EZ Lawn Care Landscaping Landscape Mowing

Hull's Conservation Commission enforces the Wetlands Protection Act, and because nearly the whole peninsula is coastal, resource-area review is routine — coastal banks, dunes, beaches, and salt marsh carry a 100-foot buffer with a strict no-disturb inner zone, so most shoreline landscape work needs an Order of Conditions. Velocity flood zones add scrutiny given Hull's exposure. Retaining walls and seawall-adjacent structures over four feet need a building permit and engineering. The building department handles pools and structures, and public shade trees are protected under state law.

Hull pricing runs high for coastal and access reasons. Weekly mowing runs $50-85, with small tightly-packed lots sometimes priced as flat visits. Spring cleanup $300-700, fall cleanup $350-1,000. Bark mulch installed runs $95-140 per yard. Irrigation runs $5,500-9,500. Storm-durable stone or paver hardscape runs $12-18K, with tight-access beach lots and seawall-adjacent work costing more. Full design-build with salt-tolerant plantings, irrigation, and hardscape typically lands $25K-90K, and waterfront properties run higher once coastal review, storm-resilient construction, and difficult access are factored in.

Massachusetts requires a written contract and a Home Improvement Contractor registration for most residential landscaping work; ask for the registration number and check it before paying a deposit.
