Kent Blades has been in the excavation business since 1969. Kent operates the equipment and over sees the work. Kent Blades Excavating Inc. has 1-2 employees, depending on the job. Kent Blades Excavating Inc. is fully licensed and insured

"Unfortunately, I did not get the job done at all. Actually, not only did he abandon the work but did not even finish what he had started, and that cost me an extra $2,900. Like one of the reviewer's comments, I was fooled into engaging him because he appeared honest and sincere for a man of his age and stated 56 years of experience. That's a complete opposite is what this man is. I would not touch him with a pole the length of a mile. I would rate him a star only because I have to rate him."

We now have to find another provider."

"I’ve been using Biomass Tree and Landscaping for over 15 years, they do a variety of outdoor services—yard work, tree maintenance, and snow plowing—and they have consistently gone above and beyond. Their team is reliable, knowledgeable, and incredibly hardworking. Whether it’s a routine lawn cleanup, trimming overgrown trees, or handling a last-minute snowstorm, they show up on time and get the job done right. I really appreciate how they take care of every detail, leaving my yard looking neat and well-maintained year-round. During winter, their snow plowing services have been a lifesaver. They’re prompt, thorough, and make sure walkways and driveways are completely cleared and safe. It’s such a relief knowing I can count on them no matter the weather. If you’re looking for a dependable, professional crew for year-round yard and property care, I highly recommend Biomass Tree and Landscaping Their work speaks for itself, and their customer service is outstanding."

FAQs for xeriscape installation projects in Somerville, MA

Sprinkler systems aren't ideal for xeriscaped gardens because they can't effectively water around rocks and hardscape elements. Water often runs off or evaporates before reaching the soil. Instead, a drip irrigation system is a better choice, as it delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient water use and promoting healthy growth.

Your xeriscaped garden requires minimal yet essential maintenance. Regularly inspecting and adjusting your drip irrigation system, along with occasionally adding mulch and gravel, keeps your garden operating efficiently. Routine tasks—such as pruning, aerating, fertilizing, and soil testing—promote deep-root development and sustained plant health. This ensures maintenance remains low while your garden preserves its water-saving design. 

While the initial cost of xeriscaping can be similar to or even higher than traditional landscaping, it often saves you money in the long run. Xeriscaping reduces water usage and requires less maintenance, lowering your ongoing costs. In drought-prone areas, these savings can make xeriscaping a more affordable and sustainable option over time.

Xeriscaping has potential disadvantages that include high initial labor and a departure from traditional lush landscapes. It demands extensive planning and careful installation, which increases upfront effort. Additionally, the less conventional appearance may not suit every homeowner’s taste and could impact curb appeal in areas where traditional greenery is valued, though its water-saving benefits remain advantageous.

Yes, xeriscaping can increase your home's value, especially in drought-prone areas. A water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape is attractive to buyers looking to save on water bills and reduce upkeep. While the exact increase in value varies, xeriscaping often enhances curb appeal and marketability to potential homebuyers when you’re selling your home.
