If you’re building or upgrading a yard in Acushnet, the biggest mistake is starting the work before the design is right.
For over 35 years, we’ve helped property owners across Acushnet and the South Coast turn rough lots, outdated yards, and new construction sites into finished outdoor spaces that look clean, function correctly, and hold up for the long term.
From larger properties off Lake Street and Parting Ways Road to established homes near Acushnet Center and the roads leading toward Fairhaven and Rochester, clients trust us because we don’t treat landscaping like a quick job. We start with a complete landscape design, then we handle the installation ourselves so the finished result matches the plan.
We’ve designed and installed complete landscapes for Olympic gold medalist Jim Craig and many other homeowners who wanted one company responsible for the entire project. They didn’t want to juggle different contractors for design, grading, hardscaping, planting, and lawn installation. They wanted one proven team that could handle every phase under one roof, because we’re the ones doing the work.
That same long-term trust isn’t limited to residential properties. We’ve also been providing landscaping and weekly lawn care for Titleist / Acushnet Company for decades, which reflects the level of consistency and professionalism we bring to every property we maintain.
Here’s how it works: we start with a complete landscape design, then we handle the full installation. We handle excavation and final grading, quality loam installation, and hardscaping such as patios, walkways, and stone walls. We install the lawn through hydroseeding, seeding, or sod, then select and plant the right trees and shrubs to fit the property. We finish with clean mulch work and final detailing so the landscape looks complete, not halfway done.
After the installation is complete, our lawn care services and ongoing landscaping keep your property looking the way it was designed to. Many of our design clients, including Jim Craig, still rely on us for weekly mowing and seasonal maintenance years later because they know our standards and they know we stand behind our work.
Winter is part of protecting a property in Massachusetts, and we handle that too. We provide professional snow removal for Acushnet commercial properties, managing plowing, clearing, and site access with the same professionalism we bring to landscape construction. Clients who trust us to design and build their properties trust us to keep them protected and accessible all winter.
Whether you're in Acushnet, Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, Dartmouth, Rochester, New Bedford, or surrounding towns, and whether you're working with a substantial budget or a more modest investment, you get the same attention to detail that’s earned us the trust of some of the most particular property owners in the area.

ABOUT OUR SERVICES
Real landscape design is not just picking plants and spreading mulch. It is engineering. When we design a property in Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, or Rochester, we start by evaluating the site conditions: slope, soil type, drainage patterns, and sun exposure. Drainage is addressed first because poor water management undermines everything else.
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.
Erosion control and drainage planning is where many projects fail. When slopes are not designed correctly, homeowners experience washouts after the first heavy rain. This is especially common on coastal and hillside properties throughout the South Coast. We design grades properly, install drainage systems where needed, and direct water away from structures so it goes where it should.
Once the design is finalized, we handle the full installation and construction process that turns plans into a finished landscape. This is the physical work that reshapes properties and makes them usable long-term. We also provide ongoing landscape maintenance to keep properties functional and maintained year after year.
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 and ready for construction.
Grading and loaming establish the foundation for everything that follows. We bring in quality loam, grade the property 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.
Hardscaping follows once grades are set. Patios, walkways, retaining walls, and granite steps are built with proper base preparation, so they remain stable through freeze-thaw cycles. We install pavers, natural stone, and granite based on site conditions, use, and budget. Commercial properties along Route 6 in New Bedford and Dartmouth often require hardscaping designed for heavier traffic, while residential projects prioritize durability and appearance.
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.
Mulching is completed after planting. Fresh mulch protects roots, regulates moisture, suppresses weeds, and gives beds a finished appearance. Old mulch is removed, when necessary, beds are edged properly, and new mulch is installed at the correct depth.
Lawn installation comes near the end of the project. Once irrigation, planting, and bed work are complete, grass is installed around everything else. Properties may be finished with traditional seeding, hydroseeding, or sod installation depending on timeline, budget, and site conditions.
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.
Ongoing landscaping maintenance keeps properties functional long-term. This includes spring and fall cleanups, storm debris removal, bed edging, pruning, mulch refreshes, tree and shrub care, and mosquito control along property perimeters and wooded edges.
Lawns require consistent care or they deteriorate quickly. We provide lawn care services for residential and commercial properties throughout Fairhaven, Mattapoisett, and surrounding South Coast communities.
Lawn mowing and maintenance includes mowing, edging, trimming, and clearing hard surfaces. Grass is cut at proper heights to promote healthy growth. Cutting too short stresses turf, while letting it grow too long encourages weeds and disease. Reliable service means showing up on schedule, not when it is convenient.
Lawn fertilization and pH adjustment support thick, healthy turf. Nutrients are applied at the right times, and lime is used when necessary to correct acidic soil conditions that prevent grass from absorbing fertilizer properly.
Lawn aeration and overseeding relieve soil compaction and improve turf density. Core aeration increases air, water, and nutrient movement. Overseeding fills thin areas, while slice seeding and dethatching are used when compaction or thatch buildup is severe.
Lawn weed control prevents and eliminates weeds throughout the season. Pre-emergent treatments stop weeds before they germinate. Post-emergent treatments control existing weeds using targeted applications instead of blanket spraying.
Lawn pest control addresses grubs, chinch bugs, and other turf-damaging insects. Goose deterrent applications are used to keep geese off lawns before turf is destroyed. Preventative treatments protect lawns from damage that would otherwise require full replacement.
Lawn disease treatment addresses issues such as brown patch, dollar spot, and snow mold. Turf diseases are diagnosed early and treated with targeted fungicides to stop spread and restore lawn health before major damage occurs.
Commercial properties in Fairhaven, New Bedford, and across the South Coast need dependable snow removal during winter storms. We plow during storms to keep parking lots accessible and reduce hazardous conditions, not hours after snowfall ends.
Snow plowing clears parking lots and access roads so businesses remain open. Snow shoveling and snow blowing maintain walkways, stairs, and entrances to keep properties safe and usable.
De-icing and salting reduce ice buildup on parking lots, roads, walkways, and entrances. Ice control materials improve traction, prevent refreezing, and reduce liability. A plowed lot with ice is still a safety risk. De-icing completes the job.
