Landscape Contractor in Salem, NH

Salem is one of the more active communities in southern NH, and the properties here run the full range — newer developments that need grading done right the first time, established neighborhoods where drainage problems have compounded for years, and everything in between. Fieldstone Landscape & Masonry has been working on all of them since 1999.

We handle site grading, sod installation, landscape design, and full landscape construction for Salem homeowners — in-house, with one crew, from start to finish. No subs on the main work, no gaps in communication between trades.

Why Salem Homeowners Work with Fieldstone

30+ Years of NH Site Experience

Rudy has been reading and working New England land since 1999. He knows what southern NH soil does in wet years, how Salem's terrain tends to drain, and where grading problems typically originate on properties in this area.

Grade First, Build Second

A finished landscape on a badly graded site is a drainage problem waiting to surface. We correct the grade and address water before anything goes in the ground. That is the difference between a landscape that holds up and one that needs to be redone in three years.

One Crew, No Handoffs

Grading, drainage, planting, and sod all stay with the same team. No scheduling gaps between subcontractors, no miscommunication between trades, no one else to call when something is not right.

Written Estimate, Backed Work

You get a clear written estimate before any work starts. Everything is spelled out — scope, materials, cost. The finished job is backed by our guarantee. If a problem comes back, so do we.

Landscape Contractor FAQs for Salem, NH

Do you serve Salem for landscaping and grading work?

Yes. Salem is one of the communities we work in regularly. We serve Rockingham County and into northern MA — including Haverhill, Amesbury, and surrounding towns.

My yard has serious pooling and drainage issues. Can you fix it?

That is one of the most common calls we get. We start by finding where the water is entering and where it needs to go, then design a solution around that — regrading, French drains, catch basins, dry wells, or a combination. We fix the cause, not just the surface.

What does sod installation cost in Salem, NH?

It depends on the square footage, the site prep work required, and soil conditions. We give you a firm written estimate after seeing the property. We do not quote blindly over the phone.

Can you handle the full project — design, grading, and installation?

Yes. That is how most of our Salem jobs run. We evaluate the site, develop the design, handle grading and drainage, and install plantings and sod under one scope with one crew. You deal with one company, not three.

How far out are you booking for Salem projects?

Scheduling varies by season. Spring and early summer book fast. Contact us to get on the schedule — the sooner we walk the site, the better we can plan your project start date.
