Green City Growers - Somerville's Professional Landscaping

Absolutely. Soil compaction is a common challenge in our urban area. We specialize in creating productive gardens without needing to amend the existing ground soil. Our solution is to install raised-bed gardens filled with a high-quality organic soil blend, which provides excellent drainage and a deep, loose root zone for plants to thrive. This approach bypasses compacted soil entirely, allowing us to grow a successful vegetable garden on patios, driveways, rooftops, or in small, troubled yards.

Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance services to ensure your garden's success through the entire growing season. Our team can handle everything from seasonal planting and organic pest management to shrub and tree care, irrigation system checks, and regular harvesting. Many of our Somerville clients choose a maintenance plan, which allows them to enjoy fresh, homegrown produce without the time commitment, while we manage the details based on over a decade of local experience.

We transform any unused space into a source of fresh food and community engagement. Our projects include rooftop farms for restaurants and businesses, educational garden installations for Somerville schools, and large-scale edible landscaping for residential properties—encompassing patios, walkways, and retaining walls integrated with food production. As a Certified B Corp, we also partner with organizations on community-focused projects that support sustainability and food access throughout the Boston area.
