In 2020 a reviewer wrote that the company sub-contracts everything and that the pricing is too high. Its website states 20 years in business.

Joe and his crew completed 90-95% of our project (mostly a patio) back in November/December and said theyâ d â of courseâ come back in the spring to complete the work. Joe asked us to pay the remaining 50% of the contract because we were the only work they had at that point in the season and, since it was the week before the holidays, he wanted to â take care of [his] guys.â My husband and I thought it was a nice sentiment, so we agreed - though, I did email an outstanding completion checklist to set clear expectations for the spring. Iâ ve texted, called, and emailed for 3+ months to no avail. So, keep in mind that even if he does complete your project, his one-year warranty means nothing! I will gladly revise this review if he reaches out and we come to a satisfactory resolution, but as of now, my next steps are filing a complaint with the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, contacting the AGâ s office, and if needed, filing a small claim for the amount Iâ ll need to pay a different contractor plus compensation for my time and stress.
If I could give zero stars I would. Joe was negligent and incompetent as soon as the project launched. He didn’t return calls, texts, or even effectively communicate what he was doing to our house during the whole time of construction. It was a horrible feeling to watch him and his team ignore instruction and communication as they built onto our house with no regard as to what we wanted. This guy is a clown and we deeply regret hiring him.
JM Mento Landscaping was highly recommended by a friend of ours. Joe was easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable in what he does & had great design ideas !!! We couldnâ t be happier with the finished project ! Now after seeing our new patio/fire pit & landscaping completed. I absolutely recommend JM Mento to anyone looking to add to their outdoor living space.

I hired JM Mento Landscape Design to design and relandscape our entire yard in Dedham. Joe Mento was very professional and easy to work with. As the job progressed Joe was very accommodating with any changes we requested. We had a 750 sq ft brick patio installed along with approximately 200 ft of stone walls around the property as well as all new plantings. We also expanded our driveway to two car width as well as installing sod and irrigation throughout the yard. Joe always kept us up to date on budget and progress and was on property quite often checking on quality and progress. His crew led by Marcelo was there every day from 7:00am to 7:00pm. They were very courteous and respectful of the neighbors and would do a great job cleaning up at the end of each day. Joe also coordinated installing chainlink fencing around the back yard. II would definitely hire Mento Landscape Design again for any landscaping needs I have. Their work was very high quality and very reasonably priced.
