Cline Landscape Design and Consulting - Belmont's Experienced Landscapers

Poor grading directs water toward your home's foundation or creates soggy areas. Our landscape design process starts with a precise site analysis to map water flow. We then create a custom grading plan, often incorporating solutions like regrading the soil, installing French drains or dry creek beds, and using water-loving plants in rain gardens. The design not only solves the drainage problem but integrates these functional elements seamlessly into a beautiful, cohesive landscape.

Absolutely. Tree roots are a common challenge in Belmont. Instead of costly tree removal, our designs offer creative solutions. We might design a decorative tree ring with permeable paving or mulch to cover the root zone, transition the area into a shade garden with ground covers that tolerate roots, or incorporate raised planting beds or decking over the problematic area. This preserves your mature trees while giving you a usable, attractive outdoor space.

We begin with an on-site consultation to understand your goals and assess the grading and root issues. Next, we develop a detailed master plan that includes both the aesthetic vision and the technical solutions—like regrading specifications or root barrier placement. We present this plan, explain each step, and provide a clear implementation roadmap. Whether you tackle the project in phases or all at once, you have a trusted, expert-designed blueprint to solve your lawn's problems and achieve your dream landscape.
