Additional service areas - Norwood Brockton, Lynn Beverly, Concord Maynard, & Chelmsford Haverhill & portions of Ashland Norfolk, Boxford Gloucester, Cohasset Plymouth & Fitchburg Leominster. Award winning. Additional contact name - Lauren Greenhow.

"GreenHow is an excellent company - their servicepeople are knowledgable and thorough, follow up when they say they will, and go out of their way to make sure you are happy with their work. The back office team is also very attentive and professional. We had our property inspected when we moved in and were pleased enough with GreenHow's work that we contracted them to perform ongoing inspections every couple months. They have been great and we are quite happy!"

We are a custom Landscape Design/Build firm based in Amherst NH. Retaining walls, paver patios or driveways, new lawn installation, outdoor kitchens and fire pits, excavation, installing new beds, installing plantings, install and repair irrigation, build water features, water falls, Koi ponds, landscape lighting, stumps excavation, if you need ANYTHING constructed in your yard GIVE US A CALL. If you can dream it we can build it. Taking care of you is our first priority. I built this business based on honesty and integrity. I will not compromise those principles. I estimate all the jobs and also work with the crew on the jobs I designed ensuring the job is done correctly. I spend the time needed to design and estimate your project correctly. I work quickly to address any needs or concerns you may have. Other landscape “contractors” are mowing businesses that attempt to do landscape construction on the side. We, on the other hand, specialize in landscape construction. We own all the equipment and tools to do the job correctly. There’s no need to rush thru a project because we have to return a rented machine or cut corners because we don’t have the proper tools or training. We won’t leave your job unfinished for days, or even weeks while the crew goes out to mow grass or do cleanups. We serve a small area right around Amherst, New Hampshire. We give you the full value of your contract in excellent service. There may be less expensive contractors but no one can match our level of service and quality, no one. Other companies cut corners but we never will. We take pride in our work because we know you take pride in how your property looks. Giving you a very professional job is our specialty. We look forward to designing your project!

"We purchased the house in 2013 and it had not been taken care of for many years. There were many overgrown trees surrounding the house and it did not have a backyard because the backyard dropped off into a steep slope. Paul and his crew came in and removed 83 trees in 2015. They dug out the stumps and haul them away. In 2016 2200 yards of fill were brought in to bring up the grade. Many truckloads of loam were also brought in. He graded it all out and installed irrigation. In 2017 he planted 16 fruit trees and a whole lot of bushes along the property lines. He also built a stone wall. In 2018 he designed a patio with a small fountain and an outdoor grilling area. He installed it in 2019 along with landscape lighting along our front walkway and he repaired our granite post lighting on the driveway. We loved working with Paul. He and his crew were very professional. He stayed out of our way and made it easy for us despite the vast amounts of materials being brought in. We had to get on a waiting list for a couple of the jobs but it was worth the wait. Our only complaint is we ran out of room to do more landscaping! We love that our kids have a place to play now. We highly recommend Paul and his crew of young men."

"Bob and team were fantastic. We had two trees we knew we wanted trimmed, but Bob came out and walked the entire yard with me, giving me suggestions and reasoning behind such suggestions. When the team came to do the job, everyone was friendly and accommodating of my many questions. At one point the team left, and I wasn't satisfied with the product, so I called Bob who came back within 5 min and had the team come back and finish until I was completely content. We will be using them again for any future tree-trimming needs. For the price conscious, the Arborway team was slightly more expensive for the larger of the two jobs (2800 vs. $2400 and $2000 from two other companies), but comparable pricing for the smaller tree ($620 vs. $620 and $600). That being said, if a big tree is done poorly, it makes a much larger impact. I am very pleased that I left the tree in their capable hands."

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

You can use a fungicide to help control powdery mildew, but you should apply it judiciously as it can damage soil health and persist in the soil. Most of the time, proper watering, surface drying, and limiting shade can control powdery mildew without needing harsher interventions. If you have a repeated problem with powdery mildew, you can also try planting a shade-resistant type of grass that will be less susceptible to the fungus.

Start your search for a good lawn care company by finding some landscapers in your area; it might be a good idea to research companies that already work on your block, as they’re more likely to be able to fit you into their schedules, given your proximity. Next, conduct a search online to see if they have positive customer reviews, and try to avoid companies that have poor scores or a history of complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Finally, make sure to ask each company about pricing, contracts, scheduling, and any add-on services.

Planting grass from seed requires time to grow before it can handle even light foot traffic. Most varieties require a minimum of three months before you can walk on them regularly. You can expect to wait at least one year before your lawn can hold up to heavy use. Because sod is already established, it can be walked on more quickly than grass planted from seed.

When your sod is new, you should keep an eye on it to prevent dehydration. As new sod plants its roots into the soil beneath it, it can easily get dehydrated and start to turn brown. Keeping a consistent watering schedule for your new sod will help prevent this issue and will help it thrive as it roots into your yard.

Once your sod is about six weeks old, you can start to establish a regular lawn maintenance routine, complete with mowing, edging, and fertilizing.  

If you apply too much fertilizer to your grass, it can take about three weeks to recover. If you still have dead patches after three weeks, it might be time to remove the dead grass and overseed the affected area. Since overfertilizing can also cause problems with fungus, leading to further damage to the grass, monitor your grass color and growth for one month after over fertilizing.
