Q&A
My lawn in New Sharon is bumpy and damaged from tree roots. Can you fix it and prevent it from happening again?
Absolutely. We start with excavation and regrading to address the root damage and level the soil. For a long-term solution, we often recommend installing a sturdy, locally-sourced stone retaining wall or a French drain system to manage water runoff and protect tree roots. We then re-grade the area and can install a new lawn or a low-maintenance greenscape designed to thrive in our local conditions.
We have severe water runoff and soil erosion on our sloped property. What hardscape solutions do you offer?
Erosion is a common issue here. Our most effective solutions include constructing custom retaining walls to hold back soil and create usable level areas, along with professional regrading and trenching for proper drainage. We can also install permeable patios, walkways, and driveways using materials like gravel or pavers set on a stone base, which help absorb water and reduce runoff directly at your home.
What's involved in your landscape design and construction process for a new patio or walkway?
Our process is thorough and local-focused. First, we assess your soil and drainage—key factors in Maine. Then, we design a patio, walkway, or terrace that complements your home and land, using durable materials suited for our freeze-thaw cycles. Our construction includes proper excavation, a compacted stone base for stability, and expert masonry installation. We often integrate irrigation design to keep surrounding landscaping healthy, ensuring your entire outdoor space is functional and beautiful for years.
