In 2008 East Woods Landscaping Inc. of Topsfield, Massachusetts was founded by Todd Garfield. Born and raised in the east woods of Topsfield, Todd had a dream of opening a full service landscape company to service the area he had grown to know and love.

     E.W.L. Inc. was founded on a strong work ethic dating back to 1994 when Todd worked as his father's assistant maintaining the building and grounds of Trinity Episcopal Church & Preschool in Topsfield, MA.  Every day after school, sports practices, or work Todd and his brother would meet their father to assist in the cleaning and landscaping of the property.  In 2001, Todd refurbished the landscaping of the church grave yard for his Eagle Scout Project. In 2002, for his high school senior internship he built a blue stone walkway to access the church bell tower. 

     During his college years in Boulder, CO. Todd held various positions at Massachusetts and Colorado based landscape companies.  Unhappy with the work ethic, job quality, and attention to detail he knew it was time to start a company that based its reputation upon these three pillars. At last East Woods Landscaping Inc, a full service landscape maintenance and construction company was born.
