Before laying a single brick on a 2024 patio, the crew compacted the ground so it would not settle later. The customer noticed, and wrote it down. That is the sort of thing people keep noticing about Superior Landscape Crew, an Acton company run day to day by Roberto and Abby Fuerte, who started it in 2010 as a part-time venture and now cover lawn and landscape maintenance, hardscape and softscape design and installation, drainage, and snow and ice management. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, 184762, is active and its Better Business Bureau page is an A+.
Two kinds of work come up constantly. The first is stone. A 2024 customer had a retaining wall replaced and stayed close to the supervision throughout; another that year had a retaining wall and patio built and called the workmanship A+. In 2023 a household had tired retaining walls redone with a new patio and stairs, and the existing patio lifted and relaid afterwards rather than wrecked to get the machinery in.
The second is water. In November 2023 a family whose collapsed rainwater drains were flooding the basement got squeezed into the schedule, and Roberto's crew put in three drain lines each over 100 feet. A 2024 customer was surprised that a landscaper would run interior french drains in a basement, and had them done.
Underneath both is ordinary upkeep — weekly mowing, spring and fall cleanups, mulching, irrigation, pruning — for households that have stayed a long time; one wrote in 2024 that the relationship was more than a decade old, another in 2022 that it was nine years. In 2025 an 81-year-old homeowner who did not want to be up a ladder had Mark come out and quote pruning on magnolia, andromeda, boxwood, spreading yew and false cypress. In June 2026 a property line was rebuilt as a living fence with a flower garden, blueberry and raspberry plants, river birches and redbuds.
Abby is the name in most accounts, checking in by email as projects move, with hand-drawn design options matched to a budget and estimates written out in detail. One customer in August 2025 mentioned hiccups along the way and said they were handled promptly.
For a patio, wall or walkway, a drainage problem, or a yard that needs both a plan and someone to keep it up afterwards, this is a small company whose customers stay for years. Check that your town sits inside the Acton, Boxborough, Concord, Littleton, Maynard and Stow service area, and ask for the drawing and the itemized estimate up front — that is how its customers describe the start of the job.
