The short answer
Shrub planting is where a lot of yards go wrong: plants set too deep, crowded too close or placed where they will outgrow the window in three years. We choose and space plants for their full size, and pick varieties that handle Massachusetts winters, like hardy hydrangeas, boxwood, rhododendron and native perennials.
Spring and early fall are the best planting windows in MetroWest. Cooler temperatures and steady rain help roots settle in before summer heat or winter frost. We amend heavy clay or rocky soil with loam and compost, plant, water in and finish with mulch so the new bed looks good from day one.

It depends on how many plants, their size and how much bed prep is needed. Plants are usually the biggest part of the bill. As a rough market range, many homeowners spend from a few hundred dollars for a small bed to a few thousand for a full foundation planting. Text photos for a free estimate with no visit fee.
