They are so conscientious, careful, polite and considerate, a joy to have around.  Their maintenance work is professional, their plantings healthy, and their clean ups thorough...We are so grateful to them for their work to create and maintain a lovely garden for us and the neighborhood to enjoy. **- Arlington, MA** [Read more >](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/testimonials) I have worked with Moodscapes for years, and love how they maintain our garden organically and with care- they are just as fussy about our plantings as we are.  They are great with following through with our finicky requests to baby certain plantings (and aggressively prune others). It is always a pleasure to have the Moodscapes crew working in our yard! **- Lexington, MA** [Read more >](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/testimonials) We’ve had a great experience using Moodscapes for our lawn care and our seasonal bed maintenance.  We went through other landscape companies first before settling on Moodscapes. We’ve been impressed with the care they take with our property and their desire to develop a relationship with us rather than treating us as a transaction.  **- Lexington, MA** [Read more >](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/testimonials) Their choices of locally sourced and organically grown shrubs and perennials along with using ecological and organic procedures have proven themselves right.  Everything seems to thrive and be more resistant to the wild swings in climate, moisture and temperature here on the Cape than before. Using natural products, mulches, etc. seems to have controlled unwanted weeds and incidental growth, while breaking many of my historical habits of using commercial products. **- Onset, MA** [Read more >](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/testimonials) ![judi rubin](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/hs-fs/hubfs/moodscapes-theme-2017/images/judi-illustration.png?width=140&name=judi-illustration.png "judi rubin") ![gardener](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/hs-fs/hubfs/moodscapes-theme-2017/images/join-team.png?width=115&name=join-team.png "gardener") ![request ecological landscape image](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/hubfs/moodscapes-theme-2017/images/how-canwe-bg.jpg "request ecological landscape image") ### Request Your Ecological Landscape Maintenance & Gardening Service Call Fill out the form below for your complimentary phone call to discuss your needs ####  Services - [Landscape Design & Build](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/landscape-design-services) - [Ecological Landscape Maintenance](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/ecological-landscape-maintenance-gardening) ####  Contact Us 216 Hillside Ave, Arlington, MA 02476 [781.488.3200](tel:781.488.3200) [info@moodscapesdesign.com](mailto:info@moodscapesdesign.com) ####  Towns We Serve - [Arlington](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/arlington-ma) - [Belmont](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/belmont-ma) - [Lexington](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/lexington-ma) - [Newton](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/newton-ma) - [Watertown](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/watertown-ma) - [Winchester](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/winchester-ma) - [Pricing](https://www.moodscapesdesign.com/pricing) #### Schedule Consultation © 2026 Moodscapes LLC.
