New England Tree & Landscape Inc
Commercial & Residential Properties
When you're putting real money into a Property in the North End, you want a landscape company that knows the neighborhood and can handle every phase of the job without cutting corners.
That is exactly what we deliver across the North End and throughout the South Coast, backed by more than 35 years of hands-on experience.
The North End of New Bedford is a working neighborhood with deep roots, defined by tight-knit residential streets, a thriving cultural corridor along Acushnet Avenue, and one of the region's most active industrial zones. From the homes along Mount Pleasant Street and New Plainville Road to the established neighborhoods off Ashley Boulevard, Tarkiln Hill Road, and Belleville Avenue, property owners count on us because we build landscapes that perform in real conditions and stay looking right season after season.
We handle complete landscape projects for residential and commercial clients all over the North End, including many commercial properties in the New Bedford Business Park. Businesses operating in and around the industrial park need grounds that project professionalism and require minimal upkeep, and that is exactly what we deliver. The same standard applies whether we are working on a property along Nash Road, near Brooklawn Park, off Kings Highway, or in the Pine Hill Acres neighborhood further north near Route 140.
Here is what a full project looks like when you work with us: We design your entire outdoor space and then our own crews build it. Site excavation and finish grading. Proper loam delivery and installation. Hardscape construction, including patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Lawn establishment by hydroseeding, traditional seeding, or sod installation. Carefully selected tree and shrub plantings. Clean mulch finishing and final site detailing.
North End properties come with their own set of challenges that require local knowledge. Residential lots along Church Street, Phillips Road, and the streets surrounding Brooklawn Park often deal with grading and drainage issues that need to be solved during construction, not after the first heavy rain turns the yard into a puddle.
Multi-family properties, which are common throughout the Acushnet Avenue corridor and the neighborhoods between Ashley Boulevard and Mount Pleasant Street, need landscaping that holds up under heavy use and does not become a maintenance burden for owners or property managers.
Commercial sites along Kings Highway, near the New Bedford Regional Airport, and throughout the business park corridor require grounds that improve the appearance of the building immediately and stay that way with proper care.
Once the installation is complete, our lawn care programs and ongoing landscape maintenance keep the property looking the way it was designed to look. A large number of our design and build clients stay with us for weekly mowing and seasonal services year after year because they already know our standards and they know we follow through.
Winter protection is part of owning property in Massachusetts, and we take care of that as well. We provide reliable snow removal for North End commercial properties, handling plowing, walkway clearing, and site access management with the same level of detail we bring to landscape construction. Clients who rely on us to design and install their properties also rely on us to keep those properties safe and accessible through every winter storm.
Whether you own a single-family home near Sassaquin Pond, manage a multi-family building off Acushnet Avenue, or operate a commercial facility in the business park, you receive the same careful attention to detail that has earned us the confidence of the most demanding property owners on the South Coast.
One local team. A proven record built over more than three decades. Complete landscape design and installation, standalone landscaping services, lawn care, and snow removal from initial site work through year-round property maintenance across the entire North End of New Bedford.

ABOUT OUR SERVICES
Proper landscape design goes far beyond choosing a few plants and spreading mulch. It is a planning and engineering process. When we design a property in the North End of New Bedford, we begin by assessing the actual site conditions: grade changes, soil composition, how water moves across the property, and available sunlight.
Water management is always addressed first because drainage problems will undermine every other investment you make in the landscape.
Our landscape design plans are built around your objectives, your budget, and how the finished property needs to function day to day. For new construction, we develop complete plans from a blank slate. For existing properties, we design improvements around what is already there. Every plan serves as a detailed blueprint that covers grading, drainage solutions, hardscape layout, irrigation, planting placement, and lawn installation.
Erosion control and drainage planning is where a large number of projects go wrong. When slopes and grades are not engineered correctly, property owners deal with washouts and standing water after the first serious rainstorm. This is a common issue on North End properties along Mount Pleasant Street, in the neighborhoods surrounding Brooklawn Park, and on older residential lots throughout the Acushnet Avenue and Ashley Boulevard corridors, where original grading was never done properly.
We establish correct grades from the start, install drainage systems where conditions demand them, and route water away from foundations and structures so it ends up where it belongs.
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 extends usability and improves safety. We install low-voltage LED systems to illuminate walkways, steps, and outdoor living areas without excessive energy use.
After the design is locked in, we take on the complete installation and construction process that transforms a plan into a finished landscape.
This is the hands-on work that physically reshapes a property and makes it usable for the long term. We also provide ongoing landscape maintenance that keeps properties functioning and looking sharp year after year.
Brush clearing and site preparation are handled first. Overgrown vegetation, invasive species, and unwanted growth are cut back and removed to open the site for construction. All debris is hauled off, so the property is clean and ready for the next phase.
Grading and loaming create the foundation that supports everything built on top of it. We bring in quality loam, shape the property according to the design, and resolve drainage before any permanent features go in.
Many properties throughout the North End, from the residential streets off Church Street and New Plainville Road to commercial parcels near Kings Highway and the New Bedford Business Park, require substantial grading because the existing terrain is rarely suitable for finished landscaping as is.
Hardscaping begins once grades are set. Patios, walkways, retaining walls, and granite steps are installed with proper base preparation, so they hold up through the freeze-thaw cycles that define a Massachusetts winter. We work with pavers, natural stone, and granite depending on site demands, intended use, and budget.
Mulching is completed once all plantings are in the ground. Fresh mulch insulates root systems, regulates soil moisture, suppresses weed growth, and gives planting beds a clean, finished look. Old mulch is removed when necessary, bed edges are cut properly, and new mulch is applied at the correct depth.
Lawn installation is one of the final phases of the project. Once irrigation, planting, and bed work are finished, grass is established around all other completed features. Properties may be finished with traditional seeding, hydroseeding, or sod installation, depending on the timeline, budget, and conditions on the ground.
Ongoing landscaping maintenance preserves the condition and function of a property over time. 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.
North End properties near Brooklawn Park, Sassaquin Pond, and the wooded areas bordering Acushnet benefit especially from consistent perimeter treatments during mosquito season.
Turf that does not receive consistent attention deteriorates quickly. We provide lawn care services for residential and commercial properties throughout the North End of New Bedford and the surrounding South Coast.
Lawn mowing and maintenance covers mowing, edging, trimming, and clearing hard surfaces after every cut. Grass is maintained at proper heights to promote healthy root development and growth. Cutting too low weakens the turf, while allowing it to grow too tall invites weeds and disease pressure. Reliable service means arriving on schedule every week, not whenever it happens to be convenient.
Lawn fertilization and pH adjustment support dense, healthy turf throughout the growing season. Nutrients are applied at the appropriate times, and lime is used when necessary to correct acidic soil conditions that block grass from absorbing fertilizer effectively. Many North End lawns, particularly on older residential properties along Tarkiln Hill Road, Nash Road, and Belleville Avenue, benefit from regular pH correction due to naturally acidic soil.
Lawn aeration and overseeding break up compacted soil and improve turf thickness. Core aeration opens channels for air, water, and nutrient movement into the root zone. Overseeding fills thin or bare patches, while slice seeding and dethatching are brought in when compaction or thatch buildup is too severe for standard aeration alone.
Lawn weed control prevents new weeds from establishing and eliminates existing ones throughout the season. Pre-emergent treatments stop weeds before they have a chance to germinate. Post-emergent treatments target active weeds with precise applications rather than blanket spraying that stresses the surrounding turf.
Lawn pest control deals with grubs, chinch bugs, and other turf-damaging insects that destroy lawns from below the surface. Goose deterrent applications keep geese from tearing up turf before the damage reaches the point of requiring full lawn replacement. Preventative treatments protect lawns before problems develop rather than reacting after the damage is already done.
Lawn disease treatment addresses conditions such as brown patch, dollar spot, and snow mold. Turf diseases are identified early and treated with targeted fungicides to halt the spread and restore lawn health before significant damage sets in.
Commercial and residential properties across the North End of New Bedford need dependable snow removal when winter storms hit. We plow during storms to keep parking lots accessible and reduce hazardous conditions, not hours after the snow stops falling.
Snow plowing keeps parking lots, access roads, and driveways clear so businesses stay operational and residents can move safely. Properties throughout the New Bedford Business Park, along Kings Highway, and in the commercial areas near Route 140 count on us to keep their sites cleared and accessible during every storm.
Snow shoveling and snow blowing maintain walkways, stairs, and entrances so properties remain safe and usable throughout the winter.
De-icing and salting reduce ice accumulation on parking lots, roads, walkways, and entrances. Ice control materials improve traction, prevent refreezing after plowing, and reduce slip-and-fall liability. A plowed surface that is still icy remains a safety hazard. De-icing completes the job and makes the property genuinely safe.
