BITTERSWEET IN FOSTER
“Our beloved 5 acres in the country had a worsening problem: an infestation of bittersweet, a fast-spreading invasive vine that murders the trees it climbs. Enter the amazing sam of Astrodime ... Who scientifically assessed ... and then over a few months fixed ... the problem (the fix wasn’t easy ... but sam was affordable ... and SO worth it). Now our rural acres are healthy again, flourishing with wildlife, a pleasure to walk and enjoy. “— Tom Ahern and Simone Joyaux, Foster, Rhode Island
GARDEN OF MANY MICROCLIMATES
“Sam is the perfect gardener if you want, like me, to work in close consultation with a person who is exceptionally knowledgeable, especially regarding invasive plant species, and remarkably thorough in rooting them out before replacing them with carefully selected and arrayed native perennials. Light hardscaping provides convenient access to back sections of the garden and serves to define special focal areas (e.g., a miniature herb garden or the area around the new Serviceberry Tree). Highly recommended!.” -David W, Client
REORGANIZING A YARD FOR A NEW HOME
“I am so grateful to have found Sam just a couple of months after moving into our home. Our property has overgrowth and had invasive bittersweet, Norway maple, and other invasive weeds. They identified everything I have on the property and divided the work into manageable zones in an eco audit which is like Wikipedia for my yard. Anything that is too big for Sam to handle, they have someone they know can do the job and Sam has been an excellent go-between. I highly recommend Astrodime and look forward to continuing to work with them.”
-Ashley and Sam (North Smithfield, RI)
WISTERIA EATS A GARAGE
“We’re elated with the work — and the people! In addition to providing incredible service on improving and modifying our home’s outdoor ecosystem, Sam is a genius and a fantastic person to talk to. They put together an ecosystem audit for our property that was like a Wikipedia entry for our own yard! Highest recommendation.”

JAPANESE MAPLE TREE PLANTING
“I highly recommend Astrodime. They guided me through the process of choosing the right kind of tree to plant, and where to plant it. They took great care in choosing and purchasing the tree then planting it.”
-Karen, North Providence, Rhode Island
KNOTWEED ID AND RECOMMENDATIONS
“Sam is extremely methodical and thorough in their approach to dealing with invasive plants. They are well educated in how to deal with and eliminate problem plants like Japanese Knotweed. They are very professional and articulate when speaking to their clients. Highly recommend.”
-Denise, Cumberland RI
ECOSYSTEM AUDIT AND WEED ID
“Sam came to my house and let me know the various types of weed species in my yard. Their report was clear, easy to read and provide information to move ahead with new action items for my yard. I would highly recommend them if you truly want to understand your lawn.”
