Our Landscaping Design Services
Lawn Renovation & Irrigation
A thick, soft lawn is harder to grow in New England than people think. We rebuild lawns from the soil up, install smart irrigation that adjusts to weather, and use turf blends suited to either full sun or part shade. Many older yards in Newton and Wellesley have soil so compacted that no amount of seed will fix it without aerating, topdressing, and amending first.
Patio & Hardscape Installation
Bluestone, granite, brick, travertine, porcelain pavers. The patio is the room you live in from May to October, so it has to be flat, drain right, and not heave when March hits. We set everything on a deep, properly compacted base because the freeze-thaw in this region punishes shortcuts.
Outdoor Kitchens & Living Spaces
Built-in grills, pizza ovens, soapstone counters, gas fire tables, pergolas with retractable canopies. We build outdoor kitchens that handle real winters. That means stainless components rated for coastal air, gas lines run by licensed plumbers, and roofs or pergolas that can carry a snow load.
Plantings & Garden Design
This is where a yard stops looking like a builder dropped it off and starts looking like home. We lean on plants that earn their keep here: oakleaf hydrangea, inkberry holly, native viburnums, sweetspire, switchgrass, serviceberry, and dwarf conifers that hold their shape through January. For shade-heavy yards in Brookline and Cambridge, we use a lot of hellebores, ferns, and tiarella. Sun-blasted South Shore yards get more grasses, sedums, and salt-tolerant shrubs.
Drainage & Grading
Wet basements, soggy lawns, ice sheets on the driveway in February. Most of these problems trace back to grading. We solve them with French drains, dry wells, regraded swales, and channel drains tied into proper outlets. It's the least glamorous part of a project and almost always the most important. If water isn't moving away from your foundation, nothing else you do in the yard matters.
Custom Landscape
Design
This is the master plan. Before any plants or stone arrive, we walk your property, study sun patterns, talk through how your family actually uses the yard, and draw a full design. A good design saves money later because nothing gets ripped out and redone.
Landscaping Problems We Solve
Most calls we get start with a frustration, not a vision. Here are the issues we hear about most:
- A yard that floods every spring or stays soggy for weeks.
- Patios that have shifted, cracked, or sunk in the corners.
- Old plantings that died off and left bare, scraggly beds.
- Tree roots pushing up walkways.
- Steep slopes that wash out and lose mulch every storm.
- Privacy issues from new construction next door.
- Lawns that won't grow under mature maples or oaks.
- Salt damage along driveways and walkways.
- Outdoor lighting that's outdated, dim, or doesn't work.
- A backyard that looks fine but has no actual gathering space.
If something on that list sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Our 5-Step Landscaping Process
We try to keep the experience simple. Here's how a project moves from first call to finished yard:
Consultation
We meet at your home, walk the property, and listen. We want to know how you live, what bothers you, and what you've always wanted. No design talk yet just questions and notes.
Design
Our designers build a custom plan with site analysis, drainage notes, planting layouts, and material selections. You see drawings, samples, and 3D views. We refine until it's right.
Proposal &
Contract
A clear, line-item proposal with pricing, scope, and timeline. No surprises. Once you approve, we lock in your install slot.
Installation
Our build crew shows up, sets up properly (we protect lawns, driveways, and existing plants), and works the project through to completion. You get a project manager who's reachable every day.
Walk-through & Care Plan
We tour the finished yard together, review how to care for everything, and set up your maintenance schedule. We don't disappear after the last invoice.
Keeping Your Landscape Looking Right
Building it is one thing. Keeping it looking the way it did on day one is another. We offer maintenance programs that match the level of the install:
Garden Care Program
Spring cleanup, mulching, seasonal plant pruning, fall cleanup, bulb planting, and bed edging. This is our most-requested program and keeps planted areas crisp through the year.
Hardscape Maintenance
Joint sand replacement, sealing, pressure washing, and re-leveling for any sections that have shifted. Done once every two to three years, it adds a decade of life to a patio.
Lawn Care Program
Fertilization, aeration, overseeding, weed control, and grub treatment. Tuned to New England's calendar — early spring feeding, summer watering guidance, fall aeration, and winter prep.
Irrigation & Lighting Service
Spring start-up, mid-season checks, fall blowouts, and any repairs in between. For lighting, we re-aim fixtures, replace bulbs, and check transformers each spring.
Snow & Salt Protection
Burlap wraps for winter-burn-prone shrubs, anti-desiccant sprays for broadleaf evergreens, and stake protection along driveways where plows and salt damage are likely.

Landscape Design Services FAQs
Winter, surprisingly. December through February is the ideal time to design, finalize plans, and get on a spring install calendar. If you wait until April or May to call, you're often pushed to a late-summer or fall start because every reputable builder is booked. Installation itself happens April through November, with planting work continuing into December most years.
Sometimes. Patios and plantings usually don't, but anything involving retaining walls over a certain height, drainage tied to the street, pool work, or work near wetlands almost always does. Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, and Newton each have their own quirks. We handle the permitting process as part of our service so you don't have to figure it out.
Both happen all the time. Sometimes a yard has great bones — mature trees, a workable layout — and just needs a refresh. Other times the existing yard is fighting the house and a full reset makes more sense. We give you our honest read after walking the property.
Yes, and we prefer it. The best projects happen when the landscape is part of the conversation early, not bolted on at the end. We coordinate with architects, builders, pool companies, and interior designers regularly across Greater Boston.
