Summit Organic Landcare

About Summit Organic Landcare

Since 2004, Summit Organic Landcare has helped South Shore families transition from chemical-dependent lawns to naturally healthy, thriving landscapes. We use only 100% organic, pet-safe and kid-safe products — so the spaces where your family plays are spaces you can trust.

Our Mission

Build healthier soil, healthier yards, and a healthier South Shore — one lawn at a time.

Our Promise

No toxic runoff. No warning labels. 1% of every sale donated to environmental organizations.

Going organic is a process, not a quick fix. The longer we work with your lawn, the better it gets — thicker turf, deeper roots, and a landscape that actually thrives without chemicals.

"During last summer, when we used Summit Landscape for our mosquito/tick control, our dog never even had one tick — and we back up to the end of the South River. We were able to sit outdoors ourselves comfortably and entertain, without pesky mosquitoes bothering us."
— Carol B.
"I didn't think it was possible to live in New England and go all summer long without a single tick or be bothered by those pesky mosquitoes, but last summer I had that pleasure! The garlic spray is unbelievable — it creates an imaginary bubble over your yard so that you can enjoy being outside during the warm summer nights. And to not have to worry about pulling ticks off me or the dog really was an added comfort. I will definitely be having Dave come and spray every summer. Thank you!"
— Kate M.
"As parents of two young children, we were concerned about using chemicals to control ticks and mosquitoes, so an organic alternative was a great find. Dave treats our yard on a regular schedule, and it makes a big difference."
— Chris C.
"I have two small kids and am concerned about the hazards from mosquitoes/ticks. Since having my yard treated a few times a year by Summit Landscape, I have not found any ticks on the kids and rarely use bug spray. Very happy with results."
— Jason L.
"The tick activity in 2012 was the worst we have seen in nearly 10 years. The organic spray treatments were effective, and we were confident our dogs would not see side-effects like they would through conventional treatments."
— Mark S.
"Before Dave started spraying my yard for mosquito/tick control, I couldn't even mow my lawn without having at least three ticks on me. After he starting spraying his environmentally-friendly bug spray, I, my family, and our dog have not had one tick on us. We can now play free in our backyard."
— Jeff S.
