What Your Yard Looks Like After

You pull into your driveway and actually feel proud of what you see. Your lawn is thick and green without brown patches or weeds taking over. The landscape design complements your home instead of looking like an afterthought.

Your neighbors notice. Your property value reflects the care you’ve invested. Most importantly, you’re not spending your weekends fighting with a mower or wondering why your plants keep dying.

The seasonal transitions happen smoothly. Fall leaves get cleaned up before they kill your grass. Spring cleanup happens on schedule. Your landscaping works with Connecticut’s climate instead of against it.

Comprehensive Lawn Care Services

What's Included in Our Service

Our landscaping services cover everything from custom landscape design to regular lawn maintenance. We handle lawn mowing, edging, and trimming with commercial-grade equipment that delivers results you can’t get with residential tools.

Seasonal services include spring cleanup, leaf removal, and preparing your property for Connecticut winters. We know when to prune, when to plant, and what varieties work best in Goshen’s soil and climate conditions.

For larger projects, our landscape design process includes plant selection, hardscape elements, and creating outdoor spaces that enhance your property value. We work with your existing features and budget to create something that fits your lifestyle and maintenance preferences.

How often should my lawn be mowed during growing season?

Most lawns in Goshen need mowing weekly during peak growing season, which typically runs from late April through September. However, this can vary based on weather conditions, grass type, and how fast your particular lawn grows. During hot, dry periods in summer, we might stretch it to 10 days, while spring growth spurts might require more frequent cutting. The key is never removing more than one-third of the grass blade length at once, which keeps your lawn healthy and thick.

When is the best time for landscape design projects in Connecticut?

Spring and fall are ideal for most landscape design projects in Connecticut. Spring planting (April through early June) gives plants a full growing season to establish before winter. Fall planting (September through October) works well because soil is still warm but air temperatures are cooler, reducing stress on new plants. We avoid major planting during July and August heat, though hardscape work and planning can happen year-round. Winter is actually perfect for design planning since you can see your property’s bones without foliage.

What's included in seasonal leaf cleanup service?

Our leaf cleanup service includes removing leaves from your lawn, beds, and gutters if accessible. We use commercial blowers and vacuums to clear leaves from around foundation plantings, walkways, and other areas where they accumulate. The leaves are either removed from your property or can be composted in a designated area if you prefer. We typically do 2-3 cleanups during fall season, timing them to catch the bulk of leaf drop while preventing damage to your grass underneath.

How do you choose plants that will actually survive Connecticut winters?

We only recommend plants rated for USDA Zone 6 or hardier, which covers the Goshen area. Beyond cold tolerance, we consider soil drainage, sun exposure, and maintenance requirements. Native Connecticut plants like mountain laurel, eastern redbud, and native azaleas typically perform best because they’re adapted to our climate. We avoid trendy plants that look great in magazines but struggle with our temperature swings and soil conditions. Every plant recommendation comes with realistic expectations about mature size, care requirements, and seasonal appearance.

What happens if you can't make a scheduled lawn maintenance visit?

Weather happens, and we adjust accordingly. If rain or other conditions prevent us from maintaining your property on the scheduled day, we contact you and reschedule within the same week when possible. We don’t mow wet grass because it damages both your lawn and our equipment. For extended weather delays, we prioritize properties based on need and work extra days to catch up. You’re never charged for visits we can’t complete, and we communicate any schedule changes as soon as we know about them.

How much does professional landscaping cost compared to doing it myself?

Professional landscaping costs vary widely based on services needed, property size, and project complexity. Basic lawn maintenance typically costs less than most homeowners spend on equipment, fuel, and their time over a season. For landscape design projects, professional installation often costs less than DIY when you factor in plant replacements, tool purchases, and time investment. We provide upfront estimates for all work so you can compare costs accurately. Many clients find the time savings and guaranteed results make professional service worth the investment.
