"Terrible experience. They showed up four (4) weeks late for each of the first two treatments, giving me another year of a lousy looking lawn. They then proceeded to call me and email me multiple times after I quite clearly told them I was not employing them again under any circumstances. "

Harris and Company Landscaping is a full-service, fully-insured landscape design/build company specializing in the design and installation of high quality patios, walkways, planting, landscape lighting and outdoor kitchens. We have been servicing eastern and central Massachusetts for over 13 years. We employ over 15 highly skilled workers- many graduates of agricultural colleges or high schools. Our workers complete continuing education courses during the winter off-season. We proudly offer LIFETIME WARRANTIES on labor performed on all patio and walkway work, and most of our materials are also guaranteed for life by our suppliers.

"We received an initial quote from Harris & Co. based on a recommendation from a coworker to replace a backyard deck with a stone patio. I received three quotes from various contractors. Harris's quote was the most expensive but I went with Joshua Harris's company anyway for the following reasons: * Joshua had a complete treatment that included landscaping (which ultimately I did not do), pavers, lowering of the ground, demolition, fire pit, and seating wall. * They were responsive, using text and email and replying promptly. * Joshua Harris had a better vision for the project than I did! He envisioned a wall, lighting, making the patio extremely large (due to the limited space in the backyard, he thought that leaving a bit of grass would be pretty pointless). Ultimately, it was the completeness of the vision that drew me to use his service. Since he does landscaping, lighting, and tons of stuff, Joshua will give you a pretty complete treatment. This costs you. I think that you get what you pay for, but it's something to keep in mind. If you have a budget, keep your discipline and see what aspects that you can go without! That all said, we went all out for this project and added a long wall, accent pavers, a large fire pit, and lighting. This was an extremely expensive project for us, but it's been worth it as the end result is rather beautiful and makes the space much more usable. Before, we wouldn't even leave out the back door because the deck was so small and the yard was so dreary, but the large 28' stone patio makes the space inviting and easy to walk across, even when we're not entertaining. As for the work, I was impressed by the amount of communication that was provided. They contacted me almost every day to let me know if they were going to arrive to work and informed me if circumstances (usually rain, sometimes illness) affected the schedule. Joshua was overall very professional. There were occasionally circumstances though that affected what could be done at any point - for example a certain model of lamp I requested wasn't available, so I had to get a different one; in another case one of the bulbs burned out and I had to reach out to get it replaced. The final thing is that Joshua follows through. The mulch for the back was delayed due to an inventory issue and I hadn't heard from him after the work for a number of weeks, but then he called me when the items came back in and scheduled the follow-up. The point is: if you need something from him, don't be afraid to reach out. The work was quite costly but I think that you get what you pay for and when you go with Harris & Co., you get a lot."

"I Used them for firewood and received the worst wood I’ve ever seen - mostly super short and full of wet, rotting wood and bark. I was also told it was a full cord even though it seemed quite short. After pulling what I could salvage I finally hired someone else to haul away the last 20% - anything to get it out of my driveway. When I told them it wasn’t great looking wood Riley responded that it was “good wood for burning”, and he couldn’t help me “if I was buying for the ambience”. Called Kathy and complained about wood quality - was told they would send me a $100 refund (spent $315 on wood, plus $30 to another guy haul it away). I would never buy wood from them again. If they’d rip me off on firewood, I’d hesitate to trust them for anything else."

We are a small family business that employs 5-7 employees depending on the season. We offer all aspects of arboriculture, lawn care. We provide quality plant health care at a reasonable cost to our clients. Work task proposals are based on time and materials including travel time for the crew to load tools and dump debris. We also have 8 acres of cut your own Christmas trees that are open in Nov-Dec. We have a large loyal client base that was built on quality workmanship and trust. We are honest with our clients about what we would or would not do to the plants on their specific properties. We generally have a 4-6 week back log of work. 35% of our work is commercial the rest is residential. There are many clients that we do yearly work such as fruit tree pruning, ornamental pruning, deep root fertilization, mulching. Emergency work will always take priority over scheduled work. After a major storm clients will have to wait until emergency work is completed before back log work is performed. The date we get confirmation on a work task is the date that is printed on the work order. We try to get the oldest work order dated tasks completed to be fair with our clients. Weather plays a very big part of work scheduling.

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Water your yard a little more deeply after a drought for about two weeks (while still avoiding overwatering). Continue to water in the early morning hours before 10 a.m. You'll also want to invest in some high-quality fertilizer to get more nutrients to your roots and help them grow back stronger and quicker. Look up your grass and soil type, or do a soil test, to see what type of fertilizer you need.

In most cases, it is worth paying for professional lawn care. DIY lawn maintenance is possible, but it can get extremely time-consuming, especially to make your property look well-maintained. Not only is lawn maintenance time-intensive, but it can also get expensive, even to DIY, especially considering the cost of fuel and maintenance for your lawn care tools. Professional lawn care services average around $100 per service, making it a relatively inexpensive investment, especially for how much time it saves you.

Yes, many professionals offer non-toxic and environmentally safe pest control solutions.

You should fertilize your lawn after it has grown at least two inches or after your second mow (usually in March or April). Applying fertilizer too early can feed your weeds and cause them to grow stronger, too. You should water your lawn two to three days before you apply fertilizer to ensure the soil absorbs it.

Whether organic or synthetic fertilizers are better for your lawn depends on your goals, budget, and plans for other lawn treatments. Organic fertilizer costs more but is likely to benefit your lawn more in the long run by improving the soil as well as feeding your grass. Synthetic fertilizers get faster results but don’t enrich the soil and may contaminate nearby bodies of water if you live on a shoreline. A hybrid fertilizer may be an option to give you the benefits found in both organic and synthetic fertilizers.
