Dartmouth soil, weather, and freeze thaw cycles are tough on landscapes. Every Doucet install starts with the base, not the finish. Proper grading for drainage away from the home. Topsoil where the native soil cannot support healthy plants. Pavers laid on 6 to 10 inches of compacted crushed stone. Polymeric joint sand that does not wash out. The base is what makes the work last, not the finish.

How much does landscaping cost in Dartmouth?
Most Dartmouth residential landscape projects range from $3,000 for smaller installs (sod, beds, edging) to $30,000+ for full backyard transformations with hardscape, walls, and drainage. We send flat written quotes within 24 hours of the site visit.
When is the best time to landscape in Dartmouth?
May through October is the active landscape season in Dartmouth. Spring (May to mid-June) and fall (September to early October) are the best windows for sod, garden beds, and most installs. Hardscape can run later into the fall if the ground has not frozen.
Do you handle drainage problems?
Yes. Drainage correction, regrading, French drains, and surface water management are part of our excavation services. Most Dartmouth landscape failures are actually drainage failures underneath.
Do you offer landscape design?
Yes. We design and build under one roof. Bring us a vision or a list of needs and we will sketch a plan, then build it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Doucet is fully licensed and insured with WCB coverage. Proof of insurance available on request before any project starts.
