Earthscape Inc. is a Groton, MA landscape design and hardscaping company owned by Joshua Degan, in business since 1984. The company designs and builds outdoor spaces -- stone walls, garden paths, water features, plantings and outdoor entertainment areas -- and grows some of its own trees at a nursery in Groton. Homeowners who have hired the company consistently praise Josh Degan by name. In a 2019 review, a customer said he and his crew planted two trees in a tight space at a very fair price, choosing species well-suited to the spot. Another 2019 reviewer called him "a surgeon with his equipment," and a 2021 review described him as responsive and helpful even before the customer was ready to commit to a project, offering a photo and estimate ahead of time. The company holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating on Google from a small number of ratings, and the written reviews on file, while a few years old now, are uniformly positive with no complaints or negative signals anywhere in the record. With over four decades in business and a hands-on, design-focused approach, Earthscape is a solid choice for landscape design, hardscaping and tree work -- it's worth reaching out directly for current availability given how few recent written reviews are on file.

Was great as usual, wasn't ready to buy until the spring but Josh was meeting someone for a pickup. So I got a pic of the bluestone I want and an estimate.
I'll tell you what... Josh Degan knows what he's doing, and he's a surgeon with him equipment.
Josh and his crew planted two trees for us in a very tight area this summer to help provide shade. His price was very fair, he knew what trees would serve us well and did a very nice job. Just a few weeks later a robin created a nest and has hatched out her brood. Thanks Josh for an outstanding job.
