CA Monsell and Company | Experienced Landscaping Services in Portland, ME

Our architectural design services include site analysis to identify drainage problems common in Portland's terrain. We create plans that incorporate proper grading solutions—like regrading slopes or adding drainage systems—directly into the overall project. This ensures your property not only looks great but functions well, preventing water pooling and soil erosion that often accompany poor grading.

For Portland's climate, we recommend a proactive maintenance approach: using quality weed barriers under mulch, applying pre-emergent treatments in early spring, and selecting native ground covers that naturally suppress weeds. Our landscape maintenance team can implement and manage these strategies—saving you time while keeping your mulch beds clean and healthy throughout the seasons.

Absolutely. As a full-service general contractor, we coordinate all aspects—from architectural planning to landscaping. For remodeling projects, we assess grading concerns first, then integrate solutions like French drains or regrading into the construction phase. Finally, we install or refresh landscaping with weed-resistant designs. Our project management ensures everything works together seamlessly, addressing both structural and aesthetic needs.
