Bringing out the best in Kingston gardens through mindful care.
Gardening with Kingston’s Local Character
Kingston’s mix of open meadows and wooded neighborhoods means every yard has its own rhythm. The sandy loam soils drain quickly in some areas, while low spots near Great Pond can hold moisture after rain. Our gardeners understand how to balance those conditions — adding compost to improve structure, adjusting plant choices, and scheduling care around Kingston’s natural climate.

Local residents can use the Kingston Transfer Station at 4 Industrial Drive for yard waste and composting materials, which we also recommend for soil enrichment and mulch renewal.
Our Gardening Services in Kingston
Seasonal Clean-Ups
We tidy your beds each spring and fall, removing leaves, debris, and spent plants to prepare for the next season. We protect roots before winter and bring fresh life to your beds in spring.
Weeding & Edging
We hand-weed and edge garden borders carefully so your beds stay neat and plants have room to thrive. Regular maintenance prevents invasive growth and keeps your garden attractive through every season.
Pruning & Shrub Care
We prune shrubs and small trees with seasonal timing that suits each plant. Spring bloomers are trimmed after flowering, and structural pruning happens in late winter to promote healthy growth.
Mulching & Soil Improvement
We use organic mulch and compost sourced from Kingston’s local yard waste program to feed the soil, hold moisture, and protect roots. A fresh layer each spring helps gardens look clean and stay healthy.
Garden Design & Planting
We create new gardens and refresh existing ones using native perennials, flowering shrubs, and pollinator-friendly plants suited to Kingston’s light, soil, and climate.
Practical Gardening Notes
Soil care: Mix compost into beds before planting for better moisture retention.
Mulch depth: Keep 2 to 3 inches of organic mulch year-round, pulling it back slightly from stems.
Pruning timing: Avoid heavy pruning in fall for spring-flowering shrubs.
Watering: Deeply soak beds during dry spells, especially before the ground freezes in late autumn.
Winter prep: Leave ornamental grasses and select perennials for winter interest, then cut them back in late February or March.
