Rafaelitos Landscaping & Masonry

Rafaelitos Landscaping & Masonry has racked up 51 reviews across five sites — Google, Angi, HomeAdvisor, Yahoo, and Networx — and not one of them is under five stars. Mr. Rafael runs the company out of Lynn, and the self-reported service list runs wider than the name suggests: retaining walls, patios, fencing, driveways, and concrete work alongside the everyday lawn care. The last six months alone brought 17 reviews and zero complaints, and the pattern in them is consistent: spring and fall cleanups, mowing, edging, and shrub trimming done on schedule and left tidy. One customer had the steps and walkway power-washed and the lawn mulched and edged, calling Rafaelito "a perfectionist" with high standards; another said the crew showed up on time and worked hard all day to get the lawn and edging looking sharp. A run of Spanish-language reviews from the same spring points to the other side of the business — fence installation and asphalt paving finished with attention to detail — and two separate winter reviews describe a fast turnaround on snow removal, one crediting a same-day response and a follow-up mason repair on a wall damaged by plowing. Before calling, it helps to know this is a bilingual crew handling both routine yard maintenance and hardscape or masonry projects — worth being specific about which one you need, since the reviews split fairly evenly between the two. One customer mentioned the company sends video of the finished product, useful if you want to see the work before it's billed. The one loose thread worth flagging: the company's own website lists its address as "Trace Ave," while Google, Angi, and HomeAdvisor all show 27 Tracy Ave — almost certainly a typo rather than a different shop. This is a strong option for a Lynn-area homeowner who wants one crew for both the seasonal yard work and a fencing or masonry project, and the five-star run holds across every platform it's listed on. Confirm which side of the business — lawn maintenance or hardscape — you're booking, since that's the one detail the reviews don't spell out up front.
