Specialty Plantings

Sofkin Landscaping specializes in the plantings that most landscapers won't attempt — and Nikola Popov's agronomy training is what makes them succeed on Cape Cod's challenging coastal soils.

Our orchard installations are among the most requested services on the Cape. We design and install full residential orchards — apple, pear, peach, and plum — selecting rootstock varieties proven to perform in sandy, salt-affected soils, and planning proper spacing, cross-pollination companions, and windbreak plantings to protect tender fruit trees from ocean storms. We guide you through year one establishment and offer ongoing pruning and spray programs to keep your orchard productive for decades.

Rose gardens are another specialty. We select varieties with proven resistance to Cape Cod's high humidity and salt air — including rugosa roses, climbing roses for fences and pergolas, shrub roses for hedging, and heritage varieties prized for their fragrance and disease resistance. We prepare beds with premium amendments, plant with proper drainage, and maintain an ongoing pruning and disease management calendar.

For families wanting fresh produce, we design and build organic vegetable gardens complete with raised bed construction, deep soil building with premium compost, irrigation, and seasonal planting plans based on the Cape's growing season. Native plantings — beach plum, bayberry, native hydrangeas, seaside goldenrod — round out our offering, creating low-maintenance gardens that support local pollinators and feel genuinely at home on the Cape.
