Walk the Property
We meet you at home, look at where water collects, where the sun lands and how equipment can reach the backyard, then talk through what you want.
Your Trusted Project Partner
Tewksbury sits between Lowell, Andover, Wilmington and Billerica, with the Merrimack River along its northern edge, the Concord River on the southwest line and the Shawsheen running through the south end. So the ground can change from one street to the next, with some yards close to river lowland and others well above it. Mountainscapes plans pools, patios and lawns for Tewksbury lots by checking where water goes before we dig. If all you need is a new pool liner or a heaved patio put right, we are happy to take that on too.
If your Tewksbury backyard has an older pool, a small patio and a tired lawn, we look at all three together and tell you what to keep, what to fix and what to replace. That might mean a pool renovation, a new patio or simply a fresh lawn.
A new inground pool laid out around your house, your sewer or septic lines and the sunniest part of the yard.
Faded or leaking vinyl swapped for a new liner measured to your pool, with the floor patched first.
A planned update for an older pool, with coping, steps, deck and equipment handled in the right order.
Spring startups and fall winterizing so freezing nights do not crack plumbing lines or damage equipment.
Drain lines and dry wells for low corners of the yard that hold water after storms or snowmelt.
Clearing out overgrown beds and tired shrubs, then replanting and reshaping the yard so it is easy to keep up.
Paver, bluestone or concrete patios sized for the way you cook, eat and relax outside.
Fresh topsoil, careful grading and new sod or seed for patchy, worn-out Tewksbury lawns.
It only takes 30 seconds.
Hear what our incredible customers have to say!
Chris installed a beautiful gunite pool for me. My kids love it and they cherish the day it gets opened. Chris did an amazing job designing the layout. He is a true artisan. I’ve been in business for 37 years and I’ve been around countless contractors. I highly recommend Mountainscapes.
I had the need for an emergency skimmer replacement during a pool deck replacement. Mountainscapes was the only company that got back to me and came right out and fixed things up to keep my project on schedule. Chris and his team were top notch. Highly recommended.
I have engaged Chris and his team on a number of landscape projects over the years. The pricing is good, the end result gorgeous, and Chris is always a pleasure to work with.
My experience having a pool installed was a great one! The owner Chris, worked with me to get exactly what I wanted. The team was friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend them!
Working with Chris and his team from MountainScapes was truly a pleasure building our pool this past year. Chris was a huge help working with the town on permitting and approvals (our town is notoriously difficult) and in helping us make our design dreams a reality.
...Today, one year post-completion, we are thrilled with the quality of MountainScapes' work. Chris, in particular, is something of a pool artist. It was truly worth it, but as homeowners you need to be prepared to be patient!
If you are considering an inground pool or any type of hardscape to your property, I would not recommend anyone other than Mountainscapes! Responsiveness, quality, professionalism!
Why Mountainscapes
Christopher Underwood has been designing and building pools and outdoor spaces since 2012, backed by a degree in Landscape Architecture and over 20 years of hands-on construction experience.

Drainage & Site Work
Can you replace a pool liner in Tewksbury without any other work?
Yes. A liner replacement on its own is a job we are glad to do. We measure the pool, drain it, repair the floor and fit a new custom liner, then refill. Our guide on signs it is time for a new liner can help you decide whether yours is ready.
What does a pool and landscape project cost in Tewksbury?
It depends on the pool type, its size, how much digging the lot needs and how much patio and planting goes around it. Most of our full pool and landscape projects range from $50,000 to $150,000. A liner swap, a drainage fix or a patio repair costs far less.
What permits does a pool need in Tewksbury?
An inground pool needs a building permit from the Town of Tewksbury, and the pool area has to meet the barrier and fence rules in the Massachusetts building code. Work close to the Shawsheen, the Merrimack or other wetlands may also need review by the Tewksbury Conservation Commission under the state Wetlands Protection Act. Pool wiring is done by a licensed electrician.
Part of my Tewksbury yard floods every spring. Can you help?
Usually, yes. We find where the water comes from, then fix it with regrading, a French drain, a dry well or a mix of these. See our drainage installation page, or read the signs your yard needs drainage to see if your yard fits the pattern.
When should I book a pool opening or closing?
Book a spring opening before the warm weather arrives, and a fall closing once you are done swimming but before hard freezes. Spring and fall are our busiest seasons, so an early call helps. Our pool opening and closing service covers covers, water lines and freeze protection.
Which towns near Tewksbury do you work in?
Tewksbury borders Billerica, Chelmsford, Andover and Wilmington, and Dracut sits just across the Merrimack. We also work in North Andover and Burlington. Get in touch to check your street.
From initial planning and design to engineering, permitting, and construction, we manage every stage of your pool and landscape project with precision and care.
