Greener Grass Landscaping Inc. in Fitchburg

Fitchburg is a granite city on a river, and both facts show up in its yards. The streets climb steeply away from the Nashua River and the old mill corridor, and generations of builders solved that grade with stone — which is why so much of Fitchburg is terraced behind dry-laid granite and fieldstone walls, some of them a century old and many of them now bulging, leaning or missing a top course. Rebuilding a failed wall in this city is one of the most common pieces of hardscape work there is, and the reason the originals moved is almost always the same: no drainage behind the stone.

The Victorians and mill-era houses in the Upper Common and Elm Street neighborhoods sit on narrow, deep lots with mature trees crowded against rooflines and neighbors. Tree work here is climbing and rigging work — there is rarely room to fell anything, and the drop zone is usually someone's porch. Out toward West Fitchburg and the Westminster line, lots open up and the work shifts toward mowing routes, plantings, patios and larger snow accounts.

Greener Grass Landscaping covers Fitchburg residential and commercial property year-round: spring cleanups and mulch, the mowing schedule through the summer, leaf cleanup off a heavy canopy in the fall, and plowing, shoveling and salting once the season turns.
