Coastal Landscaping in Harwich, MA From Conservation Specialists
We're an Eastham-based landscaping team offering coastal landscaping across Harwich and surrounding towns, including properties on Nantucket Sound, Pleasant Bay, and the harbors. For over 40 years, we've planned coastal projects around native plants and local conservation commission review.
Shoreline Landscaping Built for Harwich
Coastal properties often sit close to protected resource areas, so the work needs careful planning. Here’s what we handle:
• Dune and bank restoration with native planting
• Coastal bank protection and erosion control
• Coastal drift fencing
• Invasive species removal and management
• Wetland mitigation
• Water recycling, rain gardens, cisterns, and drainage solutions
• Conservation-compliant native plant selection and installation
• Permitting assistance with conservation commissions
Three Steps to a Better Waterfront
1
A Conversation First
First, we talk with you about your property, what concerns you, and what you’d like to change. That conversation guides the site visit that follows.
2
Design, Permitting & Estimate
Then we design a custom landscape around your site and its regulations, with permitting help if the conservation commission is involved. You’ll get an itemized estimate before anything is scheduled.
3
Install, Then Maintain
Finally, our crews complete the installation. If needed, we can also maintain your landscape over time with pruning, garden care, and irrigation repairs.

Coastal Landscapes We've Created
Coastal Landscaping FAQ
What can I do to keep my coastal bank from eroding?
We protect coastal banks with native plantings, drainage solutions, and other methods suited to your site, planned around what the conservation commission will approve.
Do you maintain coastal landscapes once they're installed?
Yes. If you’d like, we can continue caring for your landscape after installation.
What affects the cost of waterfront landscaping?
Cost depends on your site and the scope of the project. After a site visit and design, we provide an itemized estimate.
Is conservation commission approval needed for waterfront landscaping in Harwich?
Often, yes. Work near coastal banks, dunes, or wetlands usually requires conservation commission review, and we help with the permitting process.
Why hire one contractor to design and maintain my waterfront landscape?
The team that designed your landscape already knows its plantings and site conditions, which makes ongoing care simpler.
