The name behind
the work

I started Forty Five Scapes with a simple rule: build every property like it was our own place on the bay.

Our crew handles the design, excavation, stonework and planting ourselves, so the people who plan your project are the people who build it.

What owners say

Forty-Five Scapes did a fantastic job replacing the broken concrete retaining wall at the end of our driveway with beautiful armour stone. They were punctual, worked long, hard days and finished the job extremely quickly.

Laurin A.Armour stone retaining wall

I started with such a mess, mud and weeds and poor grading. I met with Mark and he put my mind at ease. He took my wants and needs and budget and created a vision. The crew was always on time and respectful and the end product was amazing.

Patrick G.Grading & full landscape

They showed up when they said. They did a fantastic job on our stairs, truly a work of art. The retaining wall and stone stairs add value to the property. Would definitely recommend.
