Groundswell Gardens - Boston's Experienced Landscaping

In Boston's climate, standing water and moss growth often result from poor drainage or soil compaction. Groundswell Gardens tackles this by assessing your yard's specific conditions and implementing solutions like grading adjustments, French drains, or permeable paving in walkways and patios. For moss, we focus on improving soil health and sunlight exposure through aeration, selective pruning of overhanging trees, and recommending native ground covers that thrive in local conditions. Our ecological approach ensures long-term resilience while enhancing your outdoor space.

Whether you have a compact backyard, a rooftop, or just a porch, we offer services like container garden setup, vertical gardening on exterior walls, and custom walkway or patio installations.
