New England Tree & Landscape Inc
Commercial & Residential Properties
When you invest in your property, you want the finished result to look complete. A healthy lawn, well-placed plantings, stonework that fits the property, and a landscape that was planned and built the right way from the beginning. New England Tree & Landscape has been delivering that kind of work across the South Coast for more than 35 years.
We provide complete landscape design, landscaping, lawn care, hardscaping, and snow removal services. Some clients hire us to design and build the entire landscape for a new home or major property renovation. Others call us for individual projects like patios, hydroseeding, sod installation, grading, brush clearing, planting, or ongoing lawn care and maintenance.
​​
Over the years we’ve designed and installed complete landscapes for Olympic gold medalist Jim Craig and many other homeowners who wanted one experienced crew to handle everything. Instead of hiring one company for design, another for grading, another for patios and hardscaping, and another for planting, they chose one proven team that could manage the entire project from start to finish.
​
That same trust extends beyond residential properties. For decades we have provided landscaping and weekly lawn care services for Titleist / Acushnet Company, a long-standing relationship built on consistent work and dependable service year after year.
​
Our process is simple. We design the outdoor space, then we build it. Our team handles excavation and grading, installs quality loam, constructs patios and walkways, builds stone walls and other hardscaping features, installs lawns through hydroseeding, seeding, or sod, and completes the landscape with carefully selected trees, shrubs, and fresh mulch.
​
Once installation is complete, our lawn care and landscaping services keep the property looking its best season after season. Many of our design clients continue working with us for weekly mowing and seasonal maintenance years later because they trust our standards.
​
During the winter months, we also provide commercial snow removal services including plowing, clearing, and site access. The same clients who trust us to build and maintain their properties rely on us to keep them accessible during New England winters.
​
From our location on Huttleston Avenue in Fairhaven, we serve properties across the South Coast including Marion, Dartmouth, Acushnet, Rochester, and New Bedford.

ABOUT OUR SERVICES
​Landscape Design Plans
Our landscape design plans account for your goals, your budget, and how the finished property should function and look. For new construction, we create complete designs from the ground up. For existing properties, we design around what is already in place. Every plan serves as a clear blueprint covering grading, drainage, hardscaping, irrigation, plant placement, and lawn installation.
​
Yard Drainage Solutions
Drainage problems are one of the most common issues on South Coast properties. Poor water movement can lead to standing water, soil erosion, and damage to lawns, plantings, and hardscaping. We evaluate how water moves across the property and install drainage systems that control runoff and direct water away from structures.
​
Erosion Control Services
Erosion control is where many landscape projects fail when it is not addressed early. When slopes are not handled correctly, the first heavy storm can cause washouts and runoff damage. This is especially common on coastal and hillside properties throughout the South Coast. We shape grades correctly, stabilize soil, and install solutions that prevent erosion and protect the landscape over time.
​
Plant Selection and Installation
Plant selection and installation are based on real site conditions. Sun exposure, soil type, drainage, water access, and maintenance expectations all determine what is planted and where. We install plant material that survives local conditions instead of failing after one season.
​
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting extends usability and improves safety. We install low-voltage LED systems to illuminate walkways, steps, and outdoor living areas without excessive energy use.
Brush Clearing and Site Preparation
Brush clearing and site preparation come first. Overgrown brush, invasive vegetation, and unwanted growth are cleared and removed to open up the site. All debris is hauled away so the property is clean, accessible, and ready for construction.
​
Yard Grading and Loam Spreading
Yard grading and loam spreading establish the foundation for everything that follows. We bring in quality loam, shape the land to match the design, and address drainage before permanent features are installed. Many new construction sites in Fairhaven, Marion, and surrounding South Coast communities require significant grading because land is rarely left ready for landscaping.
​
Mulching
Mulching is completed after planting. Fresh mulch protects roots, regulates soil moisture, suppresses weeds, and gives beds a finished appearance. Old mulch is removed when needed, bed edges are reset, and new mulch is installed at the correct depth.
​
Grass Seeding
Grass seeding is a cost-effective way to establish new lawns when conditions and watering schedules allow for proper germination.
​
Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding is often used on larger areas and new construction sites where fast, even coverage is needed.
​
Sod Installation
Sod installation provides an instant lawn and is often used when homeowners want immediate results or stronger early-season establishment.
​
Spring Cleanups
Spring cleanups remove winter debris, clear beds, edge borders, and prepare properties for the growing season.
​
Fall Cleanups
Fall cleanups remove leaves, cut back plants when appropriate, and prepare the property for winter conditions.
​
Storm Debris Removal
Storm debris removal clears downed branches, wind-blown debris, and damaged material after heavy weather so the property remains safe and usable.
​
Tree and Shrub Care
Tree and shrub care includes pruning, shaping, and maintenance that protects the health and structure of plant material across the landscape.
​
Mosquito Control
Mosquito control is applied along wooded edges, damp areas, and property perimeters where mosquito populations tend to build throughout the season.
Lawn Mowing and Maintenance
Lawn mowing and maintenance includes mowing, edging, trimming, and clearing hard surfaces. Grass is cut at proper heights to support strong root growth and healthy turf. Cutting too short weakens grass and causes summer stress, while letting it grow too long encourages weeds and moisture problems. Consistent weekly service keeps lawns looking clean and controlled across properties throughout Fairhaven, including neighborhoods along Huttleston Avenue, Sconticut Neck Road, and Adams Street.
​
Lawn Fertilization and pH Adjustment
Lawn fertilization and pH adjustment support thick, healthy turf. Nutrients are applied on the proper schedule, and lime is added when soil becomes too acidic for grass to absorb fertilizer effectively. Soil conditions can vary widely across Fairhaven, particularly near coastal areas along Sconticut Neck Road and in residential neighborhoods off Main Street and Route 6 where sandy soil and salt exposure affect turf health.
​
Lawn Aeration and Overseeding
Lawn aeration and overseeding relieve soil compaction and rebuild thinning lawns. Core aeration opens the soil so water, oxygen, and nutrients can reach the root zone. Overseeding adds new grass to worn areas and helps the lawn thicken naturally over time. These services are especially helpful for older lawns throughout Fairhaven neighborhoods near Green Street, Huttleston Avenue, and the surrounding residential areas where years of foot traffic compact the soil.
​
Lawn Dethatching
Lawn dethatching removes the thick layer of dead grass and organic material that builds up between the soil and the living turf. When thatch becomes too heavy, water and nutrients struggle to reach the root zone. Removing that buildup helps lawns recover and improves overall turf health across Fairhaven properties.
​
Lawn Slice Seeding
Lawn slice seeding is used when a lawn has thinned significantly or when overseeding alone will not restore density. A specialized machine cuts narrow grooves into the soil and places seed directly into the ground, allowing for stronger germination and faster lawn recovery.
​
Lawn Weed Control
Lawn weed control prevents and eliminates weeds throughout the growing season. Pre-emergent treatments stop many weeds before they sprout, while post-emergent applications target weeds already growing without stressing healthy turf. This is especially important for properties near coastal Fairhaven neighborhoods where open lawns and sandy soil allow weeds to spread quickly.
​
Lawn Pest Control
Lawn pest control addresses grubs, chinch bugs, and other insects that damage turf from below the surface. Preventative treatments protect lawns before major damage occurs, while goose deterrent applications help prevent turf destruction on open properties, particularly near Buzzards Bay and coastal areas along Sconticut Neck.
​
Lawn Disease Treatment
Lawn disease treatment addresses issues such as brown patch, dollar spot, and snow mold. Turf diseases are identified early and treated with targeted fungicides to stop the spread before major damage occurs. Disease pressure is more common in shaded areas and lawns with poor airflow, which can affect many Fairhaven neighborhoods along tree-lined streets such as Adams Street, Main Street, and nearby residential areas.
Snow Plowing
Snow plowing keeps commercial parking lots and access roads open so businesses can continue operating during winter storms. We plow during active snowfall to prevent snow from becoming packed down by traffic and turning into ice. Reliable plowing is essential for commercial properties throughout Fairhaven and nearby business areas in New Bedford and along Route 6 where access must remain open for customers and employees.
​
Snow Shoveling and Snow Blowing
Snow shoveling and snow blowing keep walkways, entrances, stairs, and pedestrian paths clear so people can move safely around the property. These areas require more detailed clearing than parking lots and are especially important for businesses with steady foot traffic across Fairhaven and surrounding South Coast communities.
​
De-Icing and Salting
De-icing and salting prevent cleared surfaces from turning into dangerous ice. Ice control materials are applied to parking areas, walkways, and entrances to improve traction and reduce refreezing after plowing. This step is critical for commercial properties throughout Fairhaven and nearby areas where winter temperatures frequently drop overnight, creating black ice on untreated surfaces.
Hardscaping Services
​
Patio Installation
Patios create outdoor living space where homeowners can relax, cook, and spend time outside with family and friends. Paver and natural stone patios provide durable surfaces that hold up to South Coast weather when built with proper excavation, compacted base material, and drainage planning. Many Fairhaven homes near Sconticut Neck, West Island, and along Huttleston Avenue benefit from well-built patios that create usable outdoor gathering space close to the water.
​
Walkway Installation
Walkways make it easier and safer to move through your property while also improving the overall appearance of the landscape. Stone and paver walkways connect patios, driveways, entrances, and gardens while helping the yard feel more organized and functional. Properties throughout Fairhaven Center, Oxford Village, and neighborhoods near Main Street often add walkways to improve access between driveways, front entrances, and backyard areas.
​
Driveway Installation
Driveways built with pavers or crushed stone provide durable surfaces that hold up under vehicle traffic and winter conditions. Proper base preparation and edge containment help driveways withstand freeze–thaw cycles and coastal moisture common in Fairhaven, especially in areas closer to Sconticut Neck, West Island, and homes near Buzzards Bay where soil movement and salt exposure affect traditional paved surfaces.
​
Retaining Wall Construction
Retaining walls stabilize slopes, prevent erosion, and create level spaces where patios, lawns, and planting beds can be installed. Proper drainage and base preparation keep retaining walls stable over time. Many properties around Nasketucket Bay, East Fairhaven, and neighborhoods off Huttleston Avenue use retaining walls to manage elevation changes and improve how the yard can be used.
​
Granite and Stone Steps
Granite and natural stone steps provide safe access between different elevations on a property. These steps are designed to handle heavy use and New England weather while improving both function and appearance. Stone steps are especially useful on Fairhaven properties with grade changes near West Island, Sconticut Neck, and the residential areas surrounding Fairhaven Center.
​
Seating Wall Construction
Seating walls add built-in seating around patios and outdoor living areas. In addition to creating places to gather, they help define the layout of outdoor spaces and reinforce surrounding hardscape structures. Many homeowners throughout Oxford Village, Main Street neighborhoods, and areas near Huttleston Avenue add seating walls to create more functional backyard spaces.
​
Stone Veneer Installation
Stone veneer can be installed on foundations, columns, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and other structures to add texture and character. Veneer work improves curb appeal while protecting surfaces from weather exposure. Homes across Fairhaven Center, East Fairhaven, and neighborhoods near Nasketucket Bay often use stone veneer to upgrade exterior features.
​
Fire Pit Construction
Fire pits create a central gathering area for outdoor spaces and extend how often a patio can be used throughout the year. Whether woodburning or gas, fire pits are designed to complement surrounding hardscaping and withstand coastal weather conditions. Fire pits are a popular addition for properties near West Island, Sconticut Neck, and the waterfront areas of Fairhaven where outdoor spaces are used throughout the warmer months.
