Landscaping Ideas for a Cape Cod Home

Before tackling your Cape Cod landscaping project you will need to create an overall plan of action and factor in the costs involved with your landscaping ideas along with any budget constraints. The area you wish to landscape may determine exactly what you can do with it. For example, what types of plantings will thrive in this location, the grade of the area, the soil type and the amount of sunlight the area gets.

Getting to the root of lawn grub problems

You water, fertilize and give your lawn all the TLC it needs, yet come late-summer you still find unsightly brown patches scattered across the turf. If the turf in these spots can easily be pulled away from the ground, you most likely have a grub problem.

Retaining Wall Construction and Design

Before you build or design your retaining wall you need to have a good look at the site, the soil conditions, any water drainage issues and what the final grade should be. These factors will be critical in the design of your retaining wall system.

Retaining walls on Cape Cod are commonly built with railroad ties, pressure treated wood, interlocking concrete blocks, poured concrete, dry stacked stones, stone or brick and mortar and cobblestones. Please fill out the form below to contact our retaining wall construction and design specialist:

Landscaping Can Provide Big Return on Investment

According to a Clemson University study, landscaping around your home can provide 100 percent or more return on investment. The Clemson study reports that the initial cost for landscaping is about 10 percent of the home’s value, while a quality landscaped yard will provide a 13 percent to 17 percent increase in resale value. However, a homeowner’s ability to ensure this kind of return on their investment depends heavily on selecting the right landscape contractor and using quality materials like interlocking concrete pavers or segmental retaining walls.
