New England Tree & Landscape

At New England Tree & Landscape, great outdoor spaces start with great landscape design, and we handle everything that comes after.

Serving Dartmouth from our nearby Fairhaven location, we specialize in transforming new construction sites and existing properties throughout this diverse coastal community.

Dartmouth is one of the largest towns in Massachusetts by area, encompassing rural farmland, suburban neighborhoods, busy commercial corridors, and scenic coastal villages. From Padanaram Village's waterfront charm to North Dartmouth's commercial centers and

South Dartmouth's residential streets have distinct landscape needs.

Whether you're building on a large lot in rural Dartmouth, renovating a property near Dartmouth Mall or the UMass Dartmouth campus, upgrading a waterfront home in Padanaram or South Dartmouth, or developing commercial property along Route 6, Faunce Corner Road, or State Road, our landscape design adapts to Dartmouth's varied terrain and property types.

Here's how it works: We design your complete outdoor space, then execute it. That means excavation when needed, grading for proper drainage, adding quality loam, installing hardscaping (patios, walkways, stone walls), setting up irrigation systems, establishing lawns (hydroseeding, seeding, or sod installation), selecting and planting trees and shrubs, and finishing with fresh mulch.

After installation, our lawn care and ongoing landscape maintenance keep your property healthy and beautiful year-round. And when snow hits Dartmouth, our snow removal services protect your investment and keep your property accessible.

One local team. One cohesive landscape design. Complete landscaping services from excavation to maintenance, serving Dartmouth residential and commercial properties for over 35 years.
