Overview
A yard transformation is a one-shot project that takes a neglected or overgrown property and resets it — clearing brush, removing dead shrubs, building or re-cutting beds, edging, planting, and mulching. Casey and Sons quotes the whole project as a single flat price after a free on-site walkthrough, and the same owner runs the job start to finish. Most transformations take two to five days depending on scope.

Local context
Landscaping in Marblehead — what makes it different
Marblehead is one of the most architecturally dense towns in New England. Old Town's colonial streetscape and The Neck's coastal exposure both demand careful, unhurried landscaping that works around narrow access and period details. Clifton and Marblehead Heights sit slightly inland with more room. Many properties here are maintained across generations — the job is to preserve what's working, not to impose a new look.

Questions
Frequently asked
How long does a yard transformation take?
Two to five working days for most residential properties. Bigger lots or projects with hardscape elements run longer. You'll get a written timeline with the quote.
Do you design the planting plan?
For simple refreshes — replacing dead shrubs, adding foundation plantings, rebuilding a bed — yes. For formal landscape architecture (retaining walls, grading, irrigation systems), we'll refer you to a designer and then install the plan.
Do you work in Marblehead's Old Town?
Yes. Tight historic streets and period-correct landscapes are why careful, unhurried work matters more than horsepower. Access is planned around street parking.
What salt-tolerant plants work for a Marblehead property?
Hydrangeas (especially PeeGee), bayberry, inkberry, rugosa rose, beach plum, and coastal grasses. We flag existing plantings that are quietly failing from salt exposure during the walkthrough.
