The Overview

Your Yard, Made Usable

Good landscaping isn’t just plants — it’s grading, drainage, and hardscape that hold up through freeze-thaw and heavy rain. Black Apex Development designs and builds the outdoor space: patios and walkways set on a proper base, retaining walls that don’t lean, and plantings that fit the site.

One crew, clear scope, clear price. We handle the dig, the base, the build, and the cleanup — and build it to survive Maine winters.

Good Questions

Landscaping FAQ

Will my patio or wall survive Maine winters?

If it’s built on a proper compacted base at the right depth, yes. Frost heave wrecks hardscape set on shortcuts — base depth is where we don’t compromise.

Do you handle drainage and grading?

Yes — grading water away from the house and managing drainage is part of doing the job right.

Can you do both the build and the plantings?

Yes — hardscape build plus plantings, beds, mulch, and stone, all in one scope.

Do you clear and clean up the property?

We handle excavation, haul-off, and full site cleanup as part of the project.

What areas do you serve?

We’re based in Kennebunk and work throughout Southern Maine — Kennebunkport, Wells, Biddeford, Saco, Arundel, and Portland. Not sure if you’re in range? Give us a call.
