Hiring a South Portland Landscape Contractor

Professional South Portland landscaping companies create and maintain beautiful yards that complement homes and blend into native settings. From soil, grasses and plants to decks, walkways and patios, landscape contractors are experts in creating functional and visually pleasing outdoor living spaces.

Landscaping contractors execute lawn, garden and hardscaping plans, either working from architect designs or providing their own design services. They maintain plantings, manage weeds and pests, and perform ongoing maintenance. Licensed South Portland landscapers understand local weather patterns and climate conditions, choosing plants and materials suited to the area. They also handle construction permits, hire subcontractors when needed, and ensure designs comply with local building codes.
