Landscaping Contractor in Chelmsford, MA

Greener Grass Landscaping Inc. in Chelmsford

Chelmsford sits on the sandy, gravelly ground the glaciers left through the Merrimack Valley, and that soil drives the maintenance program. It drains fast — which is good news for patios, walkways and wall bases, and bad news for turf in a dry August, when a lawn on outwash sand browns off weeks before a lawn on the heavier soils west of here. Mowing height, feeding and realistic expectations about summer color all follow from that.

The town's tree cover is predominantly white pine and oak, and both shed heavily. Pine needles acidify and mat down in beds; oak leaves arrive late and in volume. Fall cleanup in Chelmsford is rarely a single visit, and the properties that look good in April are the ones that were cleared properly in November rather than left under a wet mat all winter.

Along Route 129 and the Route 3 interchanges, Chelmsford's office and research parks need contract grounds care and winter service — big turf panels, island beds, long access drives and lots that have to be open early. Greener Grass Landscaping handles those alongside the residential routes in Westlands, Chelmsford Center, South Chelmsford and Vinal Square.
