When Your Property Starts Showing the Strain of Neglect

You see the overgrown beds choking out your plantings, the cracked walkway that catches every heel, the uneven drainage that leaves muddy puddles for days. What started small now feels like it’s everywhere.

The longer these problems sit, the harder they become to reverse. Curb appeal drops. Repair costs climb. And the outdoor space that should work for you starts to feel like a liability you can’t escape.

Landscaping Services Built on Real Expertise and Quality Work

D.S. Landscaping & Construction delivers comprehensive outdoor transformations that bring your vision to life. Since our start, we have specialized in everything from custom landscape design and lawn care to drainage correction, retaining walls, patios, and stone veneer finishes.

Every project reflects decades of hands-on knowledge in grading, irrigation, soil preparation, and hardscape construction. Whether you need mulch installation, tree services, or complete property redesign, our crew approaches each job with precision and attention to the details that ensure lasting results.

We are a family-owned business that shows up on time, communicates clearly, and stands behind every installation. Your property deserves craftsmanship that endures, and we are here to make that happen.

Professional Landscaping Solutions That Deliver Function and Beauty

Landscaping & Design

We craft custom outdoor spaces with strategic plantings, grading, and layout that make sense for how you actually use your yard.

Lawn Care & Maintenance

Mowing, edging, aeration, and seasonal treatments keep your lawn thick, green, and weed-free without the weekend hassle.

Mulch Installation

Fresh hardwood mulch at the right depth controls weeds, locks in moisture, and gives beds a clean finished look.

Tree Services

What Your Property Gains from Professional Care

Lasting Outdoor Beauty

A property that stands out with vibrant plantings, clean edges, and surfaces that hold their shape season after season.

Fewer Weekend Projects

Less time spent repairing walkways or clearing debris means more time enjoying your yard instead of maintaining it.

Protected Property Investment

Quality materials and expert installation protect your home from erosion, water damage, and premature wear on hardscape surfaces.

Why Homeowners Trust Our Work Year After Year

They handled our drainage mess after two spring storms flooded the back corner. Dug a channel, reset the grade, and put down new stone. No water issues since, and they cleaned up every tool before they left.

Carlos Mendoza

Our front steps were sinking on one side for years. They pulled everything, redid the base with compacted stone, and rebuilt the bluestone treads. Solid now, looks better than when the house was built.
