Our Story

Multiple generations of Cape Cod craftsmanship, one family’s commitment.

The Coleman Family

A Legacy of Craftsmanship Since 1976

Founded in June 1976, our company began as a landscape maintenance business before naturally expanding into landscape construction and site development for new homes. Those decades of experience laid the foundation for what has become our true passion—designing and building exceptional outdoor living spaces.

As Cape Cod grew, so did the demand for thoughtfully designed backyards that extend the enjoyment of a home beyond its walls. We recognized that opportunity early and evolved alongside our community, making custom swimming pools the centerpiece of beautifully integrated outdoor environments.

Our background in site development, grading, drainage, and landscape construction gives us a unique advantage. We understand how every element of an outdoor project works together—from the ground beneath your feet to the finishing details that bring the space to life. Every project begins with a blank canvas, and our goal is to transform it into a place where family and friends can gather, relax, and create memories for years to come.

Whether you’re considering a fiberglass or vinyl liner pool, we offer solutions to fit a variety of lifestyles, budgets, and property types. Many of our projects extend well beyond the pool itself, incorporating custom patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, pergolas, retaining walls, natural stonework, and comprehensive stormwater management systems that protect both your investment and your property.

With more than 50 years of experience, we know how to anticipate challenges before they become problems, ensuring a smoother construction process and a finished project built to last. As a trusted local, family-owned company, we are fully licensed and insured, and we take great pride in delivering exceptional craftsmanship, honest communication, and personalized service from concept through completion.

To ensure your backyard is ready to enjoy when warm weather arrives, we often begin construction during the off-season. Starting early allows us to build your project without rushing the process, so you can spend more of the summer enjoying your new outdoor space instead of waiting for it to be finished.

Our commitment is simple: deliver outstanding quality, exceed expectations, and create an outdoor living environment your family will enjoy for generations.
