HomeHarvest says it has designed and built edible landscapes in Greater Boston since Ben Barkan started the business in 2008. The Arlington-based company works on edible gardens, raised beds, fruit trees, greenhouses, stonework, and landscape construction; its website names Barkan as owner and describes design, installation, planting, and ongoing maintenance. Customers writing on Houzz between 2017 and 2020 describe gardens they continued to enjoy and tend. In a 2020 review, one homeowner said HomeHarvest planted about 22 trees and described caring for them as life-changing; another that year said the company had planted their raised beds for years. A 2019 reviewer praised an 8-by-8-foot raised bed that supplied kale through the summer. In 2017, a customer described a 5,000-square-foot garden with fruit trees, berries, vegetables, a greenhouse, chicken coop, patio, and perennial flowers, and said HomeHarvest incorporated the requested features. These are specific accounts, though they are several years old. A 2021 article quoted Barkan describing HomeHarvest as focused on edible landscapes and construction rather than lawn mowing, and a 2019 profile located the business in Boston. The company also says its projects are customized to fit each landscape. At a consultation, ask Barkan to confirm the proposed design, construction materials, schedule, and maintenance plan for your property. HomeHarvest may suit homeowners looking to make a garden or productive outdoor space part of a broader landscape project. Its published service area includes Arlington and Greater Boston; confirm that your address is covered and review the scope before booking.
