What The Service Is
Heritage Tree Solutions brings an arborist’s knowledge to landscape design, with a focus on trees, shrubs, and woody plantings as the foundation of an outdoor space. Landscape design here means thinking through how plantings will grow, interact with each other and with the structures on the property, and hold up in Southern Rhode Island conditions over the long term. We do not provide lawn installation or mowing services — our scope is the woody plants and the framework they create.
Who Is the Service For
Homeowners who want to improve the appearance and structure of their outdoor space with thoughtful, well-placed plantings. Property owners who have had trees removed and want to rethink the landscape around the resulting gaps. Commercial properties and HOA communities that need to maintain plantings, hedges, and shrubs on a regular schedule. Anyone who wants the trees and shrubs on their property to look good and stay healthy long-term would benefit from having a trained arborist involved in the design process.
How It’s Typically Performed
We begin with a site walkthrough to understand the space — existing conditions, what is working, what is not, and what the customer is trying to accomplish. From there, we work on a plan that matches plantings to site conditions: sunlight, soil, drainage, space available at maturity, and proximity to structures. We handle the installation of trees, shrubs, and other landscape plantings, and can also provide ongoing landscape maintenance — including hedge trimming, shrub pruning, and annual care for planting beds. Lawn mowing is not part of our scope.
Benefits and Outcomes
A well-designed landscape does not just look better — it functions better over time. Plantings chosen and placed with their mature size and growth habits in mind require less intervention, cause fewer problems, and maintain their intended character without constant correction. For customers interested in annual maintenance contracts — HOAs managing common area plantings, condo associations maintaining hedges, or homeowners who want consistent seasonal care — Heritage Tree Solutions can discuss a maintenance schedule that fits the property.
Local Relevance
Landscape design in Southern Rhode Island requires accounting for coastal conditions, wind exposure, and soil types that vary significantly across the region. Heritage Tree Solutions works with plant material that performs well in these conditions and positions plantings to give them the best chance of long-term success. We serve residential and commercial landscape design customers throughout Westerly, Charlestown, Richmond, South Kingstown, Narragansett, and surrounding communities.
Paired Services
Landscape design often ties directly into tree planting — the trees we recommend as part of a design plan are planted by Heritage Tree Solutions with proper technique and species-specific site matching. For clients with existing trees that need maintenance before or after a design project, tree trimming and pruning can be incorporated into the overall scope. Storm damage cleanup, when needed, often becomes a reset point for rethinking the landscape — and that is something we can help plan and execute as well.
