# Colson's Tree Service **Trade:** Tree Services · **Address:** 52 Commerce Park Rd, Brewster, MA 02631 · **Phone:** (508) 896-7319 · **Website:** https://www.colsonslandscapingcapecod.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.6/5** (low confidence) — from 1 reviews across 5 sources. ## The honest read Colson's Tree Service is the trading name for Colson's Landscaping, Inc., a family-run outfit that's worked out of Brewster since 1979 — 47 years on Cape Cod, by the company's own account. Leon Colson runs it as president, and the crew covers the full outdoor spread: tree removal, pruning and stump grinding on one side, mowing, planting, irrigation and stonework — walls, patios, walkways — on the other. Beyond that, there's little else on file yet. The Better Business Bureau lists the company at an A+ grade, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business, with a file dating to 2001 alongside the 1979 start. Otherwise there's just one Google review, and it's a mixed signal — rated 4 stars, but the text itself reads as a complaint, 'Don't show up for appointments,' while Google's own page shows only 3.2 stars across 5 ratings total. Worth confirming before booking: given how little independent feedback exists, ask directly about current scheduling and how firm appointment windows are, especially for time-sensitive tree work. Colson's is a fit for a homeowner who wants one company for both tree work and the surrounding landscape — the long tenure and BBB grade point to staying power, even though there isn't much customer detail here yet to weigh against that. **Strengths:** - Long tenure — family-run in Brewster since 1979 - BBB A+ grade — despite no BBB accreditation - Irrigation partner — Hunter Irrigation Preferred Partner status **Concerns:** - Appointment reliability — a Google review reports missed appointments - Thin review base — Google shows only 5 ratings on file **Where sources disagree:** - One Google review is rated 4 stars but its text reads as a complaint ('Don't show up for appointments') — the star and the written complaint disagree ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Family-owned, run by president Leon Colson, based in Brewster and serving Cape Cod since 1979 _(confidence: high)_ - [Official Website](https://www.colsonslandscapingcapecod.com) — “A family-owned landscaping and tree service company based in Brewster, MA, serving Cape Cod since 1979 with landscape design, tree care, law…” - [Official Website](https://www.colsonslandscapingcapecod.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Family owned and operated business servicing Cape Cod since 1979.” - [Official Website](https://www.colsonslandscapingcapecod.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Family owned and operated.” - [Official Website](https://www.colsonslandscapingcapecod.com) — “Stated ownership (self-reported): Family-owned” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/brewster/profile/landscape-contractors/colsons-landscaping-inc-0021-39267) — “BBB profile for Colson's Landscaping, Inc.
