DeMelo Brothers

DeMelo Brothers is a family landscaping business in Marstons Mills; the company says its founders started it in 1976 and that it has remained family-owned. Its website lists landscape design, installation, garden care, hardscape, irrigation and lawn care, with a stated service area that includes Centerville, Osterville, Cotuit, Hyannis, Sandwich, Mashpee, Yarmouth and Dennis. A recent customer had aeration, top dressing and seeding done and says the lawn is "a carpet and getting better each day." A recent customer has the company treat trees and apply organic mosquito and tick spray and organic fertilizer, and said it built a cobblestone pathway and dug a hole for a son's deck. A recent customer praised a spring cleanup and first mowing and called the crew polite and thorough. A 2024 customer said Rob and his team designed and rebuilt a block-to-stone retaining wall, on time and on budget. A 2024 customer said Rob and his crew put in Nantucket red brick walkways, new lawns, new gardens, new trees and a full irrigation system on a property in Osterville. A 2022 customer said Rob came back with a planting plan for a yard with extreme afternoon sun in some parts and heavy shade in others, and that the whole yard was done in about one week. A 2023 customer said the company did their patio and was considerate and communicative. A 2024 customer said Rob explained and followed up on the permit process. A recent customer of four summers described weekly mowing at $65 a visit going wrong: a walkway left overgrown with weeds, a month with no response, a fence the crew forgot to put back up after removing it to mow, and word on a scheduled mowing day that the company would no longer service the property. A 2024 customer was told the company was not taking any new business.
