What We Do

Our Services

From design to installation, our team of licensed professionals handles every part of your outdoor project.

Landscape & Design

Our areas of expertise include driveway construction, retaining walls, paver patios & walkways, excavation, grading, planting design and mulching. As a licensed installer of Unilock pavers and Allan Block walls, we assure the highest quality of workmanship.

Paver Driveway Installation

Interlocking concrete pavers create a beautiful patterned surface that outperforms poured concrete or asphalt. A properly installed paver driveway will last 50 years or more, in a range of sizes, shapes, textures and colors.

Patios & Walkway Installation

A beautiful entrance makes a huge difference in curb appeal. We offer numerous material and design options and can install patios and walkways in yards of any size, guiding you through every stage of the project.

Retaining & Decorative Walls

Retaining walls create raised garden beds, prevent erosion and stabilize sloped banks. Our high-strength concrete blocks resist rotting and decay and come in numerous sizes and finishes to fit your property's character.

Asphalt Driveways & Paving

Our asphalt driveway and parking lot construction meets the highest industry standards. We take special care around flower beds and walkways, finish on time and within budget, and back every job with a minimum one-year written guarantee.

Outdoor Fireplace Installation

Built from attractive natural stone according to local code, our outdoor fireplaces and fire pits are elegant, durable focal points for a patio, backyard or pool area — perfect for cool evenings with friends and family.

Commercial Snow Removal

Our fleet of 20 trucks and machines, plus 40+ sub-contracted pieces of equipment, has made Mento the reliable choice for South Shore snow removal for decades. Full-time mechanics and our own garage keep us ready for any storm.

Mulch, Loam & Stone Delivery

Available for delivery or pick-up at our Braintree showroom, our signature mulch styles and stone products will make a major impact on your outdoor landscape.

Our Story

A Family Owned & Operated Business Since 1973

Mento Landscape and Paving, Inc. was started in 1973 by John L. Mento. Originally a landscape and garden center, the company grew into a full-service landscape, hardscape and paving supercenter, specializing in paver patios, outdoor living design, driveway paving and retaining wall construction.

In 2012, Mento Homes was created by John J. Mento and Dan Mento as a sister company focused on home construction, site development and large-scale excavation. In 2020, Mento Landscape and Paving consolidated with Mento Homes to form Mento Corp. — providing exceptional service for every part of your new or existing home.
