Landscape Estimating & Project Management
Helping great designs become buildable plans.
We partner with architects, builders, and homeowners to provide complimentary, accurate cost estimates and expert coordination for landscape and hardscape projects across Southern Maine. Whether you need pricing support for a bid or boots on the ground to manage timelines and trades, we help keep projects moving on time and in budget.

Estimating for Architects & Builders
Our in-house Construction Coordinator, Marcy, supports professionals bidding on residential or mixed-use projects by delivering clear, informed budget ranges for landscape and hardscape work. We contribute to RFPs, RFQs, and preliminary design discussions—giving you stronger numbers, faster approvals, and a better shot at winning the job. We offer estimates at no charge, with the understanding that if the job moves forward we’ll be first in line to partner with you for the install
Landscape & Hardscape Project Management
When Terrapin is tapped for install, we manage the full scope of landscape and hardscape work—from coordinating permits to scheduling subcontractors like electricians, plumbers, carpenters, pool pros, and excavators, and more. We can act as your subcontractor or lead certain aspects of the job through our own extended team. Either way, we aim to simplify communication and keep timelines on track.

“Mike and his team are true artisans in landscape construction. We’ve collaborated on a number of projects recently and it’s refreshing to work with a contractor that seems to always be right on the same page.” David, Landscape Architect
Design with Budget Clarity from Day One
Homeowners who collaborate with us on custom landscape design also receive a complimentary estimate following the initial site visit and consultation. This early budgeting step helps clarify priorities and guides a deeper discussion around value engineering—so your final design proposal is tailored to your property, goals, and investment.
Starting Every Project with Value
After decades of working alongside Maine’s top architects and builders, we’ve learned that the best outcomes come from clear expectations, steady communication, and thorough planning. If that’s how you like to work too, we’re ready when you are.
