Services
Landscape Design
Our landscape design service creates customized outdoor environments through concept plans, master plans, and planting schemes. We begin with client consultations to understand functional needs and aesthetic preferences, then develop detailed designs incorporating hardscapes, plantings, and water features. Our approach combines technical expertise with artistic vision to maximize property potential while considering environmental factors.
Masonry Work
Specializing in premium masonry construction, we build durable patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens using natural stone and pavers. Our skilled craftsmen ensure precise installation of granite steps, cobblestone curbing, and decorative accents that enhance property aesthetics while providing functional outdoor living spaces that withstand New England weather conditions.
Drainage Correction
We resolve water accumulation issues through comprehensive drainage solutions including French drains, swales, and grading adjustments. Our experts assess site conditions to implement effective systems that prevent erosion, protect foundations, and transform problematic areas into usable outdoor spaces while maintaining natural water flow patterns.
Specialty Gardens
Our specialty gardens service creates distinctive outdoor environments including Japanese gardens, English cottage gardens, and native plant landscapes. We carefully select plant combinations and design elements that reflect specific cultural styles or ecological requirements, ensuring year-round visual interest and appropriate plant performance in Connecticut's climate.
Pool Environments
We design and construct integrated pool environments that seamlessly blend with surrounding landscapes. Our approach includes custom stone decking, safety features, and complementary plantings that enhance pool areas while maintaining functional outdoor living spaces with cohesive design elements matching the property's architectural style.

Report
We have worked with Earth Landscape over the last 4 years on several staged projects that have transformed our yard into a truly magnificent place to live, incorporating a brook in our back yard. Marks eye to detail and design clearly shows in his work as well as his ability to incorporate various design elements into a functional yet beautiful environment that melds with the surrounding neighborhood as well as the open spaces that surround our property.
It is rare to find a company that provides high level skilled design and has the skill and resources to make the vision come to reality, but our yard is a living testimony. It has been a pleasure working with Mark over the years and I would highly recommend him and Earth Landscape for projects of any size or complexity.
