Landscape Design & Installation

Turn Your Outdoor Space Into Something Special

Your yard has potential. Maybe you see it, or maybe you just know it could look better. Either way, we can help. At Earth & Leaf Brookline Landscapes, we work with homeowners in Brookline, MA to create custom landscape designs that match your style, your budget, and how you actually use your outdoor space.

We do not believe in cookie-cutter designs. Every property is different, and every client has their own vision. Our job is to listen to what you want, understand your property, and create a plan that makes sense. Then we handle the installation from start to finish, so you can watch your yard transform without lifting a finger.

What Makes a Great Landscape Design

Good landscape design is about more than just looking nice. It should work with your lifestyle and fit the natural conditions of your property. Here is what we focus on when designing your landscape:

• How you use your outdoor space (entertaining, kids playing, quiet relaxation, etc.)
• The amount of sun and shade different areas get throughout the day
• Drainage patterns and soil conditions on your property
• Plants that thrive in Brookline's climate without constant maintenance
• Creating focal points and visual interest from different angles
• Balancing hardscaping elements with living plants
• Making sure everything fits within your budget

We walk your property with you and ask questions about what you like and do not like. This helps us understand what will actually work for you, not just what looks good in a magazine.

Our Design Process

We keep our process simple and straightforward. First, we meet with you to see your property and hear your ideas. We take measurements, photos, and notes about existing features you want to keep or remove.

Next, we create a custom landscape design plan that shows exactly what your yard will look like. This includes plant selections, hardscape features, and a layout that makes sense for how you use your space. We review the plan with you and make any changes until you love it.

Once you approve the design, our installation team gets to work. We handle everything from preparing the soil to planting trees and shrubs to installing any hardscape elements. You get regular updates as we go, and we make sure you are happy with every step.

Why Choose Professional Installation

Installing a landscape design is not just about digging holes and dropping plants in the ground. There is a right way to do it that sets your landscape up for long-term success. Our team knows how to properly prepare soil, grade for drainage, and position plants so they have room to grow.

We also handle the heavy lifting and logistics. If your design includes large trees, boulders, or hardscape features, we have the equipment and experience to install them safely and correctly. Plus, we clean up completely when we are done, so you can enjoy your new landscape right away.

Many of our clients also add landscape lighting to their design to highlight key features and extend the usability of their outdoor space into the evening hours.
