A stormwater project that other contractors declined was completed by Trades Enterprises, according to a March 2025 customer. The reviewer described dry wells, groundwater recharge and a complicated stormwater system on a three-acre parcel. They said the work took months, John coordinated well with the general contractor building the house, and there were no hidden charges. They also praised his handling of the parts of the project where the budget was tight. Trades Enterprises is based in East Sandwich. The company describes itself as a veteran-owned Cape Cod excavation and site-work contractor, offering demolition, earthwork, trenching, retaining walls, landscaping, marine and dock construction, and waterline, sewer and septic projects. In a December 2025 review, a Falmouth homeowner said John and his team worked on a substantial home addition, with Trades Enterprises installing a new septic system and foundation and carrying out drainage engineering around the property. An April 2025 customer described five years of hiring John for hardscape work: two stone driveway installations, multiple leveling and grading projects, and septic-system design for a new home. A separate April 2025 reviewer described a muddy yard being transformed through raised elevation and added substrate, making it usable without their previous concern about erosion. An October 2025 customer who had hired John for multiple jobs at a home and farm praised his punctuality and reliability. Google shows a 5-star average from five ratings.

I’ve hired John for multiple jobs at my home/farm. Great work, professional, on time, and always shows up! Highly recommend
I have been a customer of John for the past 5 years and will continue to be for all of my future hardscape construction needs. We have had 2 stone driveway installations, multiple land leveling & grading projects, and John designed a septic system for our new home. His attention to detail, knowledge & skill make working with him incredibly easy and he’s a great guy. Thank you John for all that you’ve done for us.
John was on hand and knew the job i wanted done better than i did. Our yard was a mud pit and he completed transformed the landscape raised elevation and really gave us our dream yard. We added substrate that allowed us to use the yard and not worry about erosion. Definitely trust this man to take creative freedom in reforming your yard! John Foy knows best!!
John was fantastic to work with. Trades Enterprises did the dry well/ground water recharges for our new home, and did a complicated stormwater system for my 3 acre parcel. Other contractors came over and punted when they saw how complex it was. John was unfazed and came up with some innovative, good looking, and functional solutions. The project took months, and john worked well with the GC doing the house build. No hidden charges and john did well on budget sensitive parts of the project. Not only is John very easy to work with, but his aesthetic eye and operator skills are excellent. 100% recommend!
