Doug Curtiss Landscape Design

Doug Curtiss Landscaping is a family owned and operated full service landscape construction, property maintenance, and snow and ice management business. For over 35 years we have worked closely with our clients to envision, install, and maintain distinctive landscaping for residential and commercial properties throughout Eastern and Central Massachusetts. We take immense pride in our ability to execute customized landscape designs which visually enrich client properties, and serve their particular property uses and lifestyles.

Doug Curtiss Landscaping snow and ice management is a superior level of service offered to properties such as HOAs, office parks, shopping centers, and medical facilities. Well before the first snowfall we will conduct a site review of your property, accompanied by the site team and the territory manager, in order to understand a property's snow removal, walkway clearing, and de-icing needs. We will then develop a specific plan that satisfies the particular challenges inherent in your site. In this way, when our snow management team shows up during a snow event they have a clear understanding of the strategy to be used when clearing snow on your property, including what spaces to keep open and the location of snow storage areas.

Stone features are integral to the process of creating a functional and visually appealing landscape. Whether building a sitting or retaining wall, bench, fireplace, outdoor kitchen, or accent, our masonry staff brings creativity and a vast amount of experience to each stone element we create. In using industry best materials and industry best practice installation techniques, our stone work is built to endure the ever changing New England climate, and tastefully complement the environment. It might be a natural stepping stone path meandering through the woods, a retaining wall to complement your landscape, or a front entrance brick walk.

Plantings are the most important part of any landscape. They add structure, color, and height, and provide privacy, create traffic flow, and accent, and beautify your outdoor surroundings. Doug Curtiss Landscaping knows how to select the right plants, trees and shrubs to enhance your front entrance, screen out undesirable views, or enclose spaces to create privacy. Whether it is a majestic beech, a boxwood hedge, an ornamental Japanese maple or birch, we offer you our expert guidance so that the location and choice of plantings achieve the intended purpose, and its full potential.

What characterizes our landscape construction and installation is an alluring blend of functionality, aesthetic appeal, and significant property value enhancement. We create in your backyard a delightful extension of your residence, where you can get away from it all without leaving your home. In these unique and captivating verdant spaces you can retreat quietly, entertain, dine, gather with friends and family, or simply soothe yourself looking out on your property from a favorite window. Doug Curtiss Landscaping's use of natural and hardscape features creates stunning outdoor spaces that project an impeccable elegant feel, accentuating the architecture of your home and the enjoyment of living in it.

Today, water features are enjoying immense popularity among homeowners of all types - and for good reason. The allure of splashing water and bubbles created by rocky stream beds or fountains increases your connection with the soothing acoustic rhythms and visual splendor of nature. A water feature provides an appealing, almost hypnotic viewpoint to any landscape, however large or small, and can bring your landscape to life by providing micro-habitats for plants, fish and wildlife. At Doug Curtiss Landscaping we know how to enhance your property with a water feature that is both visually and aurally stimulating, and provides you with a landscape element that will truly set your property apart in appeal and value.
