🌱 For Seasons Landscape Design — New England Landscaping FAQ's
1. What landscaping services do you offer for New England properties?
We specialize in four-season landscape design built for New England’s climate. Our services include landscape design, native plantings, lawn installation, hardscaping that withstands freeze–thaw cycles, drainage solutions, grading, mulch and bed maintenance, and seasonal cleanups. Every project is built to perform in cold winters and humid summers.
2. Do your landscape designs hold up during harsh New England winters?
Yes. All materials, plants, and construction methods are chosen for New England durability. We use frost-resistant pavers, deep base prep for patios and walkways, proper drainage layers, and cold-tolerant plant varieties. This ensures your landscape stays beautiful through snow, ice, and spring thaw.
3. What plants grow best in the New England climate?
We prioritize native and cold-hardy plants, such as hydrangeas, boxwoods, hostas, ornamental grasses, daylilies, maples, and evergreens. These thrive in New England’s four-season environment and require less maintenance. We customize plant selections to your soil type, sunlight levels, and aesthetic.
4. Do you install patios and walkways that can handle freeze–thaw conditions?
Absolutely. Our hardscaping is engineered specifically for New England using proper base depth, compacted gravel layers, polymeric sand, and durable pavers or stone. This prevents shifting, cracking, and heaving during winter freeze–thaw cycles.
5. What areas do you serve in New England?
We serve Marblehead, Swampscott, Salem and Beverly. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, feel free to reach out.
6. How long does a typical project take with New England weather conditions?
Timelines depend on the season.
- Spring & Summer: Ideal for planting, patios, new lawns, and major builds.
- Fall: Great for planting, aeration, and prep for winter.
Winter: We still design landscapes and can complete some hardscaping during mild stretches.
7. Do you offer seasonal and year-round maintenance?
Yes — we provide seasonal cleanups, mulch installs, pruning, plant care, lawn maintenance, fall leaf removal, winter protection for plants, and storm cleanup after heavy snow or wind. Our maintenance plans help keep your property healthy through all four seasons.
8. Can you help prevent water pooling, erosion, or drainage problems?
Definitely. New England’s heavy spring rains and rapid snowmelt often cause yard flooding. We install French drains, dry wells, swales, grading corrections, gutter extensions, and permeable patios to control water flow and protect your landscape and foundation.
9. Are you licensed and insured to work in New England?
Yes, we are fully licensed and insured to perform landscaping and hardscaping throughout the region. All work meets local New England building standards and environmental regulations.
