Landscaping Services Somerville MA | Call Gardens By Ruth

Absolutely. Overgrown shrubs are a common issue in our older Somerville neighborhoods. We provide expert pruning and rejuvenation services to safely cut back plants, restore their shape, and improve sunlight and visibility for your home. If needed, we can also redesign the area with better-suited plants to prevent the problem from recurring.

Tree root damage creates bumpy, patchy lawns that are tough to mow. Instead of just re-sodding over the problem, we assess the area. Solutions can include regrading the soil, installing a creative ground cover or shade-tolerant plants that thrive in rooty areas, or designing a charming mulch path or patio space. We focus on a fix that's both practical and enhances your garden's design.

We start with a consultation at your Somerville home to understand your space, sunlight, and how you want to use your yard. Our design service then creates a plan using native and hardy plants that require less water and care, paired with smart features like mulch beds and defined borders to reduce weeds. We can also set up a maintenance schedule to keep everything looking great with minimal effort from you.
