MAS Landscaping & Snow Removal

MAS Landscaping & Snow Removal is a Saugus outfit built on two things done well: precise hardscaping — retaining walls, paver patios, stone block work — and commercial snow contracts that clients don't have to think twice about once they're signed. The company says it's been running since 2004, when Mark A. Scenna started it, and Scenna still owns it and personally oversees the work. The written record is long and almost uniformly positive: 42 reviews stretching from 2013 through this year across seven platforms, rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google, Angi and HomeAdvisor alike. What stands out isn't just the volume — it's how specific the praise stays. One industrial-property client says MAS has handled its snow and ice removal for three-plus seasons with zero callbacks, adding they "never need to pick up the phone." Another commercial account switched to MAS after being overcharged and underserved elsewhere, calling the crew extremely reliable and noting Scenna checks on the work even when he isn't the one doing it. On the landscaping side, the hardscaping work draws the most detailed praise: a granite-slab retaining wall in Georgetown, a paver patio and wall built in Salem, a stone block wall homeowners describe as "perfectionist" work. Residential clients also point to responsiveness — same-day contact after a Friday inquiry, crews on-site by Monday — and to full-scope projects, like a side-yard redo that swapped an unruly, weed-choked area for artificial turf and pavers. One thing worth asking about: a 2016 reviewer noted MAS wasn't the cheapest bid they got, and chose the company anyway for responsiveness and workmanship — worth knowing when comparing quotes. MAS is a strong call for hardscaping projects — retaining walls, patios, stonework — and for commercial snow contracts where consistency matters more than the lowest bid. For routine lawn maintenance and clean-ups it has an equally long history around Everett, Revere, Saugus and the surrounding North Shore towns it names as its service area, worth confirming directly since that area is a specific, named list rather than a broad region.
