Landscaping

Lawns, beds, grading and planting. We take on the whole yard, not just the parts visible from the street.

How a lawn actually gets fixed

Most calls start with one dead patch of lawn and end up being a drainage problem. We would rather fix the cause than sod over it twice.

Everything gets drawn before anything gets dug. You see plant names, mature sizes and where the grades run, so there are no surprises in year three when the arborvitae hits the gutter.

What is included

  • Soil and drainage

    We test before we plant. Compacted clay and standing water kill more installs than winter does.

  • Lawn renovation

    Slice seeding, full regrade, or sod where it has to look finished in a weekend.

  • Planting plans

    Natives and proven performers for the seacoast. Salt tolerance matters here more than people think.

  • Bed edging

    Cut spade edge or steel. No plastic, it always heaves.

  • Mulch and topdressing

    Bark mulch or compost, at the right depth. Volcano mulching kills trees.

  • Irrigation coordination

    We do not install systems but we plan the zones with whoever does.

How a lawn actually gets fixed

  1. 01

    Find out why it failed

    Compaction, shade, grubs, dogs or drainage. Fixing the wrong one costs you a season.

  2. 02

    Correct the grade

    Water needs somewhere to go. Sometimes that is a swale, sometimes it is four inches of loam.

  3. 03

    Build the soil

    Six inches of screened loam and compost. Thin soil is why lawns burn out in August.

  4. 04

    Seed or sod

    Fescue blend for sun, fine fescue in shade. Sod when the timeline demands it.

What it runs

Ranges, not quotes. Every property is different and the only honest number comes after we walk it.

  • Bed renovation$2,500 to $8,000
  • Lawn renovation$4,000 to $14,000
  • Full yard redesign$18,000 and up
  • Plant guaranteeOne year, replaced once

Planting alone books six to eight weeks out in season. Full redesigns run four to five months.
