Landscaping Contractor in Worcester, MA

Greener Grass Landscaping Inc. in Worcester

Worcester is called the City of Seven Hills for a reason, and everything about landscaping here follows from the topography. Streets climb and fall sharply, front yards are frequently a short, steep bank between the sidewalk and the house, and the granite and concrete retaining walls holding those banks up are often as old as the triple-deckers behind them. Where a bank has washed, slumped or lost its wall, the fix is a properly drained retaining wall and a re-grade — not more loam and grass seed, which will be at the bottom of the hill again by the second spring.

The city's lots are small and its parking is on the street, which makes the winter a logistics problem as much as a plowing one: there is nowhere to put snow on a Vernon Hill or Grafton Hill street unless you have thought about it in advance. On the west side — Tatnuck, Salisbury Street, Newton Square — lots get larger, the tree canopy is heavier, and the work looks more like the suburbs: mowing routes, mature-tree pruning, patios and walls.

Worcester also runs on institutions and small commercial property — colleges, medical offices, churches, restaurants along Shrewsbury Street and small plazas on Park Avenue — all of which need grounds that look maintained on a fixed schedule and lots and sidewalks cleared before opening. Greener Grass Landscaping handles both sides of that: residential property care and commercial grounds and snow contracts.
