S & J Exco has been the go-to landscape-supply yard and recycling transfer station in South Dennis since 1958 — mulch, loam, topsoil and stone on the retail side, plus wood waste, scrap metal, demolition debris, and roll-off dumpster rental on the other. The company says it serves Dennis, Harwich, Yarmouth, Brewster and Chatham, and it carries an A+ Better Business Bureau grade.
The volume of feedback is large — 4.6 stars from 182 Google ratings, with 49 written reviews spanning 2022 through 2026 — and the overwhelming majority describe the same thing: friendly, helpful staff by name (Jenna, Niki, Maura, Becca in the office; Josh, Manny, Mike, Pat, Nate and Pete on the yard side), quick material deliveries, and an easy-to-navigate operation. One customer had four cubic yards of rich plant mix delivered the next day; another had mulch delivered with no charge until it arrived, calling it "old fashioned respect for customers."
That said, a real minority thread runs through the record too, and it repeats across years rather than being a one-off. Several reviewers — one as recently as March 2026, another back in 2022 — describe feeling shortchanged on scrap metal buy-back prices, including a 2022 account naming a manager adjusting the quoted price after the load was already dropped off. A handful of reviews describe rude or dismissive treatment: a 2025 review called the demolition staff "ignorant and rude," and a 2022 review described the owners as disrespectful with no clear way to escalate a complaint. Separately, a 2023 review described a company truck aggressively tailgating and nearly forcing another driver off the highway — a safety account worth knowing about even though it's an isolated report.
For buying mulch, loam, stone, or renting a dumpster, the volume and consistency of positive experiences here is real and substantial. If you're bringing in scrap metal to sell, it's worth confirming the payout in writing before you unload — that's where the complaints concentrate.
