Westwood, MA’s unique blend of mature woodlands, rolling hills, and established neighborhoods like Islington and High Street presents both opportunities and challenges for residential lawn care. Homeowners often contend with shaded lots from towering oaks and maples, which can limit grass growth and encourage moss. The area’s sloped terrain, especially near Buckmaster Pond and Sheehan School, increases the risk of soil erosion during spring rains. In winter, salt exposure from road treatments can damage turf along driveways and sidewalks, while hot, dry summers may stress lawns without proper irrigation. To help residents navigate these local conditions, the Town of Westwood’s official website offers resources and guidelines for sustainable landscaping and yard maintenance.

Lawn Care Regulations, Stormwater & Permitting in Westwood, MA
Westwood is known for its strong commitment to environmental health, making it essential for residents and contractors to follow local laws before starting any significant landscaping work. The eCode Wetlands Protection Bylaw (Chapter 384) outlines the strict requirements for work near wetlands, water bodies, and conservation zones—important for any property near Downey Street, Everett Street, or near any of Westwood’s many streams and brooks.
If your project includes new patios, expanded driveways, or land grading, it’s vital to comply with Stormwater Regulations & Rules. These rules protect against flooding and pollution, ensuring stormwater from yards and construction sites is safely managed. For a deeper look at the town’s strategic approach to water quality and runoff, see the Stormwater Management Program Overview.
Westwood also participates in regional environmental projects through the Neponset Stormwater Partnership, working with neighboring towns to improve the Neponset River’s health and maintain high standards for water protection.

Top Westwood Lawn Problems (and How We Solve Them)
1. Yard Waste & Brush Buildup:
Each fall and spring, Westwood properties accumulate heavy leaf and brush piles. Our service coordinates with the Yard Waste & Compost Bins program to ensure debris is quickly cleared and properly composted, keeping your yard and the town’s storm drains clear.
2. Stormwater Runoff & Drainage:
Areas like Pond Plain or properties along low-lying streets can face drainage issues during heavy rain. We design solutions that direct water safely and utilize Flood Maps to avoid flooding risk and meet all stormwater regulations.
3. Permitting for Wetland & Conservation Areas:
Westwood’s landscape is rich in protected wetlands. We guide you through the Conservation Application Forms and permitting for any landscape project near conservation land, so your improvements are legal and eco-friendly.
