Eastern Sky

Eastern Sky built a sea wall for me. They were under a weather-sensitive circumstance and worked long, hard hours to complete the job. If I had a similar job, I would re-hire them. The wall looks great! Outdoors can become an extension of your home. From outdoor kitchens to paver patios, Eastern Sky Landscaping can build your perfect solution. Need a new driveway, or want to make memories around an outdoor fireplace or fire pit? Give us a call! Drainage, excavation, and grading may not sound exciting, but they make a difference to properties with issues like standing water or uneven ground.

Enjoy the tranquil and relaxing sounds and movement of flowing water in your landscape by adding fountains, waterfalls, streams, fish ponds and pond-less waterfalls. Eastern Sky Landscaping professionals can transform a landscape into something special, from a water fountain to a calming water pond or a breathtaking waterfall. The gentle sound of moving water is relaxing; in fact, water features lower blood pressure and reduce stress levels. The beauty of water features is aesthetically pleasing in outdoor spaces, and ponds are mini-ecosystems that provide a wildlife habitat in your own backyard.

Add beauty to your hillside with a retaining wall built with segmental retaining wall blocks. Eastern Sky Landscaping also installs proper drainage behind the wall, which is critical for wall longevity.

Dramatically increase the curb appeal of your home with a patterned driveway designed with traditional pavers or permeable pavers that come in a variety of styles, colors and patterns and offer many advantages over traditional materials, such as asphalt or concrete. Pavers are man-made stones designed to fit or inter-lock together. Because they come in many sizes, shapes and patterns, you can achieve any look for your paving application. Pavers are extra strong and durable, resistant to cracking or chipping.

Drainage problems can cause extensive damage and create major headaches for a homeowner, including storm water runoff, erosion, standing water, and wet basements. There are many solutions to these problems, ranging from a simple downspout extension or dry creek beds to an extensive French drain system or channel drain. Eastern Sky Landscaping understands efficient drainage techniques and are experienced in lot and foundation drainage systems. We also provide existing drainage troubleshooting and erosion control, using sound engineering principals for water management, irrigation systems, standing water, basement leakage, erosion control and correction options.

Walkways are another place where form and function come together. They often direct people towards points of interest, such as a unique shrub or plant group, a sitting area or the entrance to your home. The most common use of your walkways will dictate the type of walk you need. They can be constructed from the same materials used for your patio or deck to tie your hardscape items together, or you can choose a natural stone for a more eclectic look.

Pergolas are beautiful accents, providing a place to enjoy your outdoor garden spaces, and they create a beautiful entryway to the front door or backyard garden. Pergolas enhance patios and create some shade, adding beauty and structure to your landscape garden and providing a nice place to enjoy your morning coffee, outdoor dining and entertaining.

Building a patio is an easy way to add outdoor space to your home and improve your home's value. It's been reported that 85% of the cost of building can be recouped during resale. A well-designed patio provides an entertaining option, getting people out of the house and into the sun. A nice patio is an extension of your home, so it should be just as stylish and make you feel great about being in your backyard. Eastern Sky Landscaping designs and builds patios with traditional masonry products such as flagstone; however, the most popular material for creating hardscaping elements and features such as patios, is pavers.
