Landscape Contractor in Newton, NH

A yard that drains where it should, a lawn that actually takes root, a design that fits the property instead of fighting it. That is what landscape work should look like when it is done correctly. Fieldstone Landscape & Masonry has been delivering it for Newton, NH homeowners since 1999.

We handle grading, sod installation, landscape design, and full landscape construction — all with the same in-house crew. No subcontracting the main work. One team on your Newton property from first grade to last sod roll.

We are based right here in Newton and know Rockingham County terrain the way you only can after 30 years of working it. Service also covers Plaistow, Kingston, Hampstead, Atkinson, and surrounding northern MA communities.

Landscape Contractor FAQs

What is the difference between landscape construction and regular landscaping?

Landscape construction is the structural side — grading, drainage, walls, patios, and excavation work. Regular landscaping covers the soft elements: plants, trees, sod, and lawn care. We handle installation of both. Ongoing maintenance is the one service we do not offer.

When is the best time to install sod in Newton, NH?

Late spring and early fall are ideal. Sod installed in peak summer heat needs significantly more water to establish, and late fall sod does not have time to root before the ground freezes. We tell you honestly whether your timing works.

How do you handle drainage problems in the yard?

We diagnose where the water is coming from and where it needs to go. Solutions range from simple regrading to French drains, dry wells, catch basins, and full drainage systems depending on what the site actually requires.

Do I need to do anything to prepare before the crew arrives?

Clear access to the work area and know where your utilities are marked. We coordinate the rest. We can walk you through the Dig Safe notification process if needed.

How long does a landscaping project take in Newton?

A grading and sod project can wrap in a day or two. A full yard build with drainage, design, and planting can run several weeks depending on scope. We give you a realistic schedule before work begins — not an optimistic one.
