Kelly Brothers Landscaping

Six people have rated Kelly Brothers Landscaping on Google and the average lands at 2.8 — a split verdict, and only one of the six wrote anything down. That one, from October 2023, is emphatic. The homeowner said they had been through several landscapers before this crew, ended up with a yard they were happy to spend time in, and credited the company with taking pride in the work. It is one strong account, nearly three years old, sitting inside an average the other raters plainly did not share. The Belmont company behind it is long-established. Its Better Business Bureau profile shows 27 years in business — started in 1999 and incorporated in 2001 — with five employees and Brendan Kelly as president, listed under landscape contractors. BBB does not grade it: the page reads Not Rated because BBB says it lacks sufficient information, and the company is not accredited. So the shape here is a small, durable outfit with a deep history and a shallow paper trail, and a star average that says the experience has varied more than that one review suggests. Before hiring, ask for two or three recent Belmont-area customers you can call, and ask them directly what the lower ratings were about — with six ratings and one written account, the phone call will tell you more than the page does.
