Question Answers
Can you help with a muddy, poorly draining yard in Boston?
Absolutely. Poor drainage is a common issue here. We address it with landscaping solutions like installing proper retaining walls and constructing permeable patios or walkways with quality masonry. These features not only look great but are designed to redirect water flow and protect your property's foundation from water damage.
My shrubs are overgrown and blocking windows. What services do you offer?
We provide full shrub care to restore order and health to your landscape. This includes professional pruning and trimming to manage growth, complete shrub removal if necessary, and transplanting to better locations. For persistent issues, we also offer insect management to keep your plants healthy and prevent future overgrowth problems.
Do you handle both the hardscaping and planting for a new landscape design?
Yes, we're a true full-service provider. Our team handles the entire project, from the initial design and masonry work for driveways, walls, and patios, to the greenscape construction, shrub planting, and ongoing lawn care. This integrated approach ensures a cohesive, durable, and beautiful result that solves functional problems while enhancing your home's appeal.
