All Star Landscaping & Masonry Service

All Star Landscaping & Masonry Service, run out of Roslindale by a lead named Orli, has spent years building retaining walls, patios, walkways, and fire pits around Boston's Roslindale, Hyde Park, West Roxbury and Mattapan neighborhoods, alongside routine lawn care, mulching, and tree trimming. Its own marketing claims over 18 years of experience, though its site separately lists 2017 as the year established — call it roughly nine years as of 2026 — and those two numbers don't agree with each other. Orli is the name reviewers reach for again and again, from 2021 through the middle of 2026: quick to respond with a formal quote, competitive on price against other bids, and — in several accounts — willing to honor an original quote even after running into unexpected complications like buried rock. The hardscape work is the throughline: retaining walls paired with stone columns at a driveway entrance in a 2023 review, a broken concrete walkway replaced with new pavers in 2024, a 600-square-foot backyard turned into what one 2026 reviewer called an "ultimate hangout patio." A 2024 review described Orli fielding questions for six months before a full backyard transformation — fencing, grading, drainage — finally started, and several reviews describe cleanup crews leaving a site spotless every day of a multi-day job. Two accounts complicate that picture. A 2025 review said a customer who'd used the company happily the summer before found the crew — apparently newer staff, spread across three jobs on the same street at once — noticeably less capable of the same work the second time around. And a July 2026 review, from a tenant whose landlord hired the crew rather than the reviewer directly, described repeated carelessness around lawn items and holiday decorations despite asking the crew to be careful. Neither describes damage to a paid customer's finished hardscape work, but both are worth asking about — specifically, who's actually on the crew for a given job and how careful they are around a property's other belongings. For hardscaping and general landscaping in the Roslindale-to-Hyde Park corridor, this is a long-running operation with a deep run of specific, detailed praise; get a firm crew commitment and confirm care around anything outside the immediate work area before signing on.
