Mowing, mulch and bed edging. Sprinkler systems diagnosed and repaired. Patios, walls and french drains. Fruit and ornamental tree pruning done right. One local crew, four towns, sixteen seasons.
Landscaping in Central Mass runs on the calendar, not the clock. Here's what the crew is scheduling this month and what's coming next, so you know when to call.
We're not a franchise with a call center. You'll talk directly to the person who shows up at your house.
The regular upkeep that keeps a property looking cared for instead of catching up on it every June.
Sprinkler systems that have stopped working the way they should. We find the actual cause rather than swapping parts until something changes.
Patios, walls and french drains. Anything that involves moving earth or moving water — we look at the grade first and put a few options in front of you before anybody breaks ground.
Trimming cuts a tree back. Pruning cuts with a plan — opening the canopy, taking out crossing limbs, and restoring the health and growth of the tree. On fruit trees it's the difference between a handful of apples and a real crop.
We cap the route on purpose. A short list is the only way to keep clearing times short instead of stretching one crew across half the county — which is why the commercial side is already closed for this winter.
Driveways, walkways and front steps in Lunenburg, Leominster, Fitchburg and the surrounding towns. Seasonal contracts or per-storm — most customers go seasonal so they don't have to think about it in February.
We go out at a 2″ trigger and come back through as the storm keeps building.
The commercial route filled early this year, mostly with properties that renewed from last winter. We are not taking new lots for this season, and we would rather tell you that now than in December.
If you want to be first in line for next winter, we start those conversations in spring — early enough to walk the property in daylight and price it honestly. Here is what the route covers:
Named contact, storm-by-storm logs, and a service level written into the contract. Ask to be added to the 2027–28 list and we will reach out in the spring.
Residential driveways are still open for this winter. Commercial lots are full — get on next season's list now.

Barefoot started in 2010 with a truck, a trailer and a handful of Lunenburg lawns. We've grown since, but not so much that you'll get passed around. The person who gives you the estimate is the person on the job.
Working the same towns year after year means we know the ground here — which yards hold water in April, which streets the town plows sand into, how a fruit tree that hasn't been touched in five years should be brought back. That's not something a company from two counties over can offer you.
We're fully insured, we show up when we say we will, and we'll tell you when a job isn't worth doing.

Based in Lunenburg. We cover the surrounding towns of North Central Massachusetts — if you're near the edge of the list, call and ask.
No. We'll come out, walk the property with you and put a written number in your hands at no cost. Most estimates go back within 48 hours.
Yes, fully insured. We're happy to send a certificate of insurance before any work starts.
Both. Some customers are on a weekly maintenance schedule, others call us once a year for a fall cleanup or a pruning day. Either is fine.
Usually, and often for less than people expect. It depends where the water is coming from — roof runoff, the grade off a neighboring property, or a low spot with no outlet. We prefer to walk it during or right after a heavy rain so we can see where the water actually travels instead of guessing. Sometimes the answer is a french drain, sometimes it is just regrading or moving a downspout.
Not yet. Fall is one of the better times for hardscape — the ground is workable and the schedule opens up once mowing slows down. We typically build into November depending on weather.
Yes. Residential spots are still open, but they go quickly once the first forecast appears — the last two weeks before a storm are always the busiest calls we get. Seasonal or per-storm, either works.
Not for this winter — the 2026–27 commercial route is full. We cap it deliberately so the lots we do cover get cleared overnight rather than sometime that afternoon. Ask to be added to next season's list and we will reach out in the spring, which gives us time to walk the property properly before pricing it.
Trimming is shaping. Pruning is a technique for restoring and improving the health and growth of a tree or shrub — opening up the canopy, removing crossing and dead wood, and encouraging fruit production. Done wrong it sets a tree back for years, which is why we do it in the dormant season.
A few details is all we need to get you a number. If it's easier, just call — you'll get a person, not a menu.
