Where thoughtful gardening meets Madbury’s natural beauty.
Gardening with Madbury’s Local Landscape
Madbury is a gardener’s town — with sandy loam soils, moderate rainfall, and a balanced inland climate in USDA Zone 6a. Its proximity to the Bellamy River means some properties have slightly richer soils, while upland areas stay dry through summer.
We tailor every gardening plan to match these conditions, improving sandy soil with compost, choosing hardy plants, and pruning at the right time to encourage strong growth.
Town Office: 13 Town Hall Road, Madbury, NH 03823
Local residents can use the Madbury Transfer Station to recycle yard waste and access compost. We often incorporate locally sourced compost into our mulching and soil renewal work for Madbury clients.
We also follow best practices shared by the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension, just minutes away in Durham, ensuring that your garden thrives sustainably in local conditions.
Our Gardening Services in Madbury
Seasonal Clean-Ups
We clear debris, cut back perennials, and tidy beds to prepare your garden for each season. In spring, we refresh mulch and wake up the soil. In fall, we protect roots and prepare for winter rest.
Weeding & Bed Care
We hand-weed carefully and shape bed edges for neatness and plant health. Regular visits prevent overgrowth and help desirable plants stay dominant.
Pruning & Shrub Care
We prune shrubs and ornamental plants based on their natural growth cycles — spring bloomers after flowering, and structural pruning in late winter. This timing keeps plants healthy and flowering reliably.
Mulching & Soil Improvement
We use organic mulch and local compost to feed the soil, retain moisture, and support beneficial organisms. Mulching is key to long-term garden health in Madbury’s sandy soil.
Garden Design & Planting
We design and plant gardens that blend with Madbury’s natural landscape — from sunny meadow-style beds to shaded woodland edges. We use native and pollinator-friendly plants to keep your garden lively year-round.
Plants That Thrive in Madbury NH
Madbury’s mild inland climate supports a rich variety of plants:
Hydrangeas for lush summer blooms

Rugosa roses for tough, low-maintenance beauty
Daylilies, coneflowers, and black-eyed Susans for bright summer color
Ornamental grasses for structure and winter interest
