About Rich Vertullo Landscaping & Lawncare

In late March, when the Concord River shrugs off the last of its ice and Billerica's lawns come up matted and gray, the spring cleanups begin and the whole town starts over. From the mill streets of North Billerica out along Boston Road, Rich Vertullo Landscaping & Lawncare keeps the calendar honest — weekly mowing and maintenance, beds edged and weeded and laid dark with red hemlock or pine bark, shrubs trimmed back into shape, irrigation woken in April and drained again before the hard cold, and turf tended through the long green middle of the year. There is a builder's pride in the heavier work too: patios, walkways and retaining walls set into stubborn glacial till, new lawns installed, plantings designed and put in on ground meant to hold them. Then a February storm comes across Nutting Lake overnight, and plowing, sanding, shoveling and ice melt open the drives before the first commuter is awake. It is work you can read from the street — the clean edge, the swept walk, the yard that holds its season.
