Meet the Team
Rooted Here Since 1931
Founded in 1931 by John G. Sears and run by the Sears family for generations, the company passed in 2026 to a local Yarmouth grower — same name, same standards, still locally owned.
From classic New England estates to modern coastal homes, our team blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design to create outdoor spaces that endure.
Our story
The Sears Difference
Most Landscapers Plant Straight Off the Truck.
Ours Settle In First.
Every tree, shrub, and plant we install first spends time at Davenport Farms — our own tree farm and nursery in Brewster — where it's cared for and acclimated to Cape Cod's coastal conditions. By the time it reaches your yard, it's healthy, established, and ready to thrive — something few landscapers can offer.
Healthier, better-established plants
Every plant is tended at our nursery and checked for health — never planted straight off a delivery truck.
Acclimated to Cape Cod's climate
Time at our Brewster nursery lets plants adjust to the local soil and coastal conditions, so they take root faster and thrive far longer.
One team, nursery to finished yard
We hand-select every plant, care for it ourselves, and our own crews handle the planting — no middlemen.
