Down to Earth Landscapes: Reliable Landscaping Serving Kensington, NH 03833

Poor grading often leads to water pooling against your foundation or creating soggy areas. Our landscape design process starts with a detailed site analysis to map out the problem. We then create a custom grading plan, often incorporating solutions like strategic grading, swales, or dry creek beds to redirect water away from your home and into appropriate drainage areas. This foundational fix protects your property's structure and creates a healthier base for your new lawn and plantings.

Our design service looks beyond just seeding bare spots. We first diagnose the cause—whether it's compacted soil, poor drainage, shade, or disease. The design will include soil amendments, proper grading for even water distribution, and a tailored planting plan that might involve a more suitable grass blend or alternative groundcovers that thrive in Kensington's conditions. We design for long-term health, not just a quick fix, to prevent the patches from returning.

Start with the grading. Drainage is the foundation of a healthy landscape. We recommend beginning with a design consultation where we assess your entire property. Correcting the grading first ensures that when we address the bare patches with new soil, sod, or seed, the area will receive proper water flow without washing away or becoming waterlogged. This integrated approach saves time and money, solving the root cause before beautifying the surface.
