# Souza's Land Co. **Trade:** Landscaping · **Address:** PO Box 817, Marstons Mills, MA 02648 · **Phone:** (774) 836-5053 · **Website:** https://souzaslandco.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.5/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 5 sources. ## The honest read Souza's Land Co. is a Marstons Mills landscape and excavation contractor serving a wide swath of Cape Cod, the South Shore and the Islands. Directory listings describe roughly two decades in business — Angi cites 22 years since a 2000 founding, Porch cites 25 — with an owner named Josh appearing directly in customer feedback and on the job site. The clearest praise on record is a detailed 2024 review describing a fiberglass inground pool installation as outstanding: the reviewer credits Josh with being on site every day, patient and thorough about explaining each step, and easy to work with start to finish. A second review recommends the company's stumping and grading work, though it reads as coming from another business referring its own clients' jobs rather than a homeowner. The company's own website is narrowly focused, promoting only swimming pool installation and excavation; the broader landscaping and hardscaping scope — drainage, land clearing, retaining walls, driveways, tree and stump removal — comes entirely from Angi and Porch listings, not from Souza's own site. Review volume is thin: Google shows a 4.3-star average from four ratings but only two review bodies are retrievable, and the business has zero reviews on Angi or HomeAdvisor despite maintaining listings on both. Anyone considering hiring should ask directly about current licensing and insurance status and get references for landscaping or excavation work specifically, since the one detailed review on file is about a pool build. **Strengths:** - Pool installation — one detailed 2024 review called the job outstanding - Owner on site — reviewer says Josh worked the pool job daily **Concerns:** - Thin review history — only two review bodies retrievable despite a 4.3★ average - No directory reviews — zero on Angi or HomeAdvisor despite active listings **Where sources disagree:** - Angi states 22 years of experience with a 2000 founding date, while Porch states 25 years — directory tenure figures disagree by roughly 3-4 years - The business's own website advertises only swimming pool installation and excavation; the broader landscaping/hardscaping service list comes solely from Angi and Porch listings, not from Souza's own site - One Google review (stumping/grading) reads as coming from a trade peer referring its own clients' jobs rather than a direct homeowner customer ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Souza's Land Co.
