Tell Us What You Want Planted
Send us the basics on your property and what you have in mind, foundation shrubs, a privacy screen, a tree line, or color in the beds, and we’ll set up a time to come take a look and get you an estimate.
What's Included in Our Planting
Planting is what makes a home’s property feel finished, and the right plants in the right spots turn a bare yard into something that looks designed instead of just filled.
The catch down here is that the shore is hard on plants, salt air burns the wrong ones, sandy soil drains fast and dries them out, and what thrives two blocks inland can struggle near the water, so the selection matters as much as the planting.
We match every plant to the spot and the conditions, prep the ground, and set each one to root in and fill out. The whole point is plants you are enjoying years from now, not replacing every spring because the wrong thing went in the wrong place. When a lot needs to be opened up or leveled first, we also handle land clearing and grading before anything goes in.
Our Planting Services
Foundation and Shrub Planting
Foundation plantings are what frame the house and soften the lines of the home, and they are the first thing anyone sees pulling up. We set shrubs along the front and sides at the right spacing and depth so they fill in and stay in proportion to the house, instead of crowding the windows or swallowing the walkway in two seasons.
We pick varieties that take the sun or shade each side of the house actually gets and the salt exposure that comes with being near the water, so the plantings hold their shape and color year after year.
Privacy Screening and Tree Lines
A line of the right plants along a property line gives you privacy and a windbreak without the cost and upkeep of fencing the whole yard. We install screening and tree lines spaced so they grow into a solid, continuous wall of green rather than a row of gaps, and we choose species that handle the wind and salt that hit an exposed property line down here.
Done right, the screen fills in and does its job for decades, which is the difference between planting it once and replanting the holes every few years.
Salt and Sandy Soil Plant Selection
Most of the planting failures we get called to fix come down to the wrong plant in shore conditions, not bad luck. Salt air and fast-draining sandy soil punish anything that was bred for richer ground and milder air, so the selection is where the job is won or lost.
We choose plants proven to take the salt, the sand, and the sun or wind a given spot gets, so they establish on their own and last, instead of needing to be coddled through every summer and replaced every spring.
Ground Prep and Establishment
A plant is only as good as the ground it goes into, and sandy shore soil needs real prep to give roots something to hold and feed on. We work the soil, set each plant at the right depth and spacing for what it is and how big it gets, and build the planting so it roots in and establishes instead of sitting and sulking.
Because we plant things suited to the conditions in the first place, the plantings take hold and carry on without constant babysitting, which matters most on a property you are not at every day.
What Good Planting Does for a Home
Planting is the layer that makes a property read as cared for instead of bare, and it is a big part of what a home looks like in person and in every listing photo if you ever sell.
The right plantings frame the house, screen what you do not want to see, and carry color and shape through the seasons, and they do it for years when they are chosen and set correctly.
The wrong ones do the opposite, struggling, thinning out, and dying back until the front of the house looks neglected no matter how clean everything else is. Down here, where salt and sandy soil are hard on a landscape, the homes that look good year after year are the ones planted for the conditions instead of fighting them.
