Common Questions
My yard in Ellsworth has areas of standing water. Can your landscape design help with drainage?
Absolutely. Poor drainage and standing water are common issues in our coastal Maine soils. Our landscape design process specifically addresses this by integrating solutions like strategic grading, French drains, and rain gardens into the overall plan. We use these techniques not just to solve the water problem, but to enhance your landscape's health and beauty, often incorporating native, water-tolerant plants. This creates a functional and attractive yard that prevents erosion and protects your property.
Do you handle the electrical work for outdoor lighting, or do I need to hire a separate electrician?
We handle it all. Our services include both the design and the installation or repair of outdoor electrical systems and light fixtures. Our team is equipped to safely install wiring for landscape lighting, ensuring it's properly integrated with your new design or existing layout. This means you have one trusted local team managing the entire project from the initial concept to the moment the lights turn on, ensuring a seamless and coordinated result.
What does your collaborative design process involve for a residential project?
Our process starts with a conversation to understand your vision, how you use your space, and any challenges like erosion or specific plant preferences. We then develop a personalized design plan that often features native Maine plants for sustainability and local materials like granite. You're involved at every stage, reviewing sketches and plans, so the final design—whether it includes planting beds, stone terraces, or lighting—truly reflects your needs and enhances your home's connection to the Maine landscape.
