Landscaping Services

Everything a Long Island property needs across a full season — mowing, cleanups, pruning, planting, hardscaping and design — from one crew, on one schedule, at one clear price. Doing it since 1985.

Weekly & Bi-Weekly

Lawn Care & Mowing

The service that sets the tone for everything else on the property. Cut at the right height, edged clean, and blown off before we pull away.

We mow on a fixed day each week so your lawn never gets away from you, and we adjust deck height through the season — higher in July heat to shade the roots, lower in the shoulder seasons. Blades stay sharp, so the grass is cut instead of torn, which is the difference between a lawn that looks green and one that browns at the tips two days later.

  • Mowing with commercial-grade equipment, height adjusted by season
  • Crisp edging along walkways, driveways and curbs
  • String trimming around beds, fences, posts and foundations
  • Full blow-down of walks, drives and patios
  • Clippings mulched back in or bagged, your call
  • Weekly, bi-weekly or one-time cuts available

Spring & Fall Cleanups

Two visits a year that reset the property and make every other service look better.

Spring cleanup clears the winter debris, cuts back perennials and ornamental grasses, re-defines bed edges that the frost pushed out, and gets the lawn ready for its first cut. Fall cleanup takes the leaves off the turf before they mat down and smother it, cuts back what needs cutting back, and leaves the property clean going into winter.

  • Leaf removal from lawns, beds, and around foundations
  • Perennials and ornamental grasses cut back
  • Bed edges re-cut and beds cleared of debris
  • Gutters and hard surfaces blown clear
  • Debris hauled off site — no piles left at the curb
  • One-time or included in a seasonal maintenance plan

Trees & Shrubs

Pruning, Trimming & Shrub Care

Trimming season is real, and timing matters as much as technique.

Hedges get shorn to a clean line, foundation plantings get brought back into scale before they swallow the windows, and ornamentals get thinned so light and air reach the interior of the plant. We prune with the plant's cycle in mind — cutting a spring bloomer at the wrong time costs you next year's flowers, and shearing an evergreen too late in the season leaves brown that will not fill in before frost.

  • Hedge shearing to a straight, consistent line
  • Ornamental shrub pruning for shape and health
  • Foundation plantings cut back off siding and windows
  • Small tree and branch trimming for clearance
  • Deadwood and storm damage removal
  • All clippings collected and hauled away

Beds & Borders

Mulching & Bed Maintenance

Nothing changes how a property reads from the street faster than fresh mulch and a sharp bed edge.

The best time to mulch on Long Island is mid to late spring, once the ground has thawed, or in the fall. We lay it at the right depth — deep enough to hold moisture and block weeds, shallow enough that it does not suffocate roots or pile against trunks. Before it goes down, beds get weeded and edges get spade-cut so the line between lawn and bed is clean and holds all season.

  • Beds weeded and cleared before mulch goes down
  • Hand-cut spade edging for a defined border
  • Hardwood, black, brown or red mulch — your choice
  • Correct depth, kept off trunks and stems
  • Decorative stone and gravel as an alternative
  • Ongoing weed control through the season

Design & Build

Landscape Design & Installation

A plan built around your house, your light, and how much upkeep you actually want.

Whether it is a full front-yard redesign or one bed that has never looked right, we start with what the site gives you — sun, shade, drainage, soil — and design to it. Plants get chosen for the conditions they will actually live in and for their mature size, so the layout still works in five years instead of turning into a pruning problem.

  • New bed layout and foundation planting design
  • Plant selection matched to sun, soil and drainage
  • Trees, shrubs, perennials and seasonal color
  • Stone, paver and decorative edging installation
  • Curb-appeal packages for sale-ready properties
  • Phased installs when you want to spread the work out

Turf & Plants

Planting, Sod & Lawn Repair

New plants that survive their first year, and bare spots that finally fill in.

Planting is mostly about what happens below the line — hole size, soil amendment, and setting the crown at the right height. Same with turf: a thin lawn usually is not a seed problem, it is a soil compaction, shade or drainage problem. We tell you which one you have before selling you a repair that will not hold.

  • Tree, shrub and perennial installation
  • Annual color for beds, borders and planters
  • Sod installation for fast, finished results
  • Overseeding and slice seeding for thin lawns
  • Topsoil and grading for low or bare areas
  • Straightforward watering instructions after install

Stone & Paver

Hardscaping

Patios, walkways, steps and walls that are still level in ten years.

Hardscape work lives or dies below the surface. On Long Island's sandy soil that means excavating deep enough, compacting the base in lifts, and getting the drainage right before a single paver is set. Skip that and the prettiest patio on the block heaves by the third winter. We build it the slow way so you never think about it again.

  • Paver and natural stone patios
  • Walkways, front steps and landings
  • Retaining and seat walls
  • Driveway aprons and Belgian block edging
  • Proper base depth, compaction and drainage
  • Planting and bed work to finish the install

Commercial & Municipal

Commercial & Municipal Grounds

Grounds that stay presentable without you having to chase anybody.

Storefronts, offices, medical buildings, HOAs, rental portfolios and municipal grounds run on a contracted schedule with the scope written out — what gets done, how often, and what it costs. You get one point of contact, and we work around your hours so crews are not running mowers past your front door during business. Four decades of it, with the insurance and references to match.

  • Contracted weekly grounds maintenance
  • Municipal parks, medians and public grounds
  • Entrance and signage beds kept clean and planted
  • Parking lot islands, curb lines and common areas
  • Scheduled seasonal cleanups and mulch refresh
  • Work timed around your business hours
  • One contact, one invoice, written scope

Timing

What Your Property Needs, and When

A rough Long Island calendar. We send reminders as each window opens.

Spring

Cleanup and debris removal, bed edges re-cut, first mow, mulch once the ground thaws, spring planting, and pruning of summer-blooming shrubs.

Summer

Weekly mowing at a raised deck height, hedge shearing, weed control in beds, annual color refresh, and watching for drought and insect stress.

Fall

Leaf removal in stages, perennials cut back, overseeding and lawn repair while soil is still warm, fall mulch, and shrub planting.

Winter

Final cleanup, dormant pruning on the right species, and planning next season's design work while the beds are bare and easy to read.
