Landscape Construction Foxboro, MA

Good landscape construction starts below the surface

Looking for landscape construction in Foxboro, MA? Ten Four Landscape & Construction has handled it for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Norfolk County since 2012. Our Wrentham yard is also about twenty minutes away.

Landscape construction is the work that changes what a property is, not just how it looks this season. A back yard that becomes a patio, an outdoor kitchen and a fire feature. A sloped lot that becomes usable with walls and steps. A wet yard that finally drains. It is also the work where mistakes are most expensive, because they sit underground where nobody sees them. Foxboro homeowners have relied on us as their local landscaper for years. So we bring that same approach to every landscape construction job in town.

We build in the right order: drainage and grading first, then base and structure, then surface and plantings. We build every base from compacted stone at the depth this climate demands, drain every wall, and set every grade to move water away from the house. Because the same crew handles every phase, nobody tears anything up twice and nobody blames another contractor.

Why Foxboro, MA homeowners call Ten Four for Landscape Construction

Foxboro is best known for Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place on Route 1, but the town we work in most days is residential. Think colonials and capes on wooded lots around the historic common, neighborhoods off Mechanic Street, Chestnut Street and North Street, and larger rural parcels near F. Gilbert Hills State Forest. We also maintain commercial properties along the Route 1 and Route 140 corridors, where a clean, safe frontage is part of doing business.

Foxboro sits on some of the rockiest ground in Norfolk County. Granite ledge and boulders are close to the surface across much of the town, which changes how we excavate for patios, walls and drainage. Thin soil over rock also dries out fast in midsummer. The low areas near the Neponset Reservoir, Lake Mirimichi and the Cocasset River stay wet. So grading and drainage are usually part of the conversation on any Foxboro property.
