Residential Landscape Design & Installation
Custom Landscape Design for Southern Maine Homes
From Concept to Completion
Complete Landscape Design
We create comprehensive landscape plans that consider your home's architecture, existing features, sun exposure, drainage, and how your family uses your outdoor space. Every design is custom—never cookie-cutter.
Foundation Plantings
Enhance your home's curb appeal with professionally designed foundation beds featuring shrubs, perennials, and accent plants that frame your home beautifully in every season.
Garden Beds & Borders
From cottage-style perennial gardens to low-maintenance shrub borders, we design beds that add color, texture, and interest throughout the growing season.
Privacy Screening
Create natural boundaries with strategically placed evergreens, ornamental grasses, and hedge plantings that provide privacy without feeling like a fortress.
Native & Pollinator Gardens
Support local ecosystems with designs featuring Maine-native plants that attract butterflies, bees, and birds while requiring less maintenance and water.
Seasonal Color Programs
Keep your landscape vibrant year-round with planned seasonal interest—spring bulbs, summer perennials, fall foliage, and winter structure.
How We Bring Your Vision to Life

We visit your property to discuss your vision, understand how you use your outdoor space, assess site conditions, and establish your budget. This conversation shapes everything that follows.
2. Custom Design Development
Our team creates a detailed landscape plan including plant selections, layout, and phasing if needed. We select plants proven to thrive in Southern Maine's climate.
3. Design Review & Refinement
We present your design, walk through every element, answer questions, and refine details until the plan is exactly what you envisioned.
4. Professional Installation
Our experienced crew handles all site preparation, soil amendments, planting, mulching, and cleanup. We treat your property with care and leave it better than we found it.
5. Establishment Care Guidance
New landscapes need attention to thrive. We provide watering schedules, care instructions, and recommend our landscape maintenance services to protect your investment.
