S.H. Dunford LLC

S.H. Dunford LLC is a landscape construction, excavation, land clearing, and septic systems contractor based in Yarmouth (South Yarmouth) on Cape Cod. Owner Sam Dunford, a Cape Cod native who grew up in Brewster, started in landscape construction around 2010 and founded the company in 2012, running it as an owner-operated crew serving residential and commercial customers across the Cape. Reviewers across Google, Angi and HomeAdvisor — 24 reviews on file, dated from 2018 through 2025 — describe an almost uniformly five-star record built on hardscape and patio work: granite steps and brick or stone patios, driveways with granite or cobblestone borders, retaining walls and walkways come up repeatedly, alongside irrigation installation, yard grading and property cleanups, including landscaping a property for a wedding and clearing storm damage after a 2019 tornado. Reviewers name Sam Dunford directly and consistently describe him as prompt, communicative and professional; several specifically note he explained project scope and pricing honestly rather than pushing unnecessary work, and multiple reviewers say they have used the company repeatedly — for recurring seasonal yard work, for several jobs at one property, or across more than one property over a number of years. The written record here is entirely positive: no negative reviews or complaints appear in the evidence on any of the three platforms, and the accounts tend toward specific, named projects and outcomes rather than generic one-line praise, consistent with a small, owner-run operation. Angi and HomeAdvisor carry the exact same 11 reviews and 4.9-star rating — a byte-identical mirror rather than two independent samples — while Google shows a separate, slightly larger pool of 16 ratings at 5.0 stars. For Cape Cod homeowners looking for patio, driveway, retaining-wall or broader excavation and site work — including septic system installation — from a small, owner-operated crew, Dunford's reviewers describe a contractor worth calling, with Sam Dunford personally handling communication and, per several accounts, laying out scope and cost clearly before work starts.
