Old Village Landscape

About Old Village Landscape

Early light comes slantwise across Acton — over the old mill row at South Acton, along the stone walls that run off into white pine, down to where Nashoba Brook goes about its business under the road. That is the hour Old Village Landscape begins: electric mowers moving quiet through wet grass, beds cut to a clean edge, organic lawn care asking a yard to hold its own color deep into August. Their work runs from master planning, consultation and design through landscape construction and installation, and on into hardscaping — walls, walkways and patios set stone by stone until a slope stays put and a path finally decides where you will walk. Residential gardens, commercial grounds, urban installations: the same attention, scaled to whatever the ground asks for. By evening the shadows stretch back long over a lawn that looks as though it was always meant to sit exactly that way, and that is the whole satisfaction of the trade.
