Full Outdoor Builds That Hold Up
Residential and commercial landscape construction services throughout Ocean & Monmouth Counties

If you own property in Brick, Colts Neck, Toms River or the surrounding areas and want to redesign the yard, improve drainage, or add usable outdoor space, landscape construction handles the full build from layout to completion. This work addresses site grading, drainage issues tied to coastal water tables, and structural installations that deal with salt air and freeze-thaw cycles.


Capstone Landscape Design constructs every project directly, from site preparation through final walkthrough. You work with an owner-operated team that brings 40 years of combined experience building residential yards, HOA common areas in Brick and across Ocean and Monmouth County. Projects include full yard transformations, new parking island layouts, stormwater management improvements, and accessible pathways that meet local zoning and ADA requirements where applicable.


Estimates and financing options are available for larger construction projects.

How the site is prepared and built

Once the layout is approved, your property is excavated to proper depth, graded to direct water away from structures, and compacted to prevent settling. Base layers are installed using crushed stone and drainage fabric where needed. Materials are selected based on what your site requires, whether that means permeable surfaces over sandy soil or reinforced sections near high-traffic zones.


After construction is complete, you will notice improved water flow during storms, level surfaces that stay stable through winter, and outdoor areas you can use year-round without worrying about erosion or mud. The company is BBB accredited, fully licensed, insured, and bonded for both residential homes and commercial properties.


This service does not include routine lawn care or seasonal planting. It focuses on permanent structures, grading work, and installations designed to last through New Jersey weather without shifting or deteriorating. The next section addresses common questions about timing, materials, and what happens during the build process.

Questions people ask before they book

Homeowners and property managers often want to know how long the work takes, what permits are required, and whether drainage improvements are included in the build. Below are answers to the most common questions about landscape construction projects.

What does landscape construction include?
It includes site preparation, grading, drainage installation, base compaction, and the build-out of hardscape features or outdoor structures. You receive a fully prepared outdoor space ready for use.
How long does a full yard construction project take?

Most residential projects take one to three weeks depending on site size, weather, and the scope of grading or drainage work. Commercial builds may take longer based on permitting, material availability and zoning reviews. 

Why is proper grading important in this area?

Some of our service area sits close to the water table and receives heavy rain during storms. Without proper grading, water pools near foundations, erodes landscaping, and undermines pavers or retaining walls.

What permits are needed for landscape construction?

Permits depend on the scope of work and local zoning rules. Capstone Landscape Design can help identify what is required and coordinate inspections when necessary.

When is the best time to start construction?
Spring and fall offer the most predictable weather. Winter work is possible but may be delayed by frozen ground or heavy rain, while summer heat can affect material curing times.
