FAQs
What does a typical landscape design process look like for a Somerville home?
Our process begins with a detailed consultation at your property to understand your vision, the site's conditions, and your budget. We then create a custom design plan that addresses the unique microclimate and soil of your Somerville yard. This plan serves as a clear blueprint for the installation of elements like gardens, patios, or outdoor kitchens. With nearly 25 years of experience, we manage the entire project from sourcing materials to coordinating installation, ensuring a seamless transformation of your outdoor space.
My Somerville lawn has persistent moss, and my rock garden keeps shifting. Can you help?
Absolutely. Moss in Somerville lawns often indicates drainage issues, compacted soil, or excessive shade. We address the root cause by improving soil aeration and drainage, and recommending appropriate grass varieties or alternative ground covers for shady areas. For shifting rock gardens, we assess the underlying soil and base preparation, then properly reset and secure the stones with appropriate edging and foundational materials to create a stable, low-maintenance feature that lasts.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance for the gardens you install?
Yes, we provide comprehensive horticultural garden maintenance to keep your investment thriving. Our maintenance services are tailored to each property and can include seasonal pruning, weeding, fertilization, and care for specialty plantings like kitchen gardens. This proactive care helps maintain plant health, manage pests, and ensures your landscape continues to look its best year after year, adapting to the changing New England seasons.
