A wbur.org article names Green Abundance By Design a Framingham eco-landscape company. Its website lists ecological landscaping, native plant design and installation, invasive plant management, restoration, meadow and lawn care, pruning and seasonal cleanups, and names Andrew Whittaker as founder and designer. A recent Google customer said the team pulled a forest of buckthorn from the property and killed swaths of bittersweet, poison ivy and Virginia creeper; that customer called it not a budget service but worth the expense. A recent customer said the company has handled invasive plant management in their yard for three years and that the treatments are making a noticeable difference. A recent customer said the company installed a suburban meadow in their front yard and was managing the invasives on the property. A recent customer said Marshall and April took a video to show what they did and cleaned up after an animal got into the trash. A 2024 customer said Andrew and the team installed a Suburban Meadow garden in the front yard, cleared invasive trees and planted a Woodland Restoration garden in the back yard. A 2024 customer said the company shredded fall leaves and put them back down in the shrub beds as mulch. A 2022 customer said they engaged the company in 2019 for invasive plant management with a strategic herbicide application and later had it back for tree pruning. A 2024 customer said they set up a consultation with the owner, Andrew, and got a call five minutes after the scheduled time saying he was 50 minutes away. A 2024 customer said they measured and photographed an area for invasive plant removal as asked, then were told they had "missed the window of opportunity" with no time window mentioned before.

“Andrew Whittaker, the owner of the Framingham eco-landscape company Green Abundance by Design, says there are lots of possible lawn replacements, depending on what you like.”
We have used Green Abundance for three years now to help with invasive plant management in our yard. Mike and his team are super knowledgeable and I've appreciated learning more from them about what species we have and how best to deal with them. We have a lot of yard, and problems with TOH, black swallow-wort, burdock... pretty much all the bad ones. The treatments done are making a noticeable difference, and the teams who have come to do treatments are always on-time, polite, friendly, and efficient. Mike is also great about answering questions via email. I would recommend them to anyone who needs yardwork, but especially if you need help with pesky invasive weeds that won't die!
Very easy to work with and they did a really great job with our invasive weeds in our front and backyards. I'd definitel work with them again!
Green Abundance by Design is a wonderful company! Excellent and comprehensive attention to detail on our issues with invasive plants on the property, including knotweed. Their communication is unmatched and they are encouraging of and patient with questions. I love their walk-through videos identifying all the species on our property and the treatment for each. Really great experience working with them - highly recommend.
We are extremely happy with the work we just had done to help manage our invasive species. After watching the invasive plants take over for 5 years we knew we had to do something soon. They were extremely thorough and pulled a forest of buckthorn from our property, and killed swaths of bittersweet, poison ivy and Virginia creeper. Not to mention all of the invasives I hadn’t even noticed! Our woods and property have never looked better and we are looking forward to letting the natives breathe and thrive. Michael did the initial visit and he was knowledgeable and helped work with our budget. This is not a budget service by any means but I feel it is worth the expense, especially after watching the crew hand-pull seedlings I would never even have spotted! They know what they are doing and we’re very happy with the work!
Everyone we worked with from Green Abundance was super friendly and knowledgeable, and their work really transformed our outdoor spaces. If you care about the impact of landscaping on our environment / need professional management of invasive plants, Green Abundance is the only way to go. I will be exclusively using and recommending them for any landscaping projects going forward. Great experience all around!
