## The honest read

Foster Creative Designs, Inc. is a Bourne-area landscape company led by David B. Foster, whom the company identifies as its principal and owner. Its website says the business has served residential and commercial clients across the South Shore and Cape Cod since 1997, with work spanning landscape design, hardscaping, softscaping, lawn care, horticultural maintenance, and outdoor living spaces. The site also describes Foster as veteran-owned and lists training and credentials including Certified Landscape Designer, Certified Pollinator Steward, and Massachusetts Certified Landscape Professional (MCLP).

Recent Google reviewers repeatedly praise the crew’s professionalism, communication, responsiveness, cleanup, and finished landscape work. Specific accounts describe planting beds, grading, irrigation, gardens, cobblestone driveway edging, sod, retaining walls, outdoor living design, brush removal, and tree service. The Google profile shows 3.8 stars from 24 ratings, while the 13 quoted reviews span 2022–2025 and include one detailed report that an estimate never arrived and one off-site driving complaint involving a company vehicle.

Before booking, ask who will handle the design, construction, lawn-care, and horticultural portions of the scope, and confirm the estimate process and follow-up expectations. Foster appears suited to homeowners seeking a design-led landscape project or ongoing property care across Plymouth, Sagamore Beach, and Cape Cod; confirm the exact service area, schedule, and written scope for the specific property.

**Strengths:**
- Finished landscapes — detailed praise for gardens, patios, sod, walls, and irrigation
- Professional crews — reviewers repeatedly mention communication, care, and cleanup
- Landscape design — customers cite thoughtful plans and attractive outdoor living spaces
- Responsive service — recent reviews praise timely communication and dependable project follow-through

**Concerns:**
- Estimate follow-up — one 2025 reviewer never received a requested estimate
- Driving complaint — one 2024 reviewer reported unsafe company-vehicle behavior

**Where sources disagree:**
- The website says serving since 1997, while BBB reports business started in 2005 and 21 years in business.
- The contractor record names Foster Creative Designs, Inc., while the website and BBB pages use Foster Creative Designs/Foster Creative Designs, LLC.
