Landscaping in Kennebunkport, Maine
Coastal Landscaping
for Kennebunkport Homes
Landscaping near the water plays by different rules. Salt air, steady wind, and fast-draining soil are hard on plants and hard on poorly built stonework. In Kennebunkport we plan for those conditions from the start, so gardens, lawns, and patios still look right years from now.
Many Kennebunkport homes are also seasonal. We keep those properties maintained while the owners are away, and we have the yard ready when they arrive.
Garden & Landscape Design
Good garden design starts with the site, not a plant list. For Kennebunkport properties we look at exposure, soil, and how the space will be used, then lay out beds, paths, and plantings that suit the house and hold up near the coast.
Design and planting work includes:
- Bed layout and soil preparation
- Tree, shrub, and perennial installation
- Stone paths and garden steps
- Refreshing overgrown or dated plantings
Planting and bed care are covered on our landscape maintenance page.
Patios & Pool Surrounds
Outdoor living is a big part of a Kennebunkport summer. We build patios, pool surrounds, fire pit areas, and seating walls with a proper base and drainage so they hold up through salt, moisture, and freeze-thaw cycles.
Materials, options, and the build process are on our hardscaping page.
Shoreline Stabilization
Bare slopes and disturbed ground near the water wash out quickly. Hydroseeding with a seed mix chosen for the site gets roots established faster, and on steeper grades we can add erosion control blankets for extra hold.
Learn more about erosion control hydroseeding.
Seasonal Home Care
If you are not in Kennebunkport year-round, you need someone who is. We handle spring openings, fall closings, regular maintenance, and winter plowing and ice management, so the property is looked after while you are away.
Winter options are on our snow and ice removal page.

Kennebunkport FAQ
Do you offer landscape and garden design in Kennebunkport? Yes. We design and install planting beds, garden paths, and hardscape features, and we walk you through the plan before work starts.
Which plants hold up near the ocean? It depends on how exposed the spot is. We choose plants for each location's wind, salt, and soil, and we will recommend options during the site visit.
Can you maintain my property while I am away for the season? Yes. We handle spring openings, ongoing maintenance, fall cleanups, and winter plowing for seasonal homeowners.
Will a patio hold up in a coastal location? It will if it is built right. A proper base, good drainage, and the right materials are what keep a patio stable through Maine winters and coastal moisture.
Do you handle erosion on waterfront lots? Yes. We use hydroseeding, and erosion control blankets where needed, to stabilize slopes and disturbed soil.
