Building your dream landscape vision for your home isn’t as easy as it may look on social media. Those 60-second clips skip over the hours and hours of work it takes to complete a landscaping project, and they don’t often get into the nitty-gritty details like calculating out materials or accounting for proper water drainage. What looks like it should be a weekend project actually takes professional equipment, and an expertise in how our local soil and weather affect landscaping. At Summit Scapes Construction, our landscape services in Manlius can take your inspiration and turn it into something that is built to last.
Whether you’re starting fresh with a bare yard or want to update your current landscape setup, we’ll help you with the design layouts and choosing the ideal plants and materials that will work best in our New York climate and create the backyard space of your dreams.
If you want to grow a garden, but don’t know where to start, our team can help you with our plant installation services. With Summit, that means we would handle every part of the installation, including grading the land so that it drains properly, adding fresh, treated soil, and finally, the plants. We can also build/install stone features (like walkways or retaining walls) to give the space structure.
Mulch helps protect your soil and keeps your plants healthy. A fresh layer of mulch will help hold in moisture during the hot New York summer days and help block weeds from overtaking your garden. It also shields your plant’s roots during the seasonal changes.
Trees and shrubs are a great way to give character to your landscape setup, but caring for them can be tedious, and you could accidentally kill the plant if you’re not sure what you’re doing.
Our landscapers can design drainage solutions that will move the water safely away from your home and yard so they don’t suffer long-term damage.
Caretaking a Central New York landscape takes more than just expertise; it also takes experience. At Summit Scapes Construction, we live and work here too, so we understand what your property faces during each season. The way we work with you is what sets Summit apart because we don’t offer out-of-the-box services; we listen to your ideas and goals for your outdoor space, and we respect your budget. When you work with us, you’re getting a commitment to excellence.
