Consultation with Millwood Designers

If it feels like a good fit, we then explore stylistic options, plant materials, maintenance requirements, budget, and project timeline. The deliverable of this initial phase is a full-color plan accompanied by photo references, design sketches, sample materials, and an breakdown of project costs.

Resident & Showcase Property Lawncare
Our experienced lawn technicians will maintain weekly mowing of the property, assuring that the height depth is changed to accommodate seasonal temperatures and to maintain a healthy lawn. Our technicians are also trained to determine whether weekly mowing is needed in the hot summer months. Millwood's landscapers utilize advanced lawn equipment, and grass trimmers are used to reach places that cannot be accessed by our equipment. They will also trim around trees and walkways and blow off driveways.
Fertilzer Program, Weed Control, Mulching
Millwood has a multi-phase lawn care program that starts in the spring and ends in the fall, applying lime, fertilizer and weed control, for optimal growth during the seasons. Each step is specifically tailored to the needs of your property at that time of year. We cover crabgrass, weed and grub control, and finish off the program by getting your property ready for winter.
Mulching, edging, and weeding will insure that your property is welcoming to visitors, employees, and residents. Mulch contains weeds, retains moisture, prevents soil erosion, and adds that extra polish to a garden. Edging, which is maintained with a string trimmer at each weekly visit, redefines the beds and contains the mulch. Weeding is an optional service that we offer with weekly lawn maintenance. For the commercial property, upkeep is a must, so is cleanup and debris removal. We also offer irrigation, sod installation, hyrdoseeding, traditonal seeding and over-seeding to sustain that thick, lush lawn, most desire.

Landscape Lighting
A well-designed combination of functional path lighting and accent-lighting to illuminate landscape features can turn your everyday patio area into a magical evening resort. Millwood Landscape has years of experience installing low-voltage landscape lighting. We can install underground electric powered systems with optional timers, or work with your electrician to wire lighting to your specifications.
Regular-voltage lighting is great for lamp-posts or for flood lights to illuminate in front of a garage, but when it comes to creating ambiance in an outdoor living space, nothing achieves that effect as well as low-voltage lighting
Outdoor lighting provides:
Safety: Illumination of steps and walkways helps prevent injury from falling.
Security: No thief likes to break-in to a well illuminated property.
Aesthetics: Landscape lighting highlights the beauty of landscape features.
Ambiance: Landscape lighting can be designed to create different effects.
Every property has the potential to amaze and delight, and we love nothing more than to realize that vision for our clients. Gardens that inspire, patios to entertain, welcoming entryways and rugged hardscapes – these are the properties that we've been creating and maintaining for 30 years throughout the seacoast of Maine and New Hampshire.
