Marshall Landscaping Project Examples

Marshall Landscaping LLC is a residential hardscaping, paving, drainage and landscaping contractor headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware.

Many of these projects combine several trades on one property. Hardscaping, paving, masonry, concrete, excavation, grading, drainage and landscaping are all performed in-house, which is why a single project below can include a driveway, its drainage and the planting around it.

Marshall Landscaping builds the patio, the walkways and the landscaping as one project for homeowners in Wilmington and across New Castle County. Its hardscaping and landscaping divisions are both in-house, so walkway routes and planting beds are planned alongside the patio and built in sequence.

The patio-and-walkway project with new landscape beds above is one example. Marshall Landscaping can finish the whole property, including walkways, planting, decorative stone, masonry, grading and restoration of disturbed areas.

Marshall Landscaping's dedicated asphalt division paves on a regular daily schedule, and its driveway projects often include masonry, grading and drainage alongside the paving. Completed examples include:

A new asphalt parking area between a roadway and a detached garage. The project was relatively small, but crews worked within a constrained site while maintaining safe access and accounting for the surrounding in-town infrastructure. Access, equipment maneuverability and adjacent structures shaped the plan as much as the project's size.

A new asphalt driveway with masonry paver borders and an attached interlocking paver walkway. The asphalt provides the vehicle surface, while the masonry defines the driveway edges and creates a transition to the home. Because Marshall Landscaping performs both paving and masonry work, the driveway and the walkway were planned as parts of one project.

Two long asphalt driveway approaches connected by a large decorative paver parking area and an elevated masonry entrance, on a house set well back from the road. The long, relatively flat approach made drainage a central concern. Marshall Landscaping graded the paved surfaces so water would not collect on the driveway or move toward the house, and integrated the asphalt with the paver area, masonry entrance, retaining elements and surrounding landscape.

Reviews mention attention to pavement slope during a driveway replacement so water drains properly, and homeowners hiring Marshall Landscaping for French drains, yard regrading and a driveway extension together.

Marshall Landscaping replaces a driveway and the walkway to the front door as one project. One review describes an old driveway dug up and replaced with a concrete driveway lined with pavers, along with a new paver walkway with built-in lighted pavers. Walkways can be built in pavers, natural stone or concrete. Asphalt construction is described on the Marshall Landscaping asphalt driveway contractor page, and asphalt, concrete and paver driveways are compared on Marshall Landscaping's Delaware driveway contractor page.

Marshall Landscaping handles grading and drainage together for homeowners across New Castle County, using its own crews and, on more involved projects, 3D mapping and laser-guided grading equipment. Drainage work homeowners describe in Marshall Landscaping's reviews includes:

• Backyards regraded after heavy rain damaged the yard
• A French drain installed with a buried downspout line, followed by a new planting bed with a stone border
• A channel drain installed in a single day
• French drains, yard regrading and a driveway extension completed by the same company
• Grading and seeding at project completion

In the French drain project, the drain, the downspout line and the finished planting bed were all handled by one company. The long-driveway project above was also a drainage project, since its grading was set to keep water off the pavement and away from the house. French drains, catch basins, swales and laser-guided grading are described on the Marshall Landscaping yard drainage and grading contractor page.

Landscaping often finishes a hardscape, paving or drainage project, and it is also hired on its own. Landscaping work homeowners describe in reviews includes:

• Planting beds cleaned up and mulch changed to stone
• A tree trimmed
• Soil and seed added to bare spots in the lawn
• Garden stones refreshed
• New planting beds with stone borders

Combined projects bring these together with other trades. The patio-and-walkway project with new landscape beds and the French drain with a new bed and stone border each paired construction with planting. Design, planting, mulch, sod and cleanups are covered on the Marshall Landscaping landscape design and installation contractor page.

Marshall Landscaping builds the retaining wall, the drainage behind it and the landscaping afterward as one project. Marshall Landscaping's wall designs include drainage to prevent water from accumulating behind the wall, and each wall starts with a prepared structural base. Marshall Landscaping's landscaping division then installs planting beds, shrubs and trees and restores the disturbed areas around the wall.

On sloped properties, a retaining wall may be what makes a patio possible, with steps and walkways connecting the levels. Wall block, natural stone and cap options are covered on the Marshall Landscaping retaining wall contractor page.

Marshall Landscaping projects typically begin with a free on-site estimate to understand what the homeowner wanted, how the property functions and which site conditions should shape the plan. Projects where layout, materials, elevations or several improvements must work together can be planned with 3D renderings, and construction is then sequenced to the project, as described in how Marshall Landscaping plans and delivers residential projects.
