When is the best time to begin a landscape design project?

JM Mento Landscaping works with clients year-round designing and renovating residential and commercial landscapes across the South Shore, Cape Cod, and Greater Boston Area. While there is no wrong time to begin thinking about your landscape remodel, the design process leading up to ground-breaking can take time. Installs take place until the ground freezes during the winter months, with most landscape design installations in Massachusetts taking place between March and December. For new lawns and plant jobs, the best time to schedule your project is during the autumn months (early September to early October).

What is the design process?

Our design process begins with an initial site meeting, followed by your design proposal. From here, you will receive an official design presentation before the project breaks ground. You can read more about our design process here.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover through our online payment portal, as well as checks.

What permits will I need?

What plant design/grading services do you offer?

We offer plant design, grading, loam/seeding, sod, and hydroseed. For further information, visit the JM Mento services page.

How long will my project take?

The length of the job all depends entirely on the design, material, and most of all, the job site conditions. Typically, a 300 square foot paver patio can be installed in one day, while worksites with limited accessibility can take longer. When a machine can not fit into a yard, and work needs to be done entirely by hand, it will take longer. Certain natural stone products take longer to install than segmental walls and pavers.

Are Permits needed for my work?

Building permits are typically required only if we are building a wall taller than 4ft high. Each town has its restrictions, and we always adhere to town bylaws.

How much will my landscape design cost?

A landscape design plan will cost anywhere from $700 - $1500. We credit back this cost if you hire JM Mento to do the installation.
