346 Union Park / 5 Lake St · Somerville, MA

Disciplines served

At Hynes Landscaping, we bring more than 25 years of commercial grounds expertise to one of Greater Boston's most dynamic urban markets. From our headquarters at 118 Cushing St in Stoughton, our crews run regular service routes into Somerville, MA, supporting commercial properties from Assembly Row down through Davis Square and across the rapidly redeveloping Union Square area. Somerville is a city defined by density, transit, and a restaurant-and-retail energy that demands disciplined, polished grounds care.

Property managers, multifamily owners, and commercial landlords in Somerville work with tight urban sites and high pedestrian counts. The Green Line Extension, the Assembly Row mixed-use district, and the build-out around Union Square have brought new ground-floor retail, office, and lab tenants who expect institutional-grade landscape programs. We serve them with site-specific plans that respect Somerville's character while meeting the standards of national tenants and biotech anchors.

Comprehensive Commercial Landscaping Services in Somerville, MA

Every Somerville commercial property is different. Our service offering integrates across maintenance, install, hardscape, and snow operations.

1. Landscape Design

Somerville's tight commercial parcels reward design that punches above its square footage. We design entry plazas, courtyard plantings, and streetscape elements for properties at Assembly Row, Union Square, and along Highland Avenue that work at the pedestrian scale and complement the city's mix of brick, industrial-modern, and triple-decker context.

2. Hardscaping

Hardscape is the structural backbone of urban commercial landscaping. We install and restore granite curbing, brick walkways, bluestone plazas, and retaining walls for Somerville properties, using durable materials that handle the city's pedestrian volume and freeze-thaw cycles.

3. Lawn Maintenance

Turf areas in Somerville are smaller but high-visibility. Our mowing, edging, fertilization, and pH-management programs keep what grass there is healthy, with care taken around shaded sites near Tufts and along Powder House Boulevard.

4. Seasonal Cleanup

Somerville's leafy older neighborhoods generate heavy seasonal debris. Our spring and fall cleanup crews handle leaf collection, bed refresh, mulching, and storm response so that every property is reset for the next season on schedule.

5. Snow Removal

Snow in Somerville is a logistics puzzle. Tight sites, parked cars, narrow sidewalks, and limited snow-storage space make it one of the harder markets to run, and we plan for it. Our 24/7 operation pre-treats, plows, shovels, applies de-icer, and hauls snow off-site when accumulations require it, with priority for high-traffic retail and multifamily addresses.

6. Plant Installation

We specify plantings that survive urban conditions: salt exposure, compacted soils, restricted root zones, and intense summer sun on south-facing facades. Our planting plans at Somerville commercial sites balance immediate visual impact with long-term establishment.

7. Outdoor Living

Outdoor amenities have become a leasing differentiator in Somerville. We design rooftop terraces, patios, seating areas, and planter systems for office and multifamily properties at Assembly Row, around Union Square, and across the Magoun and Ball Square neighborhoods.


Why Choose Hynes Landscaping for Your Somerville Business?

For more than 25 years, Hynes Landscaping has built our reputation by showing up on schedule, executing carefully, and treating every commercial property like our own. Our Stoughton base supports reliable routing into Somerville, even during weather events that disrupt other operators. We have the experience to navigate Somerville's permitting, tree protection rules, and storm-day operational realities without missing service windows.

We run in-house: our own crews, our own commercial-grade equipment, and account managers who know your property in detail. Sustainability is part of how we work, with integrated pest management, water-efficient irrigation programming, and organic options where the site and tenant mix support them.

Clear communication is non-negotiable. We provide transparent line-item pricing, regular service updates, and proactive notice when conditions or plant health require attention between visits. Call 781-356-3311 to learn more about a Hynes program for your Somerville property.


Serving Somerville's Commercial Districts and Neighborhoods

Somerville's commercial fabric is one of the most varied in Greater Boston. Assembly Row is a premium mixed-use district on the Mystic River, with national retail, residential towers, office and lab tenants, and a clean, contemporary streetscape that requires institutional-grade grounds programs. Union Square is in the middle of a major redevelopment driven by the Green Line Extension, and the new lab, office, and residential properties there expect a polished, modern landscape.

Davis Square anchors the western end of the city with restaurants, retail, and a Red Line stop that drives steady foot traffic, while Magoun Square and Ball Square add neighborhood-commercial nodes with their own restaurant and small-business density. The areas around Tufts University and Powder House Square carry institutional and residential-commercial overlap, and properties along Highland Avenue and Somerville Avenue round out the markets we serve.

Each district has its own pace, and we adjust programs to match.


Transform Your Somerville Property with Hynes Landscaping

In an urban market like Somerville, your property's grounds work hard. They influence leasing decisions, foot traffic, and how tenants and visitors experience the building. Hynes Landscaping has spent 25-plus years building landscape programs that hold up year over year, compounding curb appeal and protecting the investment underneath.

We work as a long-term partner, not a transactional vendor. That means programs designed for consistency, mature plantings stewarded with care, hardscape that ages well, and a maintenance cadence that anticipates the seasons rather than chasing them. From a single-pad retail site to a multi-building Assembly Row address, we scale to the work.
