Star Landscaping & Design

"Father and son owned. Good people." That was how a commenter on a Cape Cod forum described Star Landscaping & Design in December 2022. The company works out of 172A N Main St in South Yarmouth, and its Better Business Bureau profile dates the business to 1976 — established in Connecticut, BBB says — with four employees. BBB lists the work as lawn maintenance, landscape construction, lawn installation, firewood and snow plowing, and notes the company also trades as Star Landscaping & Firewood. That is a crew built to keep working after the mowing season ends. For a Cape homeowner who wants the same small crew cutting grass in July and clearing the driveway in February, that range is the appeal. Settle two things up front: how plowing is scheduled and billed when a storm hits, and who signs the contract — and ask for a certificate of insurance before the first visit.
