New Sod & Lawn Installations
Let Our Experts Help You Get A Lawn You Want to Live On.
Action installs new lawns from spring through mid-fall. The soil we use on our lawn installation projects is tested on a regular basis. We test pH levels, phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen. Using a well-balanced soil will give you a healthy green lawn. We provide two alternatives for installation: seeding or sodding.
Seeding – Seeding is when our lawn installation team comes and plants grass seed on your lawn to make fresh grass grow.
Sodding – Sodding is when our lawn installation team comes and lays down grass that was pre-grown, uprooted, and ready to be replanted. They will lay the pre-grown grass on your lawn and give you a beautiful lawn almost instantly.
The lawn installation method is determined by the customer’s needs, wants, and expectations. There are many types of seed and sod blends available for any type of growing condition.
If you are struggling with your existing lawn or interested in a new lawn, call for your free consultation. We proudly provide sod and lawn installation to property owners throughout the Cape Elizabeth, Falmouth, and Portland, ME areas.
Grading & Soil Preparation
Before beginning a project, it is usually necessary to prepare the site. It could be a gravel road you need to have graded, a hole you need leveled, or a new bed you want installed, but you would like to do the planting or finish work. Action has the tools and heavy equipment to prepare the site for you. The key to any successful project is proper grading and soil preparation.
Yard Renovations
Yard renovation is a specialty service at Action. If your landscape was installed 30 years ago when the house was built or has not been maintained properly and has turned into a jungle, that’s where we come in. We will give your landscape the facelift it needs and create a landscape that brings beauty, curb appeal, and functionality back into your yard.
Drainage System Installation & Solutions
Stop dealing with water problems in your home and yard by installing an inground drainage system. This is a permanent, long-term solution to your wet yard and water problems. Call for a free consultation and we will decide which system best suits your needs.
Foundation Plantings
Adding plant beds along the foundation of a home not only creates privacy but also adds curb appeal to a property. Picking the right types of plants is key when planting that close to your home. A lot of companies out there do not have the knowledge to choose the right plant species. This leaves the customer with a bed that is overgrown and out of control within only a few years after the install. Let our plant specialist pick plants that will suit the area and not grow out of control.
Tree, Flower & Shrub Plantings
Not all trees and plants are created equal. Each requires specific light, soil, and moisture conditions to survive and remain healthy. Action Property Services Inc. wants to assist you in picking the plants and trees that best suit your conditions and needs. We want your plants to thrive, not just survive!
Flower Bed Installation
Would you like to add a beautiful plant bed to your yard? Action will cut the new bed, removing any grass, debris, and barren soil. We will haul in fresh, rich soil that will make your plant bed thrive for years to come. The soil we use on our projects is tested on a regular basis. We test the pH levels, phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen. Using a well-balanced, nutritious soil for your plantings will give you a beautiful garden for years to come. All plants and flowers are handpicked to best suit the area and your style.
Flower Bed Borders & Edging
Edging is an effective way to reduce yard maintenance. Edging separates grass, mulch, and stone, reducing required edging. We offer a few options when it comes to edging and borders, including concrete paver edging, granite cobbles, plastic edging, and wood timbers. Edging is a cost-effective way to add curb appeal to your property.
Shrub Removal
Do you have old overgrown shrubs that are destroying your siding, blocking your view, or creating an eyesore? Action will come in, remove the old shrubs and handpick plants that are more suitable for the area.
Design Services
Whether it’s a lawn installation, patio installation, stone walkway, or intricate landscape design, landscapes benefit from the same attention to detail that the interior of your home does.

Fencing
Fences are functional, but they can add an aesthetic quality to the yard as well. Properly installed fencing can provide privacy, security, or keep children and pets safe. We primarily install wood and vinyl fencing. If you are considering adding fencing to your property, Action Property Services Inc. is ready to help.
Yard Drainage Systems
Yard drainage systems for residential properties are essential components designed to manage and direct the flow of water away from the home and its surrounding areas. These systems can include gutters, downspouts, French drains, and surface drains, all of which work together to prevent water accumulation and potential damage. Proper drainage is crucial for several reasons. First, it helps protect the foundation of the home by preventing water from seeping into the basement or crawl space, which can lead to structural issues and mold growth. Second, it reduces the risk of soil erosion around the property, maintaining the integrity of the landscape and preventing costly repairs. Additionally, effective drainage systems can improve the overall health and safety of the property by minimizing standing water, which can attract pests and create slippery conditions. By ensuring that water is efficiently directed away from the home, drainage systems play a vital role in maintaining the longevity and value of a residential property.
