A Local Landscaping Team You Can Actually Count On
When most people search "landscapers near me," they're not just looking for someone with a mower. They're looking for a real partner — a company that shows up when they say they will, knows the property, communicates clearly, and treats the landscape like an investment rather than a transaction. That's a higher bar than most local crews are built to clear.
Cole Landscaping has been that team for North Shore homeowners and businesses since 1991. We're a family-run, full-service landscape company based in the heart of the North Shore — serving Newburyport down to Beverly, Andover east to Gloucester, and across the New Hampshire line into Rye and beyond. In-house crews. Same-day communication. One team for every season, every service, every year.
Everything Your Property Needs — Under One Roof
Most people who search for landscapers near them end up juggling three or four different vendors — one for mowing, one for design, another for irrigation, someone else for snow. Cole is built differently. We handle every layer of your property in-house, so your landscape is managed as one cohesive system, not a stack of disconnected services.

Not Every Landscaper Is the Same Kind of Landscaper
"Landscaper" is a broad word. It can mean a one-truck mowing operation, a seasonal cleanup crew, a design firm, a maintenance contractor, or a true full-service landscape company. The difference matters — because what you actually need depends on the property.
The people on your property are Cole employees — trained, accountable, and the same faces year over year. We don't subcontract the work and disappear.
From spring cleanup to summer maintenance to fall prep to winter snow management — one team, one number to call, every season of the year.
Designers, horticulturists, irrigation techs, hardscape masons, lighting specialists. The right person for the right job — not a generalist guessing.
When you call or message, you hear back. No black holes, no week-long silences, no chasing down your own contractor. It's a basic standard most of the industry skips.
Serving the North Shore & Southern New Hampshire
Cole's service area covers most of the North Shore of Massachusetts and parts of Southern New Hampshire. We're locally rooted — our crews know these towns, the soil conditions, the microclimates, and the design preferences that fit the area. That's the difference between hiring a "landscaper near me" off a search ad and hiring a landscape partner who's actually local.
If your town isn't listed below, ask anyway — we cover a wider range than the headline list, especially for design-build and commercial projects.

A Straight Answer About Landscaping Pricing
One of the most common questions homeowners ask before they call: "What does landscaping actually cost?" Honest answer — it depends. But "it depends" isn't useful, so here's what actually drives the number on a Cole quote.
Property size & complexity
A flat quarter-acre with a simple layout costs very different from a hillside property with multi-level beds, mature trees, and stone walls. Square footage alone doesn't tell the whole story — terrain matters.
Scope of services
A weekly mow is one number. A full-service program (mowing + bed care + lawn fertilization + pruning + seasonal cleanups) is another. Adding hardscapes, irrigation, or lighting is a different conversation entirely.
Frequency & commitment
One-time projects price differently than recurring service plans. Long-term clients on a full-property program typically get better per-visit value than someone calling for a single cleanup.
Materials & plant selection
For design-build and planting work, the spec drives the budget — bluestone vs. concrete pavers, specimen trees vs. starter shrubs, native plantings vs. ornamentals. We help you make the call that fits the property and the budget.
Every Cole quote comes after a property walkthrough — no flat-rate guesses, no surprise bills, no upsell traps. See our pricing page for general guidance, or request a free quote for a real number for your property.
A Family Business Serving the North Shore Since 1991
Three decades in business on the North Shore isn't an accident — it's the result of consistent service, long client relationships, and a company culture that treats every property like it belongs to family. We're not the biggest landscape company in Massachusetts, and that's the point. We're big enough to handle every service in-house, small enough to actually know your property and your name.
A lot of Cole's clients have been with us for 10, 15, 20+ years. New clients usually find us through neighbors, referrals, or by searching for landscapers nearby and recognizing our trucks from somewhere down the street. That's the local-roots, word-of-mouth kind of business we've worked hard to be.

One Landscape Partner — Built to Last
When you stop searching for landscapers near you and start working with one team that knows your property, the math changes. The crews who handle your spring cleanup are the same ones mowing in July, pruning in September, blowing out the irrigation system in October, and clearing the driveway in February. Continuity matters — your landscape doesn't care about contractor handoffs, but the results do.
It's why so many of our clients have stayed with us for decades. If you're tired of patching together different vendors every season, this is the kind of partnership we'd love to start with you.
