New Construction Landscaping Martha’s Vineyard
Simplify your new build's final phase. We coordinate grading, soil preparation, irrigation, hardscaping, and planting to transition your new property from a construction zone to a finished home.
New construction landscaping on Martha's Vineyard takes a bare lot to a finished property. Infinity Landscaping coordinates grading, soil restoration, irrigation, lawn establishment, planting, and hardscape with the builder, electrician, and paving contractors so utilities are run, base depths are right, and the landscape is installed in the correct sequence: typically completed before the first summer occupancy.

What this page covers
Master trade coordination
A new build requires careful scheduling. We coordinate our work directly with your builder, plumber, electrician, and paving contractors to ensure irrigation lines, utility conduits, and hardscape bases are installed in the correct sequence.
Heavy grading & drainage
Correct grading prevents water from pooling near your foundation. We sculpt the terrain, manage runoff paths, and install French drains, catch basins, and drywells to manage rainwater efficiently in sandy or clay soils.
Soil amendment & restoration
Construction equipment compacts the soil and strips the organic top layer. We rip compacted areas to restore aeration, amend sandy soil with premium compost and organic matter, and lay down nutrient-rich topsoil to prepare beds for plantings and lawns.
Planting & final finish
We install privacy hedges, foundation plantings, lawn areas (sod or hydroseed), low-voltage lighting systems, and stone walkways, executing the approved design plan to give your new home a polished, finished presentation.

Managing the landscape on a new build
Building a home on Martha's Vineyard involves complex logistics, including ferry scheduling for heavy machinery and material delivery limits during peak summer weeks. Landscaping should be integrated into the construction schedule early, rather than treated as a rushed finish.
Our team focuses on protecting the property's natural features during construction, resolving soil compaction caused by heavy excavators, and coordinating utility trenches before driveways or patios are paved. By taking a proactive approach, we prevent water runoff issues, protect mature trees, and build a healthy soil base that ensures new plantings and lawns take root successfully.

Frequently asked questions
Ideally, we should be brought in during the framing phase, or even earlier during site planning. Early coordination allows us to design grading and drainage paths alongside the builder, pre-install utility conduits under driveways and patios, and select planting materials that coordinate with the home's final layout.
