Cambridge Landscaping Trends and Projects by Season
Cambridgeâs New England climate and urban soil profile shape local landscaping styles. Rain gardens planted with native sedges and ferns soak up spring runoff, while permeable brick paths and granite retaining walls handle seasonal thaw and freeze cycles.
If you want a one-of-a-kind yard that fits Cambridge charm, LawnStarter connects you with the best local landscapers. Youâll get free quotes in just a few clicks.
Cambridge Landscaping Trends
- Native Rain Gardens: Use blue flag iris, Joe-Pye weed, and cardinal flower to filter stormwater.
- Edible Landscapes: Incorporate raised beds with herbs like thyme, parsley, and year-round cold-tolerant kale.
- Urban Oasis Retreats: Blend small patios, built-in benches, and container gardens for cozy city escapes.
- Modern Hardscaping: Pick granite or recycled brick pavers for durable walkways and patios that complement historic homes.
- Smart Irrigation: Install drip systems with moisture sensors to water only when needed.
Cambridge Landscaping by Season
Cambridgeâs New England weather swings from icy winters to hot, humid summers, so your yard care has to keep up. In winter, that means wrapping trees and storing gear. But once spring shows up, itâs time to test the soil and start planting again.
Here are the recommended landscaping activities by season:
Summer
- Mow Lawns: Weekly cutting at 3 in from mid-May through September, ideally at dawn to reduce evaporation.
- Deadheading: Pinch spent blooms on coneflowers and salvias to encourage more flowers.
- Plant Heat-Tolerant Annuals: Install marigolds, zinnias, and salvia in sunny beds.
- Pest Patrol: Inspect foliage weekly for Japanese beetles or aphids and treat organically.
- Container Care: Rotate pots and refresh soil mid-season.
- Fence and Deck Maintenance: Reseal wood surfaces during dry spells.
- Landscape Lighting: Add low-voltage fixtures to highlight paths and specimen trees.
Fall
- Lawn Care: Keep mowing until late October or early November, trimming to about 3 inches.
- Bulb Planting: Plant daffodil and tulip bulbs in mid-October (6 in deep) before the ground freezes.
- Mulching: Top beds with two inches of mulch to insulate roots.
- Leaf Cleanup: Rake fallen leaves and debris to prevent disease and mold growth. Consider booking a leaf removal service if necessary.
- Hardscape Projects: Install patios and stone steps while the soil remains workable.
- Irrigation Winterize: Drain and blow out sprinkler lines to avoid freeze damage.
Winter
- Protect Young Trees: Wrap trunks in December; remove wrappings by March to prevent moisture buildup.
- Prune Dormant Shrubs: December through February on frost-free days.
- Tool Care and Design Planning: DecemberâFebruary is ideal for maintenance and planning spring beds.
Spring
- Lawn Care: Grass typically begins active growth in late April; mowing at a 3 inches is ideal.
- Irrigation Check: Turn on drip and sprinkler systems; flush lines before full spring use.
- Soil Prep: Test soil in early April; adding compost then ensures nutrients are available by planting time.
- Planting: Early pansies and hellebores can go in midâApril; tender annuals should wait until after May 1, when nighttime lows consistently exceed 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Mulch: Apply 2 in of mulch in late April after the soil warms to conserve moisture.
- Pruning: Trim dead wood from shrubs and roses before new growth appears.
- Hardscape Prep: Begin patios and walkways before heavy spring rains.
Whether you need help mowing, installing drip systems, pruning ornamentals, or choosing flowering shrubs for your New England garden, LawnStarter's Cambridge landscapers are ready with a free quote.
