True North Land Design: Licensed Landscaping Serving Beverly, MA 01915

Poor grading directs water toward your home's foundation, which is a common issue in Beverly. Our landscape design process includes a precise site analysis to map water flow. We then create a custom grading plan, often incorporating subtle slopes, swales, or dry creek beds, to redirect water away from your house and into appropriate drainage areas. This protects your foundation and prevents soggy, unusable sections of your yard.

Our designs proactively combat weeds by focusing on healthy, dense plantings. We select robust, region-appropriate plants that outcompete weeds for space and resources. The design also includes strategic use of mulch and ground covers to block sunlight from reaching weed seeds, and we plan for proper bed edging to create clear barriers that prevent lawn grasses and invasive weeds from encroaching into your garden beds.

We start with a walk-through of your property to discuss your vision and identify specific issues like grading trouble spots or weedy areas. We'll assess soil conditions, sun exposure, and existing plantings. This collaborative session allows us to understand your needs fully so we can craft a practical, beautiful design plan tailored to solve your property's unique challenges and enhance your Beverly home's outdoor living space.
