## The honest read

R & B Landscape Contracting is a Harwich, MA landscaping and hardscaping company that says it has served the Mid and Lower Cape — including Harwich, Brewster, Chatham, and Dennis — since 2002, with about 20 years in business by its own account (BBB separately records a Business Started date of 1/1/2006). The company focuses on seasonal lawn care, plantings, and irrigation, along with hardscaping work like patios, walkways, and driveways, plus some home-improvement services such as decks and window replacement.

Homeowners who have hired R & B consistently praise the lawn-care and cleanup side of the business: several reviewers describe using the company for spring and fall cleanups, gutter cleaning, and general lawn maintenance across multiple years, with some citing relationships stretching over a decade. Google shows a 4.9-star average from 17 ratings, and the 13 reviews on file from 2024 and 2025 are uniformly positive — 12 five-star and one four-star — with reviewers repeatedly noting prompt, responsive communication by text or phone. On the hardscaping side, one detailed 2025 review describes a crew installing a new brick pathway on a difficult grade and completing tree trimming and a fall cleanup in a single day, which lines up with BBB's own description of the business specializing in landscape construction, custom stonework patios, driveways, granite steps, brick pavers, and fire pits. A commercial customer, a Harwich CVS location, also credits the company with dependable snow and winter service.

The company's home-improvement offerings — decks, outdoor showers, and siding or window replacement — appear only on its own website, with no reviews or third-party sources describing that side of the work, so it's worth asking for references specific to those projects before booking. Because that scope goes beyond landscaping-only work, it's also worth confirming current HIC or construction-supervisor licensing directly before signing a contract. BBB shows the business as not accredited, which is common for small local contractors and not itself a red flag.

Overall, R & B looks like a well-established choice for Cape Cod homeowners who need recurring lawn care, seasonal cleanups, or hardscaping like patios and walkways, backed by a long track record of repeat, satisfied customers; for the home-improvement side of the business, get a written scope and confirm licensing before booking.

**Strengths:**
- Long-tenured relationships — several reviewers describe multi-year, even decade-plus, engagements
- Responsive communication — reviewers repeatedly cite prompt text and phone replies
- Custom hardscaping — BBB and a review corroborate brick pathways and stonework patios
- Reliable scheduling — reviewers describe prompt, organized project starts and clean job sites

**Concerns:**
- Home-improvement scope — decks and window work are self-reported with no review corroboration

**Where sources disagree:**
- Tenure claim: the website's About page states the business was established in 2002, while BBB records a Business Started date of 1/1/2006 and Years in Business 20 (matching the website's own homepage claim of 20 years) — roughly a 4-year discrepancy in founding date
