Design-Build Studio · Tewksbury, MA

A Great Yard Isn't Bought. It Gets Drawn, Then Built.

Skip the guy with a truck and a hunch. You get a real plan on paper — planting, hardscape, water, grading — and the same studio in the ground until it's finished. Let's turn the outside of your place into the part you brag about.

Why Homeowners Hand Us The Whole Job

One studio holds the pencil and the shovel.

No handoffs, no "that wasn't in the drawing." What you approve on paper is what shows up in your yard — and you talk to the same people the whole way.

$14,000–$28,000

Full Backyard Design-Build

Patio, fire feature, retaining walls, drip irrigation and a layered garden — designed, permitted and built in-house.

$35,000–$90,000

A low-maintenance streetscape and entrance planting that keeps a storefront looking sharp through every season.

From $18,000

How Your Yard Gets Built

From First Walk To First Bloom.

Five moves, one crew. You always know where your project stands and what it costs before the next one starts.

Walk The Site

We measure, read the sun and soil, and listen to how you actually want to use the space. $185 consult, credited to your design.

02

Concept & Plans

Planting plan, hardscape layout and irrigation schematic on paper — with a 3D render so you see it before it's built. Design from $3,400.

03

Materials & Bid

You approve stone, plants and a line-item build cost. No mystery numbers — you sign off before anyone digs.

04

We Build It

Grading, hardscape, irrigation, lighting, planting — managed by the studio that drew it. Full builds from $22,000.

05

Grow-In & Care

We walk you through your new plantings and set a care rhythm so year two looks better than year one.

You don't need a bigger yard. You need one that works as hard as you do.
