Landscaping Services That Transform Your Property

Simply call us or fill out our online form to schedule a free on-site consultation. We'll visit your property, discuss your goals, assess site conditions, and provide a detailed proposal within a week of our visit—including design concepts, materials, timeline, and pricing. There's no obligation—just an honest conversation about what's possible.

Landscaping costs vary significantly based on project scope, material selection, and site conditions. Basic landscape installations typically start around $5,000-$15,000, while comprehensive design-build projects with hardscaping, irrigation, plantings, and outdoor living features commonly range from $30,000 to well over $100,000. We provide detailed, itemized estimates after our on-site consultation so you know exactly what you're investing in.

Spring (April-June) and fall (September-October) are ideal for most landscaping work in southeastern Massachusetts. Cooler temperatures and adequate rainfall help plants establish. Fall is actually our best planting season—cooler temperatures reduce transplant shock while soil remains warm enough for root growth. However, hardscape work and site preparation can happen throughout the construction season. We can advise on optimal timing during your consultation.

Timeline depends on project scope and complexity. Simple plantings might take a few days. Mid-size projects with some hardscaping typically run 1-2 weeks. Major landscape transformations can take 3-6 weeks. We provide realistic timeline expectations based on your specific project during the proposal phase, and we build weather contingencies into our scheduling.

Yes. Contrast Landscape maintains all required licenses for landscape and construction work in Massachusetts, along with comprehensive general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We're registered as a Home Improvement Contractor with the state. We're happy to provide certificates of insurance upon request, and we can name your property as additional insured for commercial contracts.

We stand behind our work with warranties on both plant material and installation. Specific warranty terms depend on the type of work and materials involved—we'll explain exactly what's covered in your proposal. Our goal is long-term results, not just installation day aesthetics.

Yes. For larger projects, we provide 3D renderings so you can visualize the finished landscape before we begin. This eliminates the 'that's not what I pictured' conversations and helps you make confident decisions about your investment.

Yes. We offer seasonal maintenance programs to keep your landscape looking its best year-round. This includes spring cleanups, mulch replenishment, pruning, seasonal color plantings, fall preparation, and winterization. Whether we installed your landscape or you want to maintain an existing one, we can create a maintenance program tailored to your property's needs.

That's completely normal—and it's exactly what our consultation is for. Most homeowners know they want their yard to 'look better' but aren't sure what that means in specific design terms. We'll walk your property together, discuss how you use your outdoor space, and help you identify what's possible. Our 3D design service lets you see options before committing to anything.

Absolutely. Not every project requires starting from scratch. During our consultation, we assess what's working in your current landscape and what isn't. Healthy, well-placed plants can be incorporated into a new design or transplanted elsewhere on your property. Overgrown or struggling plantings might need removal. We'll give you honest feedback about what makes sense to keep and what should go.

Yes, drainage is a core part of proper landscaping. Water pooling, foundation moisture, and erosion are all addressable through proper grading, drainage system installation, and strategic plantings. During your consultation, we assess your drainage situation and include appropriate solutions in the design. Ignoring drainage issues leads to bigger problems—addressing them during landscape work is the most efficient approach.

We select plants rated for USDA Hardiness Zone 6b/7a (southeastern Massachusetts) from reputable wholesale nurseries with properly developed root systems. We also consider your specific site conditions—sun exposure, soil type, drainage—when making selections. Popular choices include rhododendrons, hydrangeas, ornamental grasses, and native perennials. Poor plant choices are one of the most common mistakes we see—we know what thrives here.

Absolutely. Studies consistently show that quality landscaping can increase property values by 5-15%. Beyond resale value, good landscaping improves curb appeal, reduces energy costs (through strategic tree placement), and creates outdoor living space that extends your usable square footage.

Yes. We work with property managers and HOAs throughout southeastern Massachusetts. We understand the communication requirements, documentation needs, and accountability expectations that come with commercial accounts. You get a single point of contact, consolidated reporting, and consistent service standards.

We offer flexible contract structures based on your needs—annual maintenance agreements, seasonal programs, or project-based work. Our contracts clearly define scope of work, service frequency, pricing, and performance standards. We believe in transparency: you'll know exactly what's included, what triggers additional charges, and how we measure success.

Our commercial maintenance programs typically include regular mowing, edging, pruning, seasonal cleanups, mulching, and fertilization. We customize programs based on your property's needs and can include additional services like irrigation management, seasonal color rotations, and snow removal.

Commercial properties have different requirements: timing around business operations, documentation for property management records, insurance certificates with proper endorsements, multi-property coordination, and emphasis on reliability over one-time aesthetics. We understand that commercial clients need vendors who show up consistently, communicate proactively, and don't require constant oversight.

Yes. We work with property owners and managers with multiple properties across southeastern Massachusetts. Multi-property accounts benefit from consistent service standards, streamlined communication, and coordinated scheduling.

Yes. We offer integrated snow and ice management services for commercial properties. This includes snow plowing for parking lots and driveways, sidewalk clearing, de-icing applications, and 24/7 monitoring during winter weather events. Having one vendor handle both landscaping and snow services means better site knowledge, coordinated scheduling, and year-round accountability.

Absolutely. We carry full liability coverage and workers' compensation insurance and provide certificates of insurance as part of any commercial engagement. We can name property owners as additional insured as required by your policies or lease agreements. We also provide references from current commercial clients upon request—and we encourage you to contact them.
