Retaining walls do more than hold back soil—they shape your landscape, improve drainage, and boost your home’s curb appeal. Whether your yard needs support on a slope or you want to define outdoor living areas, a well-designed retaining wall is a functional investment that can significantly increase your property’s value.

New England winters are nothing short of unpredictable—one day it’s flurries, the next it’s a nor’easter. For commercial property managers, that kind of uncertainty can spell disaster without a solid snow removal plan in place.

If your water bill spikes every summer, your landscape might be to blame—but it doesn’t have to be. Traditional watering methods like hoses and outdated sprinklers waste a surprising amount of water. In fact, the EPA estimates that up to 50% of outdoor water use is lost due to wind, evaporation, and inefficient irrigation. That’s money disappearing into thin air.

At Design Works Landscaping, we believe that great landscapes should be efficient, sustainable, and affordable. With the right irrigation system and smart technology, you can keep your property green and gorgeous—without draining your wallet.
