who we serve
We partner with homeowners whose properties vary widely in scale and setting, from expansive residential estates to thoughtfully composed urban spaces. Some landscapes unfold across open acreage; others are defined by compact settings shaped by history and character. Working across this range has sharpened our ability to listen carefully, observe closely, and plan with intention.
Every property brings a distinct set of conditions and aspirations. We respond by tailoring our approach to the land, the architecture, and the way each homeowner lives outdoors, creating environments that feel purposeful and seamlessly integrated into their surroundings.

what our clients say
★★★★★
“Their creative vision, thoroughness, and professionalism exceeds all expectations. Further, the Blade of Grass team is exceptionally friendly, responsive and easy-going.”
Lindsey M.
Wayland, MA | Houzz
“a Blade of Grass was a joy to work with from beginning to end. They were focused on us the entire process from brainstorming, designing, selecting and installation. We love our new landscaped backyard and know you will too!”
Pamela D.
West Roxbury, MA | Houzz
“They listened to what we wanted and created an oasis where each month we saw different plants blooming with different colors. Our designer was a joy to work with and she truly taught us about plants and flowers through this experience.”
Jaimin P.
Sudbury, MA | Houzz
“The lighting and irrigation team did an amazing job updating the lights around our property, including a wide variety of lighting types to showcase different aspects of the landscape (trees, patio, pond / water feature) - highly recommended!”
John C.
Winchester, MA | Google
“They gave me an accurate budget and timetable up front and pretty much stuck to it - much to my husband's delight. They are not pushy about their services which I truly appreciate and which is why I continue to use them for maintenance, new plantings etc. Would highly recommend them!”
Sunitha D.
Newton, MA | Houzz
“The team from a Blade of Grass did superb work in our yard – we had a very shaded area in our property that we were never able to successfully landscape. Colin and team took a scientific approach to the challenges we faced: the offered advice about improving sun exposure, recommended specific plant types, and then designed a beautiful shade garden with step pathway that has far exceeded our expectations. The staff from the company were a pleasure to work with.”
James J.
Wellesley, MA | Google
“a Blade of Grass transformed our front yard from a barren wasteland of wood chips to a stunningly gorgeous garden. In late 2012, we embarked on a major project to rebuild our backyard and add a pool and patio. The result far exceeded our expectations. Heather and her crew maintain all of our gardens throughout the year, and are very responsive to our questions and requests.”
John H.
Weston, MA | Houzz
“When designing the space Tom considered every detail including privacy concerns, colors, the reuse of existing plants, our likes and dislikes, cost, placement and size of walkways and stairs, shape of pool deck and where snow would be plowed in the winter. The result is a yard we enjoy all year-round. Since its design, the maintenance team at a Blade of Grass has maintained the yard's beauty.”
Dave H.
Waltham, MA | Houzz
“I worked with Blade of Grass for more than 15 years and it was a very pleasurable experience. I so appreciated their attention to detail in creating my beautiful gardens .”
