Landscaping Services In Newton, Ma - Commercial & Residential Landscape Company

Spring Clean-Up

Spring clean-up is probably the most importent service we do all year. After a New England winter, your property needs serious help getting back in shape.

We're talking about removing all the leaves and debris that sat there since fall. Raking out the beds where everything got matted down. Cutting back the dead stuff from last years plants. Getting the grass ready to actually grow instead of just sitting there looking brown and patchy.

A lot of properties in Newton have older landscaping with established beds around the buildings. These areas collect so much junk over winter - broken branches, trash that blew in, piles of wet leaves that turned into muck. We clean all that out so your beds can breath again.

We also edge everything out nice so there's clear lines between your grass and beds. Trim up any shrubs that got damaged or overgrown. Apply mulch if you want it. The goal is your property looks intentional again instead of like nobody's touched it in six months.

Timing matters alot with spring cleanup in Newton. Wait to long and your competing with everything growing like crazy. Do it to early when the grounds still frozen and you cant do it right. We usually hit properties in late March or early April depending on how the weathers going that year.

Fall Clean-Up

Fall cleanup is the other big seasonal push. And honestly, its even more work than spring in alot of cases. The trees around Newton drop leaves for weeks, sometimes into early December.

We come through and get all those leaves off your grass and out of your beds. If you leave them sitting there, your grass suffocates and you'll have dead patches everywhere come spring. Plus wet leaves just look bad and can get slippery on walkways.

The other thing about fall is cutting everything back before winter. Perennials that are done for the season, ornamental grasses that died off, anuals that froze - all that needs to come out. We also clean up any sticks and branches that came down during storms.

Properties in areas like Chestnut Hill and Waban have alot of mature trees. Those are great for shade and property value but man do they drop leaves. Some of our commercial clients need multiple visits in fall just to keep up with it all.

We usually do fall cleanups in November, sometimes into early December if the weather holds. Getting it done before the first real snow is key because once that happens your stuck with whatever mess is under there until spring.

Bi-Weekly Weeding

This is the service that really keeps everything looking maintained between the big seasonal cleanups. Weeds are relentless around here, especially June through September.

We come every two weeks and pull weeds from all your beds and around edges. Hand-pulling mostly, sometimes spot-treating with herbicide if that's what you want. The key is staying ahead of them before they go to seed and make your problem ten times worse.

A lot of property owners try to keep up with weeding themselves but it just doesn't happen consistently. You get busy, it rains for a week straight, suddenly the weeds are out of control. When we're on a bi-weekly schedule, they never get that chance to establish.

Newton's got alot of different weed problems depending on what part of town your in and what kind of soil you have. Crabgrass in the lawns, creeping charlie, that stuff that spreads runners everywhere. In the beds you get tree seedlings, dandelions, all kinds of broadleaf weeds. We know what we're looking at and how to deal with it.

The difference between weeded beds and beds that aren't weeded is night and day. Weeded beds show off your plants and mulch, everything looks intentional. Weedy beds just look neglected no matter what else you do.
