Welcome Merrimack Valley Magazine Readers

by Tom on May 6, 2010

We are very excited about our new partnership with the Merrimack Valley magazine, which area residents will be receiving this week.

Dana Landscaping has been based in the Merrimack Valley for nearly 50 years.  We take great pride in our work, which brings great landscape design to Valley homes and businesses in the form of water gardens, traditional hardscapes (patios, walkways), plantings, fire pits and landscape lighting.

And our commitment to service is second to none.

Pond cleanings are almost done… the fun work is about to start

by admin on April 26, 2010

We have over 150 ponds in the area — and our season starts early with cleanings and water plant maintenance to get everything off to a fresh start.  We divide the water lilies and the hearty marginals.  We clean out all of winter’s build up… freshen the water supply.  Before we head out, we also consult with the fish on how they passed another New England winter.

Once we get reacquainted, then the new construction projects begin: we have a blue stone patio, patio and firepit going in in North Andover; a blue stone patio, water garden, fire pit and planting in Andover… this is the really fun part.

Contact us if you have questions, these problems can be dealt with quickly [...]

Rule #1: Don’t name the fish

April 23, 2009

We live in New England — and in addition to the beauty of four seasons, the mountains to the north, the Atlantic to the east and south, we have great blue herons and other birds of prey.
Do yourself a favor, add cute fish to your pond… just don’t give them names.  You’ll miss them.

Have you trimmed your grasses yet?

April 23, 2009

Now is a great time to trim last year’s now-brown blades away from your grasses.  Trim down to just above the new growth.  They should take off before you know it now that things are really warming up.
