About us

SAVE TODAY when you sign up for one of our ANNUAL PROGRAMS! Organic Soil Solutions is an all organic lawn care company based in Woburn, MA serving the Boston area to Route 495 since 1999. We use a completely organic and proactive approach to plant and soil health care. The Organic Soil Solutions program renews, revitalizes, corrects and conditions your soil and healthy living soil means healthy thriving trees, shrubs and lawns. To preserve your investment in your landscape, your soil must come first. Organic Soil Solutions was started by Boston Tree Preservation when they noticed the trees and shrubs on properties treated with lawn chemicals were less healthy than others. I hired the company to take care of the trees where I worked and the lawn at my house. When my wife and I were looking for a small business, we naturally gravitated toward organics, an interest we had shared for years in food and gardening. I ended up working for Boston Tree Preservation and managing Soil Solutions. In 2003, we bought the organic lawn care company. Organic soil solutions offers organic lawn care service to make your lawn happy and healthy.

Description of Work: Mike and his crew managed to remove a sea of plantain weeds and plant grass seed that has come up beautifully. My lawn has not looked this good in years. If I can afford it I will continue to use this company for lawn maintenance.

Description of Work: I paid for 4 hrs. of landscaping (or 2 men for 2 hours). I specified that I wanted to be home when they showed up, so I could show them what to do. They got to my house hours late, and I was not home. They weeded and left, not staying the full time they were paid for. I called the owner and he was not concerned or wanted to work with me to rectify the situation. I will never hire them again.

The owner seems to be extremely knowledgable about organic soil and lawn care, and the company chose treatments based on the needs of my lawn. It's too soon to see the full impact on my formerly sad-looking lawn, but I sleep better at night knowing they took a good look at what my lawn needed instead of applying a cookie-cutter approach, and that there aren't any harmful chemicals involved. Despite the indivudual attention, expertise, and specialty organics, their prices weren't any more than a traditional lawn service, and were less on some services. I wish I'd have found them sooner.
Description of Work: Seasonal organic lawn care, including soil conditioning, fertilization, and slice-seeding.

So far their services have been excellent. He gave me a list of lawns that he has worked on and I went and looked at them and they look excellent. I would use them again in the future.

I cannot say because we didn't have the opportunity to hire them. I very much like the idea of organic lawn care.
Description of Work: Mike was very quick at getting back but unfortunately it was too late in the season--he was already at capacity for mowing lawns.

I was very impressed with Michael's knowledge of organic lawn care. He was happy to answer all my questions and tell me about some of his research. We had our first lawn treatment this week, and I will give a follow-up rating later on based on how my lawn is doing. However, I believe that Michael is going to do a great job, and it is reassuring to know that I can have a natural lawn that won't harm the environment or my children and pets. I found Michael to be very responsive and very professional.
Description of Work: Michael responded promptly to my request for an estimate for lawn care. He came out when he said he would and gave me a lot of good information. He really knows his stuff. Shortly thereafter he mailed me a proposal. The cost was fairly competitive with other quotes I received, but I believe the quality of the products and the service will be much better. For example, one other company that I received a quote from was going to use chicken manure as their organic fertilizer. I did not find this appealing at all. Michael uses corn gluten, among other things, and that seemed much better to me. He also tailors the service to each lawns specific needs.

With a new toddler grandchild I wanted to get rid of all chemicals in the lawn. Michael came promptly and explained what he would do. He also gave me a folder of information on what he would be doing and what I needed to do to keep up the lawn. The price was comparable to another quote except that the slice seeding alone which was more than $500 less than the competition (this for a tiny in-town yard)! Unlike the competition, he planned to do top-seeding in the spring and do the permanent reseeding in the late summer when the likelihood of success is highest. He came promptly when I accepted his bid and did the soil test and spread corn gluten. In early May he came and top seeded the weak area with compost etc. I must say it looks better than it ever has. He will continue with treatments through the summer and in late summer/early fall will reseed the whole area to hopefully get a permanent good lawn area.
Description of Work: I was looking for organic care for my heavily shaded lawn. He came and tested the soil and then has come back to do 2 of the 6 treatments. He leaves a note describing what he has done with comments about watering/mowing, etc.

We are really happy with the on-going service that this company provides. If Kevin needs to make any changes to our scheduled times, he lets us know in advance. We like the fact that he uses all-natural materials and our yard looks really nice. I would definitely recommend this company.
Description of Work: Kevin trims our trees and fertilizes our lawn in the spring and fall using all-natural materials. We have a 4000 square foot yard.

One of the things I like best about this company is that everything they do is completely organic. That is one of the reasons I decided to use them as opposed to other companies. I am totally satisfied with them and I think they are great personally. They keep our lawn looking nice and it is well worth our money.
Description of Work: This company handles the fertilizing on my 1/2 of an acre property. It is all included in my annual contract with them. I pay under $1,000 for that. Then, each year, they come five times a year to do a treatment of compost and five times a year to do various other treatments. They also cover our seeding and mulching and everything like that around our entire property.

They specialize in organic, non-toxic lawn care. They feed the soil rather than poison the soil with chemicals. They test the soil and educate you about your lawn. They charge by the service. You can select which services and how much work you want done.
Description of Work: They did lawn feeding, over seeding and aerating. They have different compost teas that they feed to your lawn. They took about half a day. I have a large corner lot, about 1/3 to 1/2 an acre.

Mike came out to determine the treatment plan and measure up. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I called him before the guys came out to do the seeding and top-dressing to ask him if he could also do spring cleanup. He said yes. They came that weekend and did an outstanding job. I am very pleased with their courtesy, efficiency, and effectiveness.
Description of Work: Reviewed the yard to determine the treatment plan for the lawn. Seeded and top-dressed the lawn. There are 3 other treatments planned for the year, included in the price. Yard is 3/4 acre (less the house).

Doug, the man who mows the lawn, is one of the most dedicated people we know. He really understands grass. Doug is polite, reliable and totally responsible. The charge of $60 per cut is in line with other services and he only cuts when the grass needs cutting, instead of cutting every week whether or not the grass needs to be cut.
Description of Work: Mr. Murray's crew has maintained our lawn for several years. They cut the grass and do spring and fall clean-ups.

Mike, the owner, responded promptly to all my requests (both by email and on the phone). He is knowledgeable about organic soil treatment, and takes pride in his work. I signed up for the annual plan, which means less to worry about for me. He comes once a month and he will leave a letter after each treatment. No need to remind him of the next treatment. My lawn looks better than ever!
