Kenney Landscaping - Harpswell's Experienced Landscaping

In Harpswell, shifting rock gardens are often caused by frost heave and unstable soil. We address this by installing proper retaining walls and edging using durable masonry and concrete. These structures lock rocks and soil in place, provide essential drainage to prevent water buildup that leads to movement, and create a permanent, stable foundation that withstands our coastal freeze-thaw cycles, keeping your landscape intact year-round.

Absolutely. Compacted soil is a common issue here that prevents proper drainage and healthy plant growth. Our landscaping services include core aeration to relieve compaction, amending the soil with organic matter to improve its structure, and installing appropriate drainage solutions like French drains. This process enhances water infiltration, encourages deep root growth, and creates a healthier foundation for your lawn and gardens.

The key is proactive, expert design and installation. For any new project, we start with a site analysis to understand your soil composition and drainage patterns. We then design the landscape with proper grading to direct water away from structures, select plants suited for our local conditions, and incorporate permeable hardscaping and subsurface drainage where needed. This integrated approach builds resilience into your property from the start, preventing common issues like compaction and erosion.
