Professional Landscaping
Talk to us about your garden dreams.
We offer over 50 years of experience, several Boston Flower Show awards, and countless satisfied customers. After shuttering the landscape installation service we ran for 35 years, we have re-initiated our small garden design-build service. Whether it’s expanding an existing garden bed, a Japanese style contemplation garden, or ripping out your lawn and planting a pollinator garden full of beautiful flowers and maybe some vegetables to harvest, we will be happy to consult with you on making your garden dreams come true. We offer consultation, garden design, maintenance including custom fine ornamental pruning, and installation.

As far as we're concerned this is the only Buckwheat Hull mulch for the garden. We originally were attracted to it when we first saw it in use at some of the public gardens and mansions in Newport, Rhode Island over twenty-five years ago. Since that time we have used it in our potting soil mix, to top dress our potted nursery plants and, of course, in the gardens. Buckwheat Hull mulch is recognized as an ideal organic mulch for summer and fall mulching of perennials, vegetables, roses, and for winter bulb and root storage. We have found it to be a great organic soil conditioner as well. Unlike the Canadian, Mid-Western or European mills, Birkett Mills, in the Finger Lake district of New York, double-mills their product, greatly reducing sprouting and blowing possibilities.
Retail customers inquiring about shipping buckwheat to you should be aware that bags weigh about 25 pounds and cost about $25 to ship.
Healthy soil feeds healthy plants! To that end, adding copious amounts of good compost as a top dress should be an annual or semi-annual activity both to rehabilitate tired soil and keep healthy soil healthy. Commercial non-organic (chemical based) fertilizers interfere with and destroy soil micro-organisms, making the plants dependent on chemical intervention. If you don't have a compost pile start one today! If you can't, consider using organic compost like the compost we bring to Seven Arrows by the trailer load.
