Every project starts with a free on-site consultation where we walk your property, discuss your goals, and outline realistic options. You get professional guidance before committing a single dollar.
From excavation and masonry to planting and irrigation, we handle every phase of your outdoor project in-house. One company means one vision, one timeline, and one point of responsibility.
Our own crew handles your project from the first visit to the final walkthrough, with one point of contact throughout.
Discuss your project, review the proposed scope and plan the next steps with our team.
We visit your property to understand the space firsthand: measuring dimensions, noting sun and shade patterns, evaluating soil conditions, assessing drainage, and identifying existing features worth preserving. More importantly, we listen to how you use your outdoor space and what you envision.
Bring your inspiration photos, Pinterest boards, and wish lists. We'll discuss what's realistic for your property, climate, and budget. This 45-minute consultation is completely free and gives us everything we need to prepare a design proposal.
Based on our property assessment and your goals, we prepare a detailed design proposal outlining the scope of the design work, deliverables, timeline, and design fee. For comprehensive master plans, we outline what's included: site analysis, concept development, 3D renderings, planting plans, and construction specifications.
Design fees vary based on project complexity and property size. We're transparent about costs upfront so there are no surprises. For clients who proceed with installation through Contrast Landscape, a portion of the design fee is credited toward the construction contract.
Our design team conducts a thorough site analysis documenting topography, drainage patterns, soil composition, existing vegetation, utility locations, property boundaries, and microclimate conditions. This technical groundwork ensures every design decision is based on actual site data.
We develop two to three initial concepts showing different approaches to achieving your goals. Each concept explores different layouts, material palettes, and planting strategies so you can see the range of possibilities before we refine the direction you prefer.
Based on your feedback on the initial concepts, we refine the chosen direction into a detailed design with specific plant species, exact material selections, hardscape dimensions, and lighting layouts. The design is rendered in 3D so you can explore the finished landscape from every angle.
This is where we fine-tune details: adjusting plant placement, trying different paver colors, exploring alternative tree species, and ensuring every element works together. We include up to two rounds of revisions to make sure the design perfectly reflects your vision.
Your completed design package includes scaled site plans, detailed planting plans with species lists and quantities, hardscape specifications with material selections, lighting layouts, irrigation zone plans, and 3D renderings showing the finished landscape from key viewpoints.
For phased projects, we include a recommended implementation sequence showing which areas to build first for maximum impact, along with estimated costs for each phase. The design package is yours to keep and can be implemented all at once or across multiple seasons.
When you're ready to build, our design team works directly with our installation crews to ensure every element is executed exactly as designed. We provide on-site oversight during critical phases: tree placement, hardscape layout, and planting installation, to verify the real-world result matches the design.
Having the same company design and install eliminates the communication gaps that occur when separate firms handle each phase. Our crews understand the design intent, and our designers understand construction realities, resulting in landscapes that match the vision precisely.
From the first consultation to the final walkthrough, our landscape design team brings your vision to life with precision, creativity, and care. Whether you're reimagining your backyard retreat or designing a welcoming commercial property, we're ready to create something extraordinary together.
Working with Contrast Landscaping was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. My experience with Henrique and the entire Contrast team was seamless; they were professional, communicative, and truly cared about bringing my vision to life. They allowed me to be flexible and thoughtful as we crafted the vision together. After our new construction in Cohasset, the property needed full restoration and grading, and Contrast transformed it beautifully. They handled every detail with precision and pride, turning a raw construction site into a finished, cohesive landscape that perfectly complements our home. The quality of their work, timeliness, and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. Henrique guided the process with expertise and genuine care, making everything easy and enjoyable. I’m beyond pleased with the final result and would highly recommend Contrast Landscaping to anyone looking for exceptional craftsmanship and a team that truly stands behind their work.
Contrast Landscape is absolutely outstanding! Henrique and his team are professional, creative, and pay attention to every detail. They took my ideas, added their expert touch, and delivered a result that far exceeded my expectations. The workmanship is top quality, and everything was done on time. My yard looks incredible—truly transformed! I highly recommend Henrique and Contrast Landscape to anyone who wants their outdoor space done right.
We have had a great experience with Contrast Landscape for our spring clean-up and privacy tree planting. The team was prompt, friendly and efficient. They did a fantastic job clearing our yard and the results look great. Highly recommend working with Henrique, Rebecca and team! We will be using their services in the future.

Landscape design costs vary based on property size, project complexity, and the scope of features you'd like to include. Smaller residential projects may start in the low thousands, while comprehensive designs with hardscaping, lighting, and irrigation can reach higher ranges. We provide transparent estimates during your consultation so there are never surprises. Your investment always matches clearly defined deliverables.
Design timelines depend on project complexity. A straightforward residential plan might take two to three weeks from consultation to final design, while larger multi-phase projects may require four to six weeks. Installation timelines vary separately based on the scope of work. We establish clear milestones during planning so you always know what's happening and when to expect each phase to be complete.
Yes, we're a full-service landscape company that handles everything from initial concept design through complete installation. Having the same team manage both phases ensures your design vision translates perfectly into the finished landscape. There's no miscommunication between separate designers and installers. Our crew understands every detail of your plan because they helped create it.
You don't need to prepare anything specific. That's what we're here for. However, it helps if you've gathered inspiration photos, know your approximate budget range, and have considered how you want to use your outdoor space. If you have an existing survey or site plan, bring that along. Our designers will handle the rest, including measurements, soil assessment, and sun exposure analysis during the visit.
Absolutely. Many of our projects involve redesigning around existing features like mature trees, patios, retaining walls, or swimming pools. Our designers evaluate what's worth preserving and what might benefit from updating, then create a cohesive plan that integrates existing elements with new improvements. We'll always discuss options before removing or modifying anything already on your property.
New England homes pair beautifully with designs that complement the region's architectural heritage and natural surroundings. Colonial and Cape Cod-style homes often look best with structured garden beds, stone pathways, and classic foundation plantings. More contemporary homes can embrace naturalistic meadow-style designs or clean modern lines. We tailor every design to both your home's character and your personal preferences.
Plant selection is one of the most critical aspects of landscape design in our region. We choose species rated for USDA Zone 6b that thrive in Southeastern Massachusetts's specific conditions: sandy coastal soils, clay-heavy inland areas, salt spray exposure, and freeze-thaw cycles. Our designs incorporate a mix of evergreens for year-round structure, native perennials for low maintenance, and seasonal color plants for visual interest throughout every season.
