- Who We Are
Your outdoor space deserves thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and a team that truly listens.
Some landscapes are built. Others are thoughtfully designed to fit the people who use them. At Ispini Landscapes, we started our journey in 2013, originally planning to return to Ireland after two years. However, an opportunity to develop an innovation lab for a Fortune 500 company changed everything, and we put down solid roots in the U.S.
With 35+ years of experience, we’ve built a company that blends creativity with solid craftsmanship. From landscape design services that turn ideas into reality to softscaping services that bring color and life, every project is designed to fit the way you live.
Our hardscaping services create spaces for connection, while our landscape lighting installers highlight beauty and improve security. Whether you’re looking for outdoor living contractors to craft a backyard escape or site work contractors to lay the foundation for your vision, we’re here to help.
Every yard has potential. We’re here to bring it to life. Thank you for considering us for your next outdoor project—let’s build something great together!

My name is Paul Leahy, and I’m the founder and owner of Ispini Landscapes. Originally from Cork, Ireland, my journey began with a degree in Art & Design in the mid-1980s, which led me into the family horticulture business. Over the years, I honed my creative skills across a wide range of design projects, from television productions to large-scale international events, including celebrity weddings. I’m proud to have represented Ireland on the world stage as an award-winning floristry designer.
In the early 2000s, I took what was meant to be a short career break to travel—but life had other plans. I took a role in sales and began a new professional chapter that spanned two decades, primarily in the insurance industry, in various leadership and innovation roles. Along the way, I met my amazing wife, settled in the UK, and welcomed our son in 2007.
In 2013, an opportunity brought us to the U.S. for a work project. What started as a two-year plan turned into something much more. I was given the chance to build an innovation lab for a Fortune 500 insurance company, and with that, we chose to make the U.S. our permanent home.
Despite the turns my career has taken, the passion for horticulture and design never left me. In 2019, I returned to my creative roots and founded Ispini Landscapes—a venture that has grown steadily ever since. Today, Ispini is a reflection of my lifelong love for landscape design, creativity, and craftsmanship.
In 2023, my family and I proudly became U.S. citizens. We now live in Medfield, where I enjoy cooking, golf, skiing, and—of course—working on my own yard.
