Parterre Garden Services

About Parterre Garden Services

It begins in the hands — a spade turned into wet spring soil, secateurs clicking down a hedge line, the patient back-and-forth of maintenance across a bed that had gone loose in the rain. Parterre Garden Services works out of Billerica, where the Concord River loops slow past the pines and the old Middlesex Canal still traces its ghost through the woods, and carries that same attention into gardens through Greater Boston, Somerville and Brookline among them. The work runs from planning and design to meadow installation, native plant restoration, invasive plant management, green infrastructure, and the fine gardening that keeps a border legible plant by plant — with irrigation and lighting, and containers dressed for the holidays. What's left behind is a place that reads as itself: little bluestem leaning in an August wind, a crisp edge holding its line along the walk, a yard that keeps its shape well into the gray months.
