What We Build
Landscaping Design & LightingHow We Bring It Together
The stonework is the bones of the yard. The lawn, the planting beds, the irrigation and the lighting are what make it feel finished. We design the whole space in 3D and build it with one crew: plantings, beds and lawn, irrigation, and low-voltage LED lighting that we install ourselves. Here is how, step by step.

Step 1
Design the whole yard in 3D
We design the patio, the walls, the plantings, the lawn and the lights together, in a custom 3D design of your own yard. You see where every bed, path and light goes before anything is dug.
Designing it all at once is what makes the yard look planned instead of added onto one piece at a time.
Step 2
Grade the ground and fix the soil
Before anything is planted, we grade the yard so water runs away from the house and the stonework, and we bring in good loam where the existing soil is sand or fill. Plants and lawn are only as good as what they grow in.
Step 3
Planting beds and lawn
We plant the beds, edge them, finish them with mulch, and set stepping stones and boulders where they belong. Around the new work we bring in loam and seed so the lawn comes back clean.
We choose plants that suit Cape Cod sun, wind and salt, and that will look right next to the stone.
Step 4
Irrigation
New plantings and new lawn need water to take hold. We install irrigation zoned for the lawn and the beds, so each gets the water it needs without flooding the patio or the foundation.
The best time to run irrigation lines is before the patio and walls go in, which is one more reason to plan the whole yard together.
Step 5
Low-voltage LED lighting
We install low-voltage LED landscape lighting ourselves: lights set into steps and seat walls, uplights on fences, walls and trees, and lights on paths, fire pits and fireplaces. Low voltage is safe around the yard and cheap to run, and LED fixtures last for years.
Lights on steps and walls are easiest to install while the stonework is being built, so we plan the wiring into the design from the start.
Step 6
Clean-up
We clean the beds, the stone and the lawn edges, take the debris with us, and walk the yard with you so you know how the irrigation and the lights work.
What we do
Landscaping services
Landscaping pairs with the hardscape we build: patios, retaining walls, walkways, steps and fireplaces.
Ask any contractor
Four questions worth asking
Whoever you hire, these four answers tell you most of what you need to know:
When should the lighting and irrigation go in?
Before or while the stonework is built. Running wire and water lines under a finished patio or behind a finished wall is much harder.
What kind of lighting is it?
Ask if it is low-voltage LED, who installs it and where the transformer goes. Low-voltage LED is safe around the yard and cheap to run.
Will the plants survive here?
On Cape Cod, sun, wind, salt and sandy soil all matter. Ask why each plant was chosen for your yard.
Can I see it before it is built?
You should. A 3D design shows the beds, the paths and the lights in your own yard before anything is dug.
