Smart Landscaping & Masonry is the kind of Waltham crew people call when an outdoor project crosses several trades: a worn lawn, drainage work, a fence, or an asphalt driveway. The company identifies itself at 80 Francis St, lists landscaping, masonry, and asphalt work, and says it serves Waltham. Customer comments repeatedly refer to Roberto and his crew. A detailed 2023 review described re-sodding, mulching, sprinkler installation, a French drain, fence installation, and driveway repaving handled by the same team. Another customer writing in 2023 said Roberto managed both winter plowing and warm-weather landscaping for a condo association while keeping to the contract. In 2024, a reviewer said several projects for the customer and nearby homeowners finished on time and on budget; a July 2026 customer returned with another five-star comment about the team. The main question is asphalt quality. One June 2024 customer said a new asphalt surface cracked and deteriorated within weeks and also criticized the cleanup. That complaint sits alongside extensive praise, but it is specific enough to discuss before signing: ask what asphalt mix and base preparation the crew proposes, how drainage will be handled, what cleanup includes, and what warranty applies. This company makes the most sense for a Waltham homeowner or property manager who wants one crew for connected landscape and hardscape work rather than separate calls for the lawn, drainage, fencing, and paving. Put the scope, materials, cleanup, timing, and warranty in writing, especially when asphalt is part of the job.

Roberto and team once again did an amazing job!!!
Highly recommend! Thanks, Roberto and your crew! You guys transformed my backyard to a dream backyard. Can’t thank you enough!
Roberto is amazing, professional and reliable. He did several projects for us and our neighbors . He is such a hard worker and finishea on time and on budget. Don’t hesitate to contact if you have projects or questions. So niche to work with. Highly recommend.
Terrible service and poor quality of asphalt I am very disappointed with the service provided by this Smart company. The work done in my house was of very low quality. The asphalt began to crack and deteriorate within just a few weeks of being installed. Plus they left a big mess that I had to clean up myself. I tried to contact the owner, I think his name is Roberto, and the guy didn't give me any useful answers, then he started cutting my calls. The lack of responsibility and poor quality of service from this company have left a very bad and negative impression on me. I do not recommend this company to anyone and will not use their services again in the future.
Top notch service. Roberto has a great passion for what he does.
