Boston Landscape & Construction: Reliable Landscaping Serving Tewksbury, MA 01876

Proper snow removal is the first defense. We use careful techniques and designated storage areas to prevent heavy snow piles from smothering and compacting your soil and shrubs all winter. This compaction is a major cause of poor drainage, which leads to moss growth and suffocates shrub roots come spring. Our service protects your landscape's foundation.

Absolutely. Winter damage from snow, ice, and salt is a common culprit for struggling shrubs in our area. We can assess whether damage is from winter stress, disease, or soil issues like compaction from improper snow piling. We offer shrub health evaluations, corrective pruning, soil aeration to relieve compaction, and can recommend hardy, native replacements suited for Tewksbury's climate.

Moss indicates underlying issues like shade, poor drainage, or compacted soil. The first step is a professional evaluation of your property's conditions. Often, the solution involves core aeration to relieve soil compaction (which can be worsened by winter snow), improving drainage, and adjusting soil pH. We then develop a tailored lawn care plan to encourage thick grass that naturally resists moss.
