How Piscataqua Landscaping turns Red Tape situations into beautiful landscapes.
At Piscataqua Landscaping & Tree Service, we know that turning your dream landscape into a reality takes more than creativity and hard work. In some cases, it takes coordinating with city and state officials, securing permits, working around environmental regulations, and even scheduling police details to get the job done safely and legally.
Case in point: A recent delivery of 85 Arborvitaes to a home in Portsmouth, NH.
Sounds simple? Not when the delivery requires a semi-truck navigating narrow, busy Portsmouth streets and a police detail to coordinate traffic around the unloading. It’s just one example of the behind-the-scenes logistics that our team handles every day to help clients bring their vision to life without the headaches.
But large-scale planting projects are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to working with local and state agencies. For property owners along the coast or near sensitive environmental areas, the process often starts long before the first shovel hits the ground.
Take Pam and Jack Blalock’s property in Portsmouth, NH, home to New Hampshire’s very first private living shoreline.
“Over the last 15 to 70 years, our shoreline had experienced significant erosion,” shared Jack Blalock. “We knew we needed to do something.”
The Blalocks began by consulting with Altus Engineering and started down the complex permitting path that included navigating city, state, and wetland boards, as well as the Army Corps of Engineers.
“It took about a year just to get the permits,” Jack explained. “And then you need a partner to execute the vision.”
The project wasn’t about a quick fix. It was about protecting their shoreline, enhancing their property, and making thoughtful, environmentally responsible improvements that would last for generations. That meant working with native plant species, stabilizing structures, connecting drainage systems, and protecting against seawater intrusion, all while preserving the property’s natural beauty and ecological integrity.
That’s where Piscataqua Landscaping & Tree Service came in.
“What was so great about working with Piscataqua was the quality of their work, their professionalism, and their responsiveness,” said Pam Blalock. “But more importantly, they were a true partner and when you’re navigating something none of us had done before, having a partner you trust makes all the difference.”
For Piscataqua Landscaping, this project, like many others, wasn’t just about plants and patios. It was about understanding regulations, earning permits, coordinating with multiple stakeholders, and finding solutions when challenges popped up along the way.
“It was a multi-year process, and we were all learning together,” Pam shared. “And through it all, the team at Piscataqua Landscaping was by our side.”
From police details to shoreline protection to complex environmental projects, Piscataqua Landscaping & Tree Service has the tools, the relationships, and the expertise to navigate the process, so you can focus on enjoying your property, not stressing over red tape.
