In a town like Lincoln, MA, outdoor spaces aren't just "yards"-they're extensions of the home, the architecture, and the surrounding landscape. At Krefta Landscaping, Inc., our process begins with landscape design because the best results come from planning first: how you live, how you move through the space, where you want sun or shade, and what you want the view to feel like from inside your home.

Whether you're starting with a blank canvas or improving an existing property, we help you create an outdoor environment that feels intentional and cohesive-then we build it with the craftsmanship and coordination your project deserves.

Landscape Design That Starts with How You Live

Landscape design is the entry point for everything we do. Before materials are chosen or grades are adjusted, we focus on what matters most: how you'll use your outdoor space day to day. That might mean a welcoming front landscape that improves curb appeal and seasonal color, or a backyard master plan that accounts for privacy, entertaining, pets, play, and long-term maintenance.

Our design process considers the details that make outdoor spaces perform beautifully over time, including:

• Site layout and circulation (paths, steps, transitions, and "destination" spaces)
• Drainage and grading awareness to keep water moving away from structures and gathering areas
• Planting design that balances structure, texture, and seasonal interest
• Outdoor lighting and focal points that enhance evening use and safety
• Material palette planning so stone, pavers, and landscape elements complement the home

The result is a design that doesn't feel pieced together-it feels like it belongs.

A Design-Build Approach That Keeps Your Project On Track

Outdoor projects often fall apart when the design and construction teams aren't aligned. Our design-build approach streamlines the entire experience by keeping planning, scheduling, and implementation connected from start to finish. That means fewer handoffs, better communication, and decisions that are made with real-world build conditions in mind.

Design-build is especially valuable when your project includes multiple components-like outdoor living spaces, pool planning, planting, drainage, and hardscaping-because it helps avoid surprises and ensures the finished result matches the original vision. We coordinate each phase so the work flows logically, the site stays organized, and every element supports the whole.

Outdoor Living Planning That Feels Natural, Not Forced

Outdoor living works best when it's planned as part of the landscape-not dropped into it. We design outdoor spaces that feel comfortable, functional, and integrated with the property's scale and surroundings. Depending on your goals, your plan might include:

• A dining terrace positioned for evening shade
• A lounging space with a fire feature to extend the season
• A tucked-away conversation area with planting for privacy
• A multi-zone layout for entertaining, relaxing, and play

We also think through the "invisible" elements that make outdoor living enjoyable: where furniture will go, how people will move through the space, where storage belongs, and how the landscape will look in every season-not just the day the project is finished.

Inground Fiberglass Pools & Spas Integrated into the Design

If you're considering an inground pool or spa, we help you plan it as a centerpiece of the full outdoor environment-not a standalone feature. For many homeowners, fiberglass pools and spas are an appealing option because they can offer a refined look with efficient installation and a smooth, comfortable interior finish.

The key is proper planning. Pool placement affects everything: views from the home, traffic patterns, safety, sun exposure, privacy, and how your outdoor living areas connect. We design the pool zone alongside surrounding features like patios, planting, steps, and grading so the finished space feels resort-like, cohesive, and purposeful.

And because pools change how a yard functions, we plan for the supporting needs too-like access routes, drainage strategy, and the best layout for deck space, seating, and landscape transitions.

Hardscaping As a Supporting Element of Great Design

Hardscaping should never compete with the landscape-it should support it. We incorporate hardscape elements as part of the overall design so they enhance usability while maintaining a natural, balanced look. That may include:

• Patios and terraces that anchor outdoor living zones
• Walkways that guide movement and improve accessibility
• Steps and grade transitions that feel safe and intentional
• Retaining solutions that manage slopes while adding structure

When hardscaping is integrated into a landscape plan, it looks better, functions better, and lasts longer-because it's built for the conditions of the property and the way you actually use the space.
