Landscape Contractor in Plaistow, NH

A grading problem that got ignored one season too long, a lawn that never fully established after the house was built, or a yard that still does not have a real design behind it. Those are the kinds of calls we get from Plaistow homeowners. Fieldstone Landscape & Masonry has been solving them since 1999 — with in-house grading, sod installation, landscape design, and full construction across Plaistow and the surrounding Rockingham County towns.

One crew. One scope. One person responsible for how it turns out. No subs on the main work, no gaps in accountability between trades.

Landscape Services We Provide in Plaistow

Landscape Grading & Leveling

• Site grading to redirect water away from the foundation and off the property correctly
• Land leveling as prep for sod, plantings, outdoor structures, and hardscape
• Swales, slope shaping, and erosion control on problem grades
• Finish grading at project close to tie new work into the surrounding yard cleanly

Sod Installation

• Soil prep and grade correction before a single roll of sod goes down
• Sod sourced to perform in NH soil and seasonal conditions
• Tight seam placement and clean transitions to beds, hardscape, and edges
• Post-install care guidance so the lawn roots properly and does not fail in the first dry stretch

Landscape Design

• Site evaluation covering grade, drainage, sun, existing conditions, and how you use the space
• Planting plans developed in coordination with the grading and hardscape — not independent of it
• Tree, shrub, and ornamental selections suited to NH climate and your property's specific conditions
• Design focused on how the yard performs and looks five years from now, not just on install day

Full Landscape Construction

• Light excavation and drainage system installation
• Retaining walls and hardscape integrated into the landscape plan from the beginning

Why Plaistow Homeowners Work with Fieldstone

30+ Years of NH Site Work — Including Plaistow

Rudy has been working on Plaistow and Rockingham County properties since 1999. He understands the drainage conditions that come with this area's terrain, what the soil typically requires, and how to sequence a project correctly so each phase supports the next instead of working against it.

The Grade Has to Come First

A lawn or planting installation on a poorly graded lot looks fine until it rains. We correct drainage and site grade before anything goes in the ground. That is what determines whether the finished landscape holds up or has to be ripped out and redone two years later.

One Crew, No Gaps

Grading, drainage, design installation, and sod all stay with the same in-house team. No scheduling gaps between subcontractors, no finger-pointing between trades. One crew handles the whole scope, and one person is accountable for the result.

Written Estimate, Backed Work

You get a clear written estimate before work starts — scope, materials, and cost spelled out completely. Work is backed by our guarantee. If a problem comes back, we come back.

Landscape Contractor FAQs for Plaistow, NH

Do you serve Plaistow for landscaping and grading work?

Yes. Plaistow is one of the communities we work in regularly. We serve all of Rockingham County — Newton, Salem, Pelham, Windham, and surrounding towns — as well as northern MA.

My yard never drained right after the house was built. Is that fixable?

Almost always yes. Builder rough grades are frequently inadequate for long-term drainage. We assess the site, determine where water is entering and where it needs to go, and build a grading and drainage solution that addresses the actual cause. Dry wells, French drains, regrading, catch basins — the right system depends on what the site requires.

Can you do a full landscape installation on a new construction lot in Plaistow?

Yes. New construction landscaping is a significant part of our work. We handle finish grading, drainage correction, full landscape design, planting installation, and sod — all under one scope with one crew. You do not need to coordinate between a grading company, a landscape designer, and a sod installer separately.

What is the difference between hydroseeding and sod?

Hydroseeding applies a slurry of seed, mulch, and fertilizer that germinates and establishes over several weeks. Sod is pre-grown turf that delivers an established lawn almost immediately. Sod costs more upfront but eliminates the establishment window where the lawn is vulnerable. We help you choose based on your timeline, budget, and site conditions.

Do you work in MA towns near Plaistow?

Yes. We work in northern MA regularly — Haverhill, Amesbury, and the surrounding area. The border is not a limitation for our crew.
