AUGER PROPERTY MAINTENANCE SERVICES

Auger Property Maintenance Services has worked out of Hampstead, New Hampshire since 1990, and the range is wide by design: paver patios and retaining walls one season, fertilization and irrigation the next, plowing through the winter. The hardscape half is the more specialized one. Houzz lists the company as a Belgard Authorized Contractor and shows five projects across outdoor living spaces, outdoor kitchens, driveways and walkways, fire features and landscape installations, with pergolas, gazebos, water features, masonry, fencing and landscape lighting on the service list. The maintenance half runs to hydroseeding, lawn care, pressure washing, tree removal and snow removal — the same crew back through the year rather than a one-off install. The company says it covers 29 towns across New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts, among them West Newbury, Haverhill, Groveland and Merrimac. The Better Business Bureau grades it A+ and has had it accredited since 2004. A fit for a homeowner planning a paver patio, fire pit or outdoor kitchen who also wants someone to keep the lawn and the driveway through the year. Ask to see a finished patio nearby, and pin down who does the design work and what the maintenance contract covers before you sign.
