About Blake Landscaping Co.

Blake Landscaping Co. keeps the yards of Arlington — the hillside lots above Spy Pond, the deep narrow strips behind the Heights, the small green squares along the Minuteman path where the old rail bed runs east toward the Mystic. The work is mowing and edging and lawn maintenance, bush trimming, fertilizing, and plantings put in with an eye toward what the yard will look like in July. Spring clean-ups pull the winter's weight off the beds; fall clean-ups gather what the maples let go, and the grass is left breathing again. There's a real satisfaction in a finished edge — that clean line where lawn meets walk, holding its shape while the light comes down long over Robbins Farm and the roofs below. The crew works out from Arlington into Belmont, Waltham, Newton, Winchester, Woburn, Medford, Stoneham, Lexington, Billerica, and Burlington, one yard at a time.
