— long-running Braintree operation
  • Service scope — 2021 review says no lawn maintenance or cleanup

Mento Landscaping & Paving is a family-run Braintree operation that, by its own account, traces back to 1973, when John L. Mento started it as a landscape and garden center; the company says it's now run by John J. Mento and Dan Mento, with the founder still active as a sales and project manager, and it expanded over the decades into full landscaping, hardscaping, and asphalt/paver paving. In 2020 it consolidated with a sister company to also offer home construction and real estate brokerage, though the reviews here are almost entirely about landscaping and hardscape work. The written record runs from 2008 to this year across seven sources — Google, Houzz, Angi, and others — and it's unusually deep and consistent for a contractor this size, with the same two names, Jason and Rodrigo, running crews through project after project: full driveway redos, multi-level paver walkways with drainage tied into back stairs and basement entryways, retaining walls, patios, and fire pits. A 2024 review described a brick patio Mento installed 18 years earlier as still looking new, after the crew came back to add a patio extension; another, from mid-2025, described a two-large-retaining-wall and paved-walkway project finished in three days. Google shows 4.1★ from 45 ratings and the Better Business Bureau lists an A+ grade. What's worth knowing: a 2021 review raised a narrower complaint — the reviewer said the company advertises as a landscaping business but, per Mento's own answer, doesn't handle lawn maintenance or fall cleanup, and felt the marketing should say so. It's worth confirming directly: this reads as a hardscape-and-paving specialist first, not a full-service lawn-care outfit, despite the "Landscaping" in its name. For a driveway, patio, walkway, or retaining-wall project, the record here is about as deep and steady as this directory sees. For routine lawn care and seasonal cleanups, it's worth asking whether that's actually part of what they do.

    I have completed dozens of projects and Mento is at the top. From first interaction / estimate through completion, they are top notch. As a person who runs multi-million dollar commercial projects, this is HARD to find. You get what you pay for! Jason did a great job and was here EVERYDAY and Fernando and crew were meticulous and fast. You can cut price by using subpar products or subpar labor, I am not ready to do either. The price was fair, the communication and quality are the best.

    I recently had a paved walkway with two sets of steps and two large retaining walls installed on my property in Weymouth. Dreading the size and cost of a project like that, I was referred by a friend who had told me of what great work they had done on her property, ..I met and worked with Jason and his team who were great! Absolutely outstanding service!The team were prompt professional, and incredibly skilled. From planning to clean up ,their attention to detail and care was evident every step of the way. Very reasonable price and unbelievably all of that was done in three days… Highly recommend Mento Co to anyone looking for top quality work and exceptional customer service, great local company. I am so pleased. Thankyou Debra C

    Just had two new sidewalks done by Jason and his team from Mento. They arrived on time as they set. I had a 6 year old sidewalk that was buckling so had called them on several recommendations from friends that had work done by them. They tore up the old sidewalk, regraded the path and laid down a new front and back sidewalk. They squared the front walk with the house (it was originally at an odd angle) and put down new loam and grass side on the areas that were dug up. It came out beautifully! Next up…a new driveway from Mento! Should have had them do my driveway two years ago. Thank you to Jason and all the wonderful folks at Mento! Great job!

    Contacted Mento for quote on patio, outdoor fire pit, and misc. landscaping. Jason responded immediately and did assessment. Pricing was reasonable and we were very happy with results - crew was super professional and work was quality. It’s been a few years and everything has held up really well. Jason made solid recommendations re low maint landscape. Would definitely use Mento again and highly recommend.

    I am very happy with my experience with Mento. I worked on this project with Jason who was always punctual, professional, and communicative. They also provided a fair a d competitive price for a new walkway. Outside of the price, the quality of work was excellent. The install team removed my old walkway, prepared the ground, and installed the new walkway in just one day. I highly recommend.
