Landscapers Montague MA | Call Humphrey Garden Design and Landscape

Standing water is a common challenge in our area due to soil composition and topography. We address this by first diagnosing the cause, then implementing solutions like regrading for better drainage, installing subsurface French drains to redirect water, or creating a dry creek bed that also adds landscape interest. Often, integrating a new patio or walkway with proper base materials can also help channel water away from your home effectively.

Absolutely. An unstable rock garden or slope often needs structural support. We construct durable retaining walls using materials like natural stone or segmental blocks to hold back earth and prevent further shifting. As part of the design, we can incorporate proper drainage behind the wall and select resilient, deep-rooted shrubs for planting, creating a stable and attractive feature that lasts for years.

Yes, we provide complete landscape maintenance to protect your investment. This includes seasonal shrub and tree pruning to ensure healthy growth, insect management to protect vulnerable plants, and lawn care to maintain a lush green space. For hardscapes, we check for settling or drainage issues, especially after winter, to ensure your new patio, walkway, or wall continues to perform beautifully and solve the water or stability problems it was designed to address.
