Robert Childs Inc.

Robert Childs Inc. describes itself as a South Dennis heavy-equipment dealer, rental company and landscaping-materials supplier serving Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, and says it also takes on demolition, drainage, excavation, septic installation and repair, site work, rock walls and asphalt or concrete driveways. A 2026 customer wrote that the company was started some 70 years ago by a father who was a Marine veteran of World War II, and that brothers run it. On Google it holds 4.4 stars from 82 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau grades it A+. A recent customer called at 9 a.m. on a Saturday to rent a machine and said it was at their place by 9:30 the same morning. A recent r/CapeCod commenter suggested Childs in Dennis for loam. A 2026 customer said that when they called to order loam for their yard in Salt Air Village, they were told it would be down in less than 2 hours. A 2025 customer said the yard mixed them a 50/50 blend of sand and topsoil. A 2024 customer rented a track skidsteer and bought 45 ton of Tbase asphalt, and called the prices very reasonable. In a 2022 review, a customer who had just bought a second new machine said that when it showed an engine light on its first day, a tech was sent to the job site within 24 hours to repair it. A Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CS-060173, held by Robert C Childs, is expired on the state registry, which lists it as "Null and Void".
