decades of exterior craft to every project, from intimate garden entries to estate-scale outdoor rooms.
We think like designers and build like masons: proportion, material, grade, drainage, structure, and finish all have to work together for an exterior to feel premium.

— How we work
One process.
From vision to walkthrough.
01
Discover
We walk the property, listen to how you live outside, and identify the opportunities the space is already asking for.
02
Design
We shape the layout, material palette, drainage plan, and investment range before a single stone is set.
03
Build
The Araujo brothers lead the site with hand-set stone, tight tolerances, clean sequencing, and daily accountability.
04
Refine
We tune the details at the end: edge lines, transitions, lighting moments, drainage, cleanup, and final walkthrough.
— The Araujo brothers
Two brothers.
A shared standard.
Josimar and Anderson didn't set out to build the largest landscape company in Massachusetts. They set out to build the most meticulous one — where every paver is placed by hand, every wall is levelled twice, and every client knows their installer by name.

The proof is
in the work.
"Josimar and Anderson turned our backyard into an outdoor room. The bluestone patio feels designed, not just installed."

"We had three estimates for our retaining wall. JAA was the clearest about drainage, structure, and finish. Two winters in and not a crack."
