Five generations of family craftsmanship right here in your community.
Serving Yarmouth Since 1931
Yarmouth's Trusted Landscaping Company
If you live or own a business in Yarmouth — whether that's West Yarmouth, South Yarmouth,
Yarmouth Port, or Bass River — you already know how much the Cape's coastal climate
demands from your property. Sandy soils, salt air, nor'easters, and harsh winters
take a real toll on lawns, trees, and landscapes year after year.
John G. Sears & Son has been caring for Yarmouth properties since 1931. We're not a
company that showed up last season — we're your neighbors, and we've spent 95 years
and five generations learning exactly what Cape Cod properties need to thrive through
every season. From weekly lawn maintenance and seasonal yard cleanup to full landscape
redesigns and winter snow removal, our team is ready to help.
John G. Sears & Son has called Yarmouth home for 95 years and five generations.
We've watched this community grow and change — and we've been caring for its
properties through every season, every storm, and every new chapter along the way.
What We Do
Services We Offer in Yarmouth
South Yarmouth
South Yarmouth is home base for John G. Sears & Son — our shop has been right here on Old Main Street since 1931. We've watched this neighborhood grow from a quiet Cape Cod village into one of the most active year-round communities on the Cape, and we've been caring for its properties every step of the way. From the waterfront homes along Bass River to the established neighborhoods tucked off Route 28, South Yarmouth properties demand real attention — salt air off the water, sandy soils that drain fast, and winters that can be tough on even the healthiest lawn. Nobody knows South Yarmouth landscaping better than we do. This is our community, and every job here feels personal.
When you hire Sears, you're not hiring a contractor. You're hiring a neighbor
who has earned the trust of Yarmouth families for nearly a century.
Yarmouth Port
Yarmouth Port has a character all its own — historic homes along Route 6A, established gardens, mature trees, and a sense of place that takes decades to build. It's one of our favorite parts of the Cape to work in, and one of the most rewarding. The older properties here often have root systems and plantings that need a careful, experienced hand rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Our team understands the particular rhythm of Yarmouth Port — when to prune the ornamentals along the Old King's Highway, how to protect established plantings from late-season frost, and how to keep century-old trees healthy for the next generation. For a village this special, you want a landscaper who appreciates what's already there.
West Yarmouth is one of the Cape's most active year-round communities, and its properties reflect that energy — busy residential streets, commercial corridors, and everything in between. At John G. Sears & Son, we've been maintaining West Yarmouth properties for generations, and we know that the mix of older homes and newer construction here means no two jobs are quite the same. Sandy, fast-draining soils make irrigation and fertilization timing critical. Salt air from Nantucket Sound keeps lawns and ornamentals under constant stress. And the dense tree canopy throughout the neighborhood means spring and fall cleanups are no small undertaking. Whatever your West Yarmouth property needs, we've handled it before — and we'll handle it right.
We are located at 221 Old Main Street, South Yarmouth, MA 02664. You can reach us at (508) 398-8151 or email info@searslandscapingcapecod.com.
We offer a full range of landscaping services in Yarmouth including lawn care and maintenance, lawn fertilization, irrigation systems, tree and shrub care, landscape design and planting, hardscaping, seasonal cleanup, snow removal, beach raking, tree / nursery, and landscape material delivery.
On Cape Cod, spring cleanup is best done in March or April once the ground thaws, and fall cleanup runs from October through early December after the leaves come down. We book Yarmouth properties early each season, so reach out ahead of time to reserve your spot.

Yarmouth's sandy, fast-draining soil does best with drought-tolerant fescue grass blends and salt-tolerant native plantings like bayberry, beach plum, juniper, and ornamental grasses. We can amend beds and put together a planting plan suited to your property's sun and wind exposure.
