Immediately there is need of the landscape gar- 
dener’s knowledge of how best to proceed to save 
valuable trees, native growth, turf; to salvage all good 
topsoil loam from house and driveway areas for re- 
use in lawns and plantings; to put suitable excavated 
subsoil as a base in the stripped driveway, and to 
place surplus material where most needed for grad- 
ing. Double handling wastes money. The trained 
landscape man saves it. 
Following well-considered plans and working in 
close cooperation with owner, architect and builder, 
work on the grounds closely follows building of the 
house. 
From that point Landscape Construction pro- 
ceeds. 
It includes the building of roads and walks, of 
outdoor terraces and walls, of lawns, play areas, and 
gardens. 
It accomplishes the general regrading of all dis- 
turbed portions of the lot to produce maximum use 
and attractiveness. 
It includes the necessary provision and placing of 
fertile loam, peat and fertilizers in proper depths and 
locations for future lawns and plantings. 
It installs, where needed, adequate systems for 
roof water and sewage disposal, and drainage for 
driveways and lawn areas. 
It builds special features such as pools, rock gar- 
dens, and other elements of outdoor living rooms. 
Then as the house nears completion, the land- 
scape crews proceed with the desired plantings, the 
final surfacing of driveways, and the smooth grading 
and seeding of the lawns. 
Such is landscape construction, coordinated, sys- 
tematic, effective. 
You can safely rely on the combination of the 
H. V. Lawrence Landscape Organization and their 
Cape Cod Nurseries for certain satisfaction.
