Landscaping Services Process

How We Handle Your Property

We start by looking at what you actually have to work with. Your soil, your drainage, your sun exposure, your existing plants. Not what we wish you had, but what’s really there.

Then we talk about what you want your property to do for you. Maybe you need low-maintenance landscaping because you travel for work. Maybe you want a space where your kids can actually play. Maybe you just want to stop being embarrassed when people drive by.

From there, we create a plan that makes sense for your budget and your timeline. If you need ongoing lawn maintenance, we set up a schedule that keeps your property looking consistent year-round. If you want custom landscape design, we walk you through exactly what that looks like and how long it takes.

The work gets done when we say it will. You don’t have to be home to supervise. You don’t have to worry about whether we know what we’re doing. You just get to enjoy having a property that looks like professionals take care of it.

How often should my lawn be mowed during growing season?

Most Oxford lawns need mowing every 7-10 days during peak growing season, which typically runs from late April through early October. But the real answer depends on your grass type, weather conditions, and how you want your property to look. Cool-season grasses common in Connecticut grow fastest in spring and fall when temperatures are moderate. During hot summer periods, growth slows and you might stretch to every two weeks. The key is never cutting more than one-third of the grass height at once, which can stress your lawn and create brown patches that take weeks to recover.
Spring cleanup should begin when the ground is no longer frozen and you can walk on your lawn without leaving deep footprints, usually mid to late March in Oxford. Starting too early when soil is still waterlogged can compact your lawn and damage root systems. The ideal window is after the last hard frost but before new growth really takes off. This timing allows you to clear winter debris, assess any damage from snow and ice, and prepare your landscaping for the growing season. Waiting too long means you’re working around new growth and potentially damaging plants that have already started their spring cycle.
Reliable landscaping contractors show up when they say they will, communicate clearly about timing and costs, and their previous work still looks good years later. We should be able to explain why we recommend specific treatments or timing for your property, not just give you generic answers. Check our work in your neighborhood if possible – lawns and landscaping we’ve maintained for multiple seasons will show our actual skill level. We also handle Connecticut’s weather disruptions professionally, rescheduling appropriately rather than rushing through wet conditions that can damage your property.
Professional lawn maintenance in Oxford typically ranges from $40-80 per visit for standard mowing and trimming, depending on property size and complexity. Full-service lawn care maintenance programs that include fertilization, weed control, and seasonal treatments usually run $150-400 per month during growing season. The wide range reflects differences in property size, service frequency, and what’s actually included. Be cautious of prices that seem too good to be true – quality equipment, proper insurance, and skilled crews cost money. The cheapest option often becomes the most expensive when you factor in poor results and having to hire someone else to fix problems.
Fall leaf cleanup should happen in stages rather than waiting for every leaf to drop. The first cleanup typically occurs in mid to late October when about 60-70% of leaves have fallen. This prevents your lawn from being smothered while still allowing you to capture most of the debris in one service. A final cleanup in late November or early December gets the stragglers and prepares your property for winter. Waiting until all leaves have fallen often means working in poor weather conditions and dealing with wet, matted leaves that are much harder to remove and can cause lasting damage to your grass.
Absolutely. Low-maintenance landscaping design focuses on plant selection that thrives in Connecticut’s climate without constant intervention. This means choosing native or adapted plants that handle our winters and summer heat, grouping plants with similar water needs, and creating designs that look intentional as they mature rather than requiring constant pruning. We can also incorporate hardscaping elements like stone borders or mulched areas that reduce the amount of lawn you need to maintain. The goal is creating attractive landscaping that enhances your property value without demanding every weekend of your time.
