Landscape Design & Build
Cape Cod's sandy soils, salt spray, and seasonal ownership patterns demand a different approach to landscape design. Truescape creates full-property plans that work year-round — from lawn installation and drainage to coastal plantings that establish quickly and hold up to wind and weather without constant maintenance.

Common questions
Landscape Design & Build on Cape Cod — answered.
What plants survive Cape Cod salt air and sandy soil?
We design with proven coastal-hardy species — native grasses, bayberry, hydrangea, juniper, and salt-tolerant perennials — chosen for your specific exposure so they establish fast and need less upkeep.
Can you maintain a landscape for a seasonal or second home?
Yes. We design low-maintenance, drainage-first landscapes and can coordinate irrigation and seasonal care so the property stays healthy whether you're there or back in Boston.
Do you handle drainage and grading too?
Always — grading and drainage come first in every plan. Getting water moving correctly is what prevents waterlogged lawns and failed plantings in sandy Cape soils.
