M & L Landscaping & Construction, LLC

M & L Landscaping & Construction is a Lynn, MA hardscape and landscaping company run by Leo, doing paver patios, retaining walls, driveways, brick re-pointing, decks, and fencing. HomeAdvisor and Angi both show a 4.9 rating from 96 reviews. The specifics run deep: a deck demolished and a patio installed in two days, a driveway replaced alongside a new patio and retaining wall with an enclosed fence, a 30-year-old wood deck swapped for composite along with a patio and retaining wall repair once the customer saw the quality of the first job, and a structural repair that required manually excavated concrete piers and Lally columns. Several customers describe bringing the crew back for a second or third project, and reviews consistently mention Leo staying reachable by text throughout. One 2025 review stands apart: a customer described a tractor used to move soil damaging their front lawn, and said the issue was still unresolved when they wrote it. It's worth asking directly how a job like that would be protected against, especially for larger hardscape projects involving heavy equipment. The company's own directory pages also give two different tenure figures — 12-plus years in its About text against a separate 6-years-of-experience badge — so it's unclear exactly how long it's been operating under this name. For paver patios, retaining walls, brick work, or a deck project, the volume and consistency of praise here — dozens of detailed, mostly five-star accounts — is a strong signal; just confirm site-protection practices before a job involving heavy machinery.
