OUR LANDSCAPE DESIGN/ SERVICES INCLUDE:
Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year. The air carries a crisp breeze and the leaves turn into the most amazing shades of orange, yellow, red and brown. It is the time when kids crunch through the yard and take turns diving and jumping in giant piles of them. Eventually, between Halloween and Thanksgiving, the leaves become just a mess on your lawn.
Fall clean up is an arduous task for tree-filled landscape owners. The rule of thumb is if your lawn is covered with leaves, they will smother and kill your grass. Your lawn requires complete leaf removal.
MULCHING
Properly placed mulch can benefit soil and plants in many ways. Mulch insulates the soil and plants in winter, but also keeps soil cool and moist in summer. Mulch can control weeds and erosion. It also helps to retain soil moisture and prevent splash back of soil that can could contain soil borne fungus and diseases.
Artificial turf is made from petroleum‐based materials which are resource intensive to manufacture and transport.
Some artificial turf is painted with lead paint creating an unsafe recreation area for children.
Artificial turf has also been shown to leach zinc, organic compounds and other chemicals, particularly from the crumb rubber infill.
Soil health and stability are greatly reduced in the absence of root systems and organic matter from grass and other vegetation.
Lawns act as a carbon sink, taking up CO2 from the atmosphere, thereby playing a small role in managing global climate change. The 40 million acres of lawns in the US take up between 6 and 17 teragrams of carbon each year depending on how they are managed, according to NASA. Also, leaving grass clippings on the lawn increases carbon uptake. Tearing up grass to install artificial turf releases significant amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Lawns act as natural filters taking up dust, pollutants, and particulate matter from the air and water (up to 12 million tons per year).
Lawns significantly reduce noise pollution, particularly in urban areas.

Although many companies can make a patio or walkway look nice, the key to making it long lasting is the preparation work required to ensure stability. This work includes excavating out the loam or unsuitable material to the proper depth, filling the area back in and compacting the stone and gravel in lifts to avoid settling later, using a screed on the top layer of sand or stone dust to ensure proper pitch and run off and making sure the finish grade comes together, not just on the patio and the walkway, but the entire property to ensure the line of vision is smooth and uninterrupted. Patio’s are a great way to entertain, relax and enjoy your property more. From small and quaint designs to elaborate large designs, we have a design plan to fit your budget and functionality.

RETAINING WALLS
Mass Landscape Group Inc. excels at building new, beautiful patios, retaining walls, walkways, and other hardscape features to meet the needs of our customers. We work with a complete array of landscaping materials to build new or fix existing structures.
Patios, retaining walls, and walkways create a natural landscaped environment. Residential or commercial properties often feature areas with intertwined hardscape and landscape designs. If so, it makes sense to construct the project with a combined hardscape and landscape package.
Retaining walls can serve a variety of purposes in landscaping and yards including retaining soil, providing seating, acting as a border or merely for decoration. Stone or brick retaining walls can be a wonderful accent to any landscape. Mass Landscape Group build walls that are versatile and extremely durable. Our experienced team of landscape professionals will manage your retaining wall landscaping project from the design stage to installation. Retaining walls help with erosion control. If your lawn is on a steep slope, you may have difficulty controlling fast running water. Retaining walls slow or block the flow of water to particular areas of your lawn to help with overall drainage. Landscape Incorporated’s design and installation of retaining walls will not only control erosion, but will create a beautiful look to your landscape and ultimately add value to your home. Retaining walls also help with flooding.
