Welcome to Property Tour #1, part of our ongoing landscaping video tours here in Kennebunk. In this episode, we’ll walk you through a coastal yard that balances curb appeal with smart, low-maintenance design. You’ll see how we sized the lawn for real use, layered salt-tolerant shrubs and perennials for four-season interest, and tied it all together with clean edging and durable stone.

We’ll also highlight a discreet rain-garden overflow, efficient drip and spray zones set to water at dawn, and a few small details, like wind-wise plant placement, that make daily life easier. If you’re collecting ideas for your next Property Tour inspiration board, this is a great place to start.

“So this property is interesting. We’ve worked here for a long time. I used to mow this lawn for the parents for a previous company back in the 90s. And since the daughter has become – has the property. This property is unique, where the lady is very hands-on. They’ll actually get out and actually clean the pond themselves. They’re way into their landscaping. We just redid the back of it last year. She wanted, like, a shade garden. We’re having a – we had a lot of problems because there was such a tree canopy. We couldn’t grow anything. So we had a company come in and selectively just prune tree limbs to get more sun. So we’re able to get that bed back there with Japanese maples, astilbes, grasses, hostas, and some other things. It’s just a really private property. It’s, not what you see as much where the ocean is only 300 yards away, which is hard to believe. It’s one of those properties that, it’s very private and rare around here. And, we’re just doing acorn cleanup at the moment and making it look beautiful. But it is a year of acorn. So the guys are trying to get the acorns at bay. And, the guys just mowed it. And, yeah, I’d like this property to get away sometimes.”
