## The honest read

Foley Landscape Services is a one-person landscaping and lawn-care business run by owner Chris Foley out of South Dennis, on Cape Cod's mid-Cape. The Better Business Bureau lists the sole proprietorship as started 1/1/2015, offering general property maintenance, landscape design and lighting, loam delivery and spreading, lawn care and maintenance, painting, and handyman services; Houzz narrows that to yard cleanups, regular mowing, and hedge/shrub/tree trimming and pruning, with a self-reported service area covering Dennis, Yarmouth, Brewster, Harwich, Chatham, Hyannis, Centerville, and Barnstable Village.

Customers who hired Chris and his crew through 2016 consistently described the work as thorough, professional, and friendly: one homeowner called a messy property 'clean and breathing' after a cleanup, another said the work was top quality at over $100 below the next-closest estimate, and a third planned to rehire for future projects.

The business carries a BBB A+ rating (not BBB-accredited) and a perfect 5.0 on Houzz from a single detailed review. But the record thins out badly after 2016: the only review from the past decade, a January 2020 Google review, reported the business never called back and never showed for an appointment, and asked outright whether it was still operating. No reviews of any kind have surfaced since.

Anyone considering hiring should confirm the business is still active and reachable before relying on it - the company's own website currently loads no content. It's also worth knowing that one of the five-star Google reviews states the reviewer is the owner's own parent ('this is my son's business so I don't have to ever pay him'), which reads as family support rather than an independent paying customer, and Houzz's claim of 'over 15+ years' of experience runs longer than the 11 years BBB's own start date supports.

**Strengths:**
- Yard cleanups — reviewers call the crew thorough and professional
- Fair pricing — one reviewer says over $100 below the next estimate
- BBB A+ rating — held as an unaccredited sole proprietorship since 2016

**Concerns:**
- Recent responsiveness — a 2020 reviewer reported no call, no show
- Current operating status — the same review asked if the business had closed
- Review credibility — one 5-star Google review is from the owner's parent

**Where sources disagree:**
- Houzz claims 'Over 15+ Years of experience' while BBB's own business-started date (1/1/2015) supports only 11 years — a tenure overstatement.
- One 5-star Google review (2016-02-27) states the reviewer is the owner's parent ('this is my son's business so I don't have to ever pay him'), not an independent paying customer.
