## The honest read

Executive Landscaping is a South Dennis outfit that's been shaping Cape Cod yards for decades — the company's own site puts its start in 1996 under Chris Cotoia, a twelfth-generation Cape Cod native, though Houzz records the founding a few years earlier, in 1990, and its BBB registration dates to 2001. Whichever year you take, this is a long-running crew, not a newcomer, working from Barnstable to Yarmouth to Chatham and the rest of the mid- and lower Cape.

What people hire them for shows up clearly in the reviews: garden redesigns, new-home landscape installs, and hardscape work like front walks and patios. On Google it holds a 3.8★ average from 26 ratings. A 2025 review describes a full garden redesign that included a custom vegetable garden and troubleshooting a tricky well system, crediting a project lead named Kyle for being responsive and thorough. Another from the same stretch praises a front-walk-and-patio job, naming a second crew lead, Paul, for sound advice and attention to detail. Several reviewers mention staying on as maintenance clients afterward, and name individual staff — Kyle, Angel, Bill — by name, which suggests a team homeowners get to know rather than a rotating crew.

The company's Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration (#210922) is active per the state registry itself, held under Executive Landscaping Inc, and it carries a BBB A+ letter grade (though it isn't BBB-accredited). BuildZoom's own copy of this same profile is oddly filed under an individual's name, Frank L Crowe Jr, though it lists Christopher C Cotoia and Executive Landscaping Inc as co-owners at the same South Dennis address — worth knowing about but not a red flag on its own, since the registry confirms the same license number belongs to this business. BuildZoom also shows two older Massachusetts licenses, a prior HIC number and a construction-supervisor number, as inactive, which reads like a normal renewal history rather than anything disciplinary.

Not every account is glowing. A 2025 review complains about crews starting work before 8am on a Friday, which the reviewer says violates local noise rules for a residential building. And a 2021 review — the one clearly negative account in the record — describes a months-long wait for a patio quote, a curt email exchange with Kyle, and a lawn left worse than they found it.

For a homeowner planning a garden overhaul, a new hardscape install, or ongoing lawn care on the Cape, this is a business with a real, named track record — just confirm start times and get firm timelines in writing before signing on.

**Strengths:**
- Garden redesigns — reviewers praise creative, responsive design work
- Hardscape installs — front walk and patio work praised for attention to detail
- Repeat clients — several reviewers keep using them for ongoing maintenance
- Active state license — Massachusetts HIC registration verified active by the registry

**Concerns:**
- Early start times — a 2025 review cites work starting before 8am
- Slow quote turnaround — a 2021 review cited months of delay and a curt exchange

**Where sources disagree:**
- Founding year differs by source: the company's own site says 1996 and self-reports 30 years in business, Houzz's profile states the business began in 1990, and BBB records it as started/incorporated 7/17/2001
- BuildZoom's licensing page for this address and ownership group is filed under the individual name Frank L Crowe Jr rather than Executive Landscaping Inc, though the state registry itself verifies the same HIC #210922 as held by Executive Landscaping Inc
