Your Local Landscaper in Harwich
Harwich is cranberry country as much as it is a beach town. Between the working bogs, the three harbors — Wychmere, Saquatucket, and Allen — and the Nantucket Sound beaches at Red River and Bank Street, the landscape here shifts from wet and low to sandy and exposed within a few blocks.
Our Harwich work accounts for that. Properties near the bogs and Herring River need careful water management and organic-only feeding. Homes in Harwich Port and along the Sound need salt-tolerant plantings and dense turf that holds up to beach traffic. We tailor each program to where the property actually sits.

Soil & Site Notes for Harwich
Harwich has more surface water than most Cape towns — active and retired cranberry bogs, the Herring River, and Pleasant Bay on the east side. Lots near these areas can be seasonally wet and are often inside wetland buffers. Beach-side Harwich Port lots are sandy and salt-swept. We keep all feeding organic and slow-release near water, and improve drainage on low lots rather than fighting standing water with more sod.

Harwich Landscaping FAQs
My property borders a cranberry bog. Does that affect landscaping?+
It does. Land next to a bog is usually inside a wetland buffer zone, which limits clearing, grading, and fertilizer near the edge. We keep a vegetated buffer, use organic slow-release feed only, and check with the Harwich Conservation Commission before any larger project close to the bog.
Do you serve properties on Pleasant Bay?+
Yes, on the Harwich side of Pleasant Bay and around Round Cove. Bayfront work follows the same approach as our other waterfront properties — salt-tolerant plantings, deep infrequent watering, organic feeding kept back from the bank, and erosion control at the lawn edge.
How do you handle a yard that floods every spring?+
We locate where the water is coming from and where it wants to go, then regrade the surface to carry it away from the house, add a French drain or dry well if the volume needs it, and plant the lowest spot with species that tolerate wet soil.
