Groundhog North, a landscape construction company serving the New Hampshire Lakes Region, has expanded its hardscaping services to address increasing demand for sophisticated outdoor living spaces among residential and commercial property owners. The expansion reflects a regional trend toward year-round outdoor entertainment areas and functional landscape design.
The New Hampton-based company has enhanced its hardscaping capabilities to include advanced patio installations, permeable paver systems, and comprehensive outdoor living designs that extend indoor comfort to exterior spaces. These services complement the company's existing site work and materials center operations, creating a complete solution for property transformation projects.
"The Lakes Region has seen tremendous growth in demand for outdoor living spaces that function as true extensions of the home," said Todd Bahan, owner of Groundhog North. "Property owners are investing in hardscaping features that not only enhance aesthetic appeal but also address practical concerns like drainage, erosion control, and sustainable land management. Our expanded services allow us to deliver these complex projects from initial design through final installation."
As a Groundhog North hardscaping contractor, the company brings over three decades of landscape construction experience to each project. The firm specializes in creating custom outdoor environments that range from intimate residential retreats to expansive commercial installations. Recent projects have incorporated permeable paver technology, which manages stormwater runoff while expanding usable outdoor space.
The company's design-build approach integrates multiple disciplines to ensure cohesive project execution. This methodology combines landscape architecture, civil engineering principles, and construction expertise to deliver projects that meet both aesthetic goals and functional requirements. The process begins with detailed site analysis and design consultation, progresses through material selection and procurement, and concludes with professional installation and site finishing.
Groundhog North maintains a comprehensive materials center that stocks bulk landscaping and construction supplies, enabling efficient project completion and reducing delays associated with material availability. This vertical integration allows the company to control quality and scheduling throughout the construction process.
"We're seeing particular interest in multi-season outdoor spaces that incorporate both hardscaping and softscaping elements," added Bahan. "Homeowners want patios with integrated lighting, built-in seating, and connections to garden areas. Commercial clients are requesting permeable surfaces that meet environmental regulations while providing attractive gathering spaces. Our expanded capabilities position us to deliver these sophisticated projects."
The expansion comes as the Lakes Region experiences continued residential growth and commercial development. Properties around Meredith and Laconia have seen increased investment in outdoor amenities as owners recognize the value these improvements add to their properties.
Groundhog North operates from its New Hampton facility, which serves as both an operational hub and materials distribution center. The company provides comprehensive site work services including grading, drainage solutions, and new construction preparation, alongside its hardscaping and landscaping offerings. This full-service approach enables property owners to work with a single contractor from initial site preparation through final landscape installation.
