Making the Most of Hudson Valley Yards and Slopes
Living in the Hudson Valley usually means dealing with yard challenges—clay-heavy dirt, ledge rock right under the surface, or slopes that wash out every spring. Building a patio or laying out garden beds here isn't just about putting down stone or throwing seed around. If the groundwork isn't handled correctly, heavy winter freezes will shift your pavers, and poor drainage will leave water pooling against your foundation.
We approach every job with local conditions in mind. That means excavating deep enough to build solid bases, choosing native trees and shrubs that can handle hot summers and freezing winters, and building retaining walls that keep dirt where it belongs. Whether you want a simple backyard patio, a fire pit area, or ongoing lawn upkeep, we make sure the work holds up season after season.
Services We Offer
From initial excavation and masonry to weekly lawn care, we handle all aspects of exterior work for residential and commercial properties.
Plant Care and Yard Upkeep
Keeping a yard healthy takes more than hitting it with a lawnmower once a week. Soil in our area tends to compact easily, which starves roots of air and water. Our lawn care programs cover core aeration, soil conditioning, seasonal fertilizer applications, and grub control tailored specifically to northern Westchester grass varieties. We also prune shrubs and manage tree health so your planting beds stay neat and full.

Custom Landscape Layouts
A good design fits both your home's architecture and the natural contours of your land. We sit down with you to plan planting layouts, walkways, and bed shapes that make sense for your property. By pairing structured stone borders with hardy perennials and shrubs, we create clean, organized outdoor spaces that look sharp without requiring constant upkeep.

Complete Yard Overhauls
If your yard is currently unusable due to steep slopes, overgrown brush, or poor drainage, a full overhaul can turn it into actual living space. We handle complete backyard transformations, including stone patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and integrated seating walls. We manage everything from digging out the site to laying the final paver, so you don't have to coordinate multiple crews.

Regular Lawn Maintenance
Maintaining a green lawn takes consistent attention through spring, summer, and fall. We handle weekly mowing, sharp edge cutting along driveways and walkways, and cleanup after every visit. Our scheduled care programs keep your grass thick and healthy while saving you hours of weekend yard work.
Learn moreCommercial Grounds Care
First impressions matter for local businesses, apartment complexes, and office parks. We offer full grounds maintenance for commercial properties, keeping entryways clear, turf green, and plant beds weeded. Our team works efficiently to maintain safety and curb appeal without disrupting your daily business operations.
Learn moreGarden Beds & Planting
Well-planned garden beds add structure and color to your property. Before planting anything, we test soil conditions, evaluate drainage, and track light patterns across your yard. We pick a mix of deer-resistant perennials, decorative grasses, and flowering shrubs that thrive in Hudson Valley climate conditions.
Learn moreFresh Sod & Lawn Replacement
When a lawn is beyond saving with aeration and seed, sod gives you a lush, deep-green yard in a single day. We strip away dead turf, grade the soil, add topsoil, and lay fresh, high-quality sod tightly so roots take hold quickly. We also give you exact watering instructions so the new grass establishes properly.
Learn moreMulch and Decorative Stone
A thick layer of organic mulch protects root systems, keeps soil cool during peak summer heat, and slows down weed growth. If you prefer a lower-maintenance alternative, decorative stone or river rock creates durable bed borders that won't wash away during heavy rainstorms.

Everything from dealing with the manager to the workers where phenomenal. They were knowledgeable never stopped working and help me plan out my landscaping, very professional Highly recommend them Thank you
Glenn and crew do great work. I have entrusted multiple projects to them (most recently plantings around the pool) and each is done with the utmost care. I'm always asked at the end (and during) if I'm satisfied or if anything needs to be changed (and it is if it needs be). I wouldn't hesitate to use them. Just fantastic work.
Worked with Glenn and his team on significant tree removal, grading, and seeding project for the front our home. In total, Glenn and his team cleared out over 20 large trees that blocked the front of our home, cleared brush, ground stumps, removed large rocks, and graded the entire area with significant amounts of clean fill, topsoil and new grass seed. While the trees provided our home privacy, it took away from curb appeal, but most importantly we did not have much of a front yard for our kids to play in.
