Build Outdoor Spaces That Last

Custom landscape design and installation services in New Hampshire

Your property in Sutton or a surrounding area may have steep slopes, wet areas, or sections that receive uneven sunlight throughout the day. These conditions affect what plants will survive, where hardscapes should be placed, and how water moves across your yard. Willett's Forest and Property Maintenance plans and installs landscapes that account for these factors, so your outdoor spaces function well and hold up over time without constant replanting or repair.

Landscape installation begins with a site assessment and a conversation about how you use your property. Whether you need defined planting beds, retaining walls, pathways, or drainage improvements, the design is tailored to your goals and the specific conditions in Sutton or a surrounding area. Materials are selected for durability and compatibility with New Hampshire weather, and every element is installed with attention to grading, compaction, and long-term stability.

What Happens During Design and Installation

Design work in Sutton or a surrounding area starts with measuring your property, identifying drainage patterns, and noting where sunlight and shade fall during different times of day. You discuss what you want the space to do, whether that means creating privacy, adding usable outdoor areas, or solving erosion problems. A plan is drawn up that shows plant locations, hardscape features, and any grading or structural work required.

Once installation begins, you will see grading adjustments that direct water away from structures, compacted base layers under walkways and patios, and plants placed according to their mature size and light requirements. Edges are defined with stone or metal, and mulch or groundcover is added to reduce weed growth and retain moisture. The result is a cohesive layout that looks intentional and holds its shape through seasonal changes.

Installation does not include ongoing maintenance or seasonal replanting, but the design can accommodate future additions or changes. Many clients return for follow-up work once they see how the initial installation performs through a full year of weather.

We Can Help You Plan With Confidence

Homeowners in Sutton or a surrounding area often ask about plant selection, project timelines, and how installations hold up in local conditions. These answers address the practical considerations that come up before work begins.

What factors affect plant selection?
Plant selection depends on sunlight exposure, soil drainage, winter hardiness, and how much maintenance you want to do. Willett's Forest and Property Maintenance chooses species that match your site conditions and long-term goals.
How long does a typical landscape installation take?

Most residential projects take between one to four days, depending on the scope of grading, hardscape work, and planting. Larger or more complex installations may require additional time.

What materials are used for hardscapes?
Hardscape materials include natural stone, pavers, gravel, and treated timber, depending on the application. All materials are selected for durability and compatibility with freeze-thaw cycles in Sutton.
When is the best time to install a landscape?
Spring and fall are ideal for planting because temperatures are moderate and rainfall is more consistent. Hardscape work can be done anytime the ground is not frozen.
What should I do after installation is complete?
Water newly installed plants regularly for the first few weeks, and avoid walking on fresh mulch or compacted base layers. You will receive specific care instructions based on what was installed.
