Built for River Hills and Heavy Clay Soil
Working on properties near the Hudson River means dealing with steep grades, dense clay, and heavy rain runoff that quickly ruins an unprepared lawn. Slopes require proper retaining structures, and garden beds need soil conditioning that actually allows roots to breathe and drain.
We combine durable masonry work with thoughtful planting so your yard looks right and handles heavy storms without washing away. Whether you need a patio built from local bluestone, a new driveway installation, or professional hardscape design and installation, we focus on building things that stay level and last.

Weekly Lawn Care
Keeping grass healthy in Westchester takes more than a quick mow every Friday. Our maintenance programs cover regular cutting, edge trimming along beds and walks, core aeration to loosen tight soil, and targeted treatments so your turf stays thick through summer heat.

Commercial Property Grounds
Storefronts, office buildings, and residential complexes need clean entryways and clear walkways year-round. We handle commercial grounds maintenance on a schedule that keeps your property neat, safe, and welcoming without interfering with daily business traffic.

Plant Beds & Flower Gardens
We choose shrubs, trees, and perennial flowers that handle long dry spells in July as well as hard winter freezes. After turning organic compost into the existing soil, we set each plant at the correct depth so root systems establish quickly and survive for years.

New Sod and Lawn Replacement
When an old lawn is full of weeds, torn up by machinery, or washed out by erosion, laying sod gives you grass right away. We strip out compromised turf, till and level the subsoil, and lay down thick, cool-season sod that takes root within weeks.

From retaining walls and stone patios to grading and drainage accents, our structural hardscaping is built with solid sub-bases engineered to resist Hudson Valley frost shifts.

Outdoor Yard Work & Grading
When water pools near your foundation or runs across your patio, planting new flowers won't solve the issue. We re-grade uneven ground, set up proper swales and surface drainage, and build stable bases so your yard stays dry.

Fresh Mulch and Stone Accents
A fresh layer of dark bark mulch or river stone keeps weeds down and holds moisture around plant roots during dry stretches. We cut clean spade edges along every bed so mulch stays where it belongs.

Custom fire pits, fireplaces, and built-in seating walls using natural bluestone and regional fieldstone that extend outdoor enjoyment into late autumn.

Reviews from Neighbors Around Westchester
We take pride in showing up on time, keeping work areas clean, and building stone features that stand the test of time. Here is what local property owners have to say about working with us.
Had another great experience with Hilltop. This year it was taking down a couple of monster oak trees that were near my house and plantings and the team did an awesome job of taking them down without doing any damage. The crew did a great job of cleaning up and left my yard in great shape. In the past they have done plantings, mulch, walkways etc… I always get compliments on how everything just blends together so nice and there is always something blooming despite lots of shade and deer!
We live in Yorktown and Hilltop did an amazing job planting and designing our front and side yards, and it came out gorgeous! Hilltop Masonry made our curb appeal stunning and we love the final outcome! His crew also tended all the beds around the property and the design and outcome went beyond our expectations! I knew what I liked and didn't like but Glenn guided us and used some of the plants we already had on the property and added more plantings for privacy and made our property an oasis now for us to enjoy all year long! We highly recommend Glen and his crew at Hilltop Masonry, they are the best!
I live in Cortlandt Manor Westchester County. I recently had purchased 20 Green Giants from Hilltop Nursery and had them install a tree line on my property between my house and my neighbors. They did an outstanding job. The crew was very professional and courteous. The owner even showed up at my house to make sure everything was to my satisfaction that day as well as the next day to view the completed project . I highly recommend them for ALL your landscaping , screen planting needs 5 Stars !!
