Landscaping in Cape Elizabeth: What We Know

Cape Elizabeth is home for Garden Guys. We are based here, and we have worked on properties along Shore Road, Ocean House Road, and the neighborhoods near Fort Williams Park and Portland Head Light for years. From Kettle Cove and Two Lights to Crescent Beach, the town's coastline is beautiful and unforgiving: constant wind, salt spray, thin soil over ledge, and long exposure to winter storms coming off the Atlantic.

Inland, Cape Elizabeth changes character. The farmland along Route 77 and the wooded lots off Spurwink Avenue and around Great Pond have deeper soil, more shade, and a different set of challenges, mostly drainage and deer pressure. We design and maintain landscapes for both sides of town, choosing tough coastal species where the wind hits and a fuller palette where it doesn't.

Because Cape Elizabeth properties tend to be larger, our work here often includes multi-season projects: a new patio and stone wall one year, plantings and lighting the next, with a standing maintenance program in between. We know the town's shoreland zoning considerations and plan projects near the water with them in mind.

Seasonal notes for Cape Elizabeth

Wind is the story in Cape Elizabeth. We wrap or screen vulnerable evergreens before winter along the shore, and spring cleanups often include salt-damage pruning and reseeding of windburned lawn edges. Fall cleanups in the inland neighborhoods are heavy with oak leaves. Our snow routes start close to home, so Cape properties are among the first cleared after a storm.
