PARTERRE GARDEN SERVICES

Parterre Garden Services has grown from a Cambridge and North Billerica landscaping outfit into a company with more than 100 employees working from Cape Cod to Maine, and ecological restoration now makes up close to a third of its business. The firm, reporting about two decades in business, does garden design, fine gardening, invasive-plant management and native-plant and meadow restoration out of offices in Greater Boston, Cape Cod, and Maine/New Hampshire. A 2025 review described the crew as efficient, detailed and thorough while assisting with trucking on a City of Boston green infrastructure project led by the firm's Director of Ecological Services. A 2022 review came from a town considering invasive-species removal on public land, calling the ecologist who came out extremely knowledgeable. Industry coverage backs up that reputation: a 2024 article said Parterre has developed a name for landscaping design excellence in Greater Boston, and a 2025 piece called it a leader in its field. Google shows a 3.7-star average from 14 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau gives it an A+. Parterre's own written reviews are thin — just two on file — and its work skews toward institutional, municipal and large residential projects rather than routine yard maintenance; Houzz shows no customer reviews yet either. For a substantial landscape design, an ecological restoration project, or invasive-species management, Parterre brings genuine scale and expertise; for a smaller residential yard job, it's worth confirming upfront that the project fits what the firm typically takes on.
