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."

"Last summer we hired another company to address a drainage and water pooling issue in our backyard. Once the work was finally done it was evident that the pooling and drainage issue was not resolved. In fact, it became worse. We reached out to Bocash Brothers after it became evident that we were going nowhere with the other company. Out of all the landscape companies we contacted to get quotes Bocash Brothers outshone the rest. We had so many no call no shows, but Bocash Brothers even went the extra step of calling to simply confirm our appointment. I met with Dillon and right off the bat it was clear that he knew what he was talking about. He was very professional, prompt, and educated me on my backyard needs and what my options were. Communication with Bocash Brothers was excellent throughout the process, any time I had a question or concern I had no problems reaching Dillon on the phone. They scheduled us soon after we signed the contract and completed the work in just ONE day. The whole crew was professional and friendly. I could immediately tell the difference in the work done between the original company versus Bocash Brothers. I highly recommend working with Bocash Brothers for any landscaping needs. It’s now been almost two months and our grass is growing in. Most importantly, NO POOLING ISSUES!"

However, they broke one of the covers to our septic system during their most recent cleaning and, despite repeated calls/requests that they fix the issue, they still have not done so three months later. We now have to find another provider."

FAQs for xeriscape installation projects in Cambridge, 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.
