Mark Scenna draws the plans himself. A June 2025 customer who wanted a patio with a fire pit wrote that he listened, put the design on paper and made suggestions; the stone block wall a Georgetown homeowner described in April 2025 — with a custom paver landing and granite slabs — was his design too, built by a crew they called perfectionists. MAS runs out of Saugus. Its site says Mark A. Scenna founded the company in 2004 and personally oversees every project, and puts it at 22 years of landscaping, hardscaping, bobcat work and commercial snow management on the North Shore, naming Chelsea, Everett, Lynnfield, Malden, Medford, Melrose, Revere and Saugus. Hardscape is where the recent work lands. A July 2026 customer had a new retaining wall built and was kept updated as it went. A November 2025 homeowner got a few quotes on a retaining wall, then had the old one around the house removed and replaced. An August 2025 review covers a paver patio and wall in Salem, and in August 2026 a side yard overrun with weeds was rebuilt with artificial turf and pavers. Back in July 2022, someone had front and back patios that had sunk repaired. The other half of this business is keeping properties in shape. In August 2023 a customer had weeds 8 feet tall cleared from behind a fence and hauled away; a June 2022 customer in Melrose wrote that the crew had mowed every Friday the year before and mulched the garden beds. For snow, a November 2025 manager of a large industrial property said that with MAS under contract the job gets done on time and they never need to pick up the phone, and a January 2025 reviewer at F.W. Webb in Malden said the lot is kept clear and safe for a building that opens at 6am. Two things to go in knowing. They are usually not the low bid — an Angi reviewer in September 2016 wrote that they weren't the cheapest quote and hired them anyway, and one in September 2014 said much the same about the price. And a March 2017 reviewer, otherwise pleased, said the project got delayed a little. For a patio, a retaining wall, or a yard that has gotten away from you, this is a strong call — ask for the design drawing Mark's customers describe, and pin down the start date before you sign.
“[MA Landscaping & Snow](https://www.landscapingandsnow.com/) are great.”
Very happy with the job that Mark and his team done for me. Very Professional team.
Mark and his team were a pleasure to work with on my side yard project. The area had become overrun with weeds and a major chore to deal with every couple weeks during the growing season. Working with Mark he came up with a solution leveraging artificial turf, pavers, and cobblestones to transform the area. Additional plus, my escape artist dogs can’t get out. Throughout the process Mark was very responsive and engaged and I couldn’t be happier with the end product.
MAS did a great job with the new retaining wall. Mark was very informative and kept me updated on the progress...
I wanted to share a review on our recent backyard landscaping project, which was a full remodel, patio installation, turf and play area with mulch. The experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The MAS team was attentive, professional and truly made sure every detail match our vision. The patio craftsmanship was top-notch. It’s become the new heart of our outdoor space. The turf installation was equally impressive! The team ensured the ground was properly prepared and the turf itself has a wonderfully natural look and feel. It’s low maintenance, stays lush and it’s perfect for pets and kids! The play area was thoughtfully designed, providing a soft, safe surface for the kids. Overall, the remodel has exceeded our expectations in every way. The communication was clear throughout and project was completed on schedule. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend MAS Landscaping & Snow Removal to anyone considering backyard remodeling. Thank you for making our outdoor space a place we love!
Thumbs up! 👍 Got a few different quotes on retaining wall and was impressed with Mark's Professionalism. He was finanically reasonable with quality stone and repairs. Excellent smooth business process. Removed old retaining wall around house and replaced with new within 5 days or less. Looks Beautiful, solid and I am very happy with overall outcome. It's nice coming home to an updated sleek look. Ty.
