San Marino Landscape and Construction

San Marino Landscape and Construction is a Dedham-based landscaping and hardscape company offering lawn care, masonry, patios and walkways, tree work, and snow plowing across the Greater Boston area; the company says it's been in business for about 15 years, and its Angi profile separately claims 28. The praise, when it comes, is specific. In an April 2024 review, a property manager described San Marino doing a thorough spring cleanup at a thirty-unit condominium, clearing dead shrubs and debris throughout the driveway and parking areas. In a 2023 review, a homeowner said the crew transformed an overgrown yard into something that looked "magical" while working around existing plants and trees, at fair pricing. Renato and his crew come up by name in another 2023 review as knowledgeable, reliable, and reasonably priced. But the complaints are just as specific. In an August 2023 review, a three-year client described the crew rushing through a routine lawn cut and leaving so much cut grass and mulch debris that it filled their pool. A December 2023 review called staff unprofessional and rude. A June 2026 review, the most recent on file, complained about the crew's vehicles illegally blocking traffic with, in the reviewer's words, no situational awareness. The company's own site lists a Full Pesticide License, though it hasn't been checked against the state registry. Given how mixed the accounts are — real praise for cleanup and design work sitting alongside real complaints about carelessness and parking — it's worth talking to a couple of recent references before committing to a maintenance contract, especially if pool or hardscape protection during mowing matters to you.
