Chop Chop Landscaping

About Chop Chop Landscaping

A mower comes around the corner of a triple-decker yard and leaves stripes running clean to the fence line — that small, ordinary order that makes a whole block sit up straighter. Chop Chop Landscaping works Boston's narrow lots and heavy clay ground, mowing and maintaining lawns, laying sod and hydroseed, spreading mulch and pea gravel, setting stone and driveway pavers, building fences and sheds, wiring landscape lighting, aerating in the shoulder weeks and carrying off the yard clean-up that each turn of the year piles up. Come the hard months, when harbor wind stacks drifts against the curb cuts, the work is snow removal — walks and drives opened while the streetlights are still burning. The map runs from Charlestown and Dorchester out through Cambridge, Somerville, Chelsea, Brookline, Newton, Quincy and Waltham, hill and flat, brick and salt light. Yards here hold their shape because somebody stood in them and made them.
