Reclaim and elevate your existing property. We transform tired yards, overgrown garden beds, outdated walkways, and underused spaces into fresh, functional landscapes.
Landscape renovation on Martha's Vineyard reclaims and updates tired properties - removing overgrown plantings, reshaping mature shrubs, rebuilding garden beds, refreshing walkways, and rebalancing the planting palette. Infinity Landscaping works zone-by-zone or as a phased multi-year plan, salvaging healthy specimens where possible. Renovation typically runs from late fall through spring for the lowest scheduling pressure.

What this page covers
Overgrown bed remodeling
Over time, shrubs can outgrow their spaces, blocking windows and paths. We carefully remove dead or overgrown plantings, relocate salvageable shrubs, shape mature specimen trees, and install fresh, balanced plantings to restore light and visibility.
Lawn conversions & replacement
If your lawn is thin, crabgrass-heavy, or uneven, we offer complete lawn renovations. We strip poor turf, grade the area, install irrigation systems, amend the soil base, and lay fresh sod or apply hydroseed to build a healthy, thick lawn.
Hardscape repair & integration
We repair or extend existing hardscapes. Whether you need to replace a cracked walkway, extend an existing stone patio, add steps to transition between grades, or rebuild falling timber walls with natural fieldstone, we ensure a seamless match.
Privacy hedge upgrades
If your property has lost its privacy due to dying trees or neighboring construction, we design and plant evergreen screens. We select deer-resistant species that thrive in local conditions, establishing immediate visual barriers.
Landscape Design
Reclaiming older Vineyard properties
Many homes on Martha's Vineyard feature landscapes installed 15 to 30 years ago. Over the decades, fast-growing trees can shade out lawn areas, invasive weeds can overtake garden borders, and old wood retaining walls can rot and sag.
Our renovation process focuses on identifying what is working and what is not. We preserve healthy, mature specimen trees and stonework, while clearing away overgrown or invasive plants. By updating soil health, installing efficient drip irrigation, and introducing modern planting designs, we breathe new life into older yards.
Process
Renovation project phases
01
Evaluation
We review your property to inventory existing plants, evaluate soil conditions, assess drainage, and identify what to keep vs. what to replace.
02
Design Option
We prepare a plan showing proposed plantings, hardscape adjustments, lawn borders, and privacy improvements.
03
Clearing & Prep
We prune mature trees, remove overgrown shrubs, strip weed-heavy beds, and grade the terrain.
04
Soil & Infrastructure
We install irrigation lines, run lighting conduits, and amend beds with fresh compost and topsoil.
05
Plant & Finish
We plant new beds, lay down sod, spread mulch, and clean up the entire work zone.

Frequently asked questions
Early spring (April to May) and early fall (September to October) are the ideal windows. During these cooler months, plants experience less stress, soil moisture is higher, and new lawns and root systems can establish more quickly before summer heat or winter frost.
Yes. Preserving healthy, mature specimen plants-such as boxwoods, hydrangeas, or maples-adds immediate character to a renovated landscape that new plantings cannot replicate. We identify salvageable plants, prune them to restore shape, and transplant them to new locations where appropriate.
We physically clear weed roots and invasive vines (such as bittersweet or poison ivy) from beds. We then apply organic soil cover, grade the area, and install commercial-grade landscape fabric or dense cedar mulch to suppress regrowth and protect new plantings.
Renovation pricing depends entirely on scope. A targeted single-zone refresh (a bed renovation or lawn replacement) is a different scale of project than a multi-zone property makeover that combines hardscape, planting, privacy screening, and irrigation upgrades. Every renovation is quoted per project after a site walk and goals review.
