Why Our History Matters to You
Longstanding local experience translates directly to better outcomes for clients. New England’s climate presents particular challenges—spring thaws, summer humidity, and late-season frost all influence lawn care and tree health. Our teams have worked through seasons and storms for years, learning what works for Franklin’s soils, salt-exposed shorelines, and inland properties. That history means we avoid common mistakes, anticipate seasonal problems, and deliver practical, budget-conscious recommendations.
Our Story
Berry Cove Gardens INC. has been serving Franklin, ME and nearby communities since 1981. Founded on a commitment to craftsmanship, reliability, and honest service, our company began as a small, family-run landscape and lawn care team. Over four decades we have grown into a full-service lawn care and tree work company while keeping the same principles: integrity, local knowledge, and attention to detail. Our headquarters at 45 S Bay Rd in Franklin anchors our work in the community we serve—neighbors helping neighbors maintain safe, beautiful outdoor spaces.
Community Involvement
We are proud to be part of Franklin’s community fabric—helping homeowners, property managers, and businesses maintain properties that contribute positively to the neighborhood. Over the years, we have supported local events and worked with nearby organizations to restore properties, remove storm-damaged trees, and improve public spaces.
Safety and Compliance
Safety is central to everything we do. For tree work—where risks are elevated—we follow ANSI standards and industry best practices for pruning and removals. All crew members are trained in safe rigging, fall protection, and chainsaw safety. For pest and fertilizer applications, we adhere to state labeling, product recommendations, and environmental precautions to protect people, pets, and waterways.

Our Team: Skilled, Local, and Service-Oriented
Berry Cove Gardens supports practices that reduce chemical dependence while improving landscape resilience. Our recommendations emphasize soil testing, proper mowing practices, mulching, and targeted treatments only when necessary. For pest control, we prioritize integrated pest management (IPM) strategies that use mechanical, biological, and cultural controls before chemical measures are considered. When chemical treatments are used, they are applied responsibly and precisely.
