Shoreline versus backcountry
Salt air and exposure near the Sound; wooded slopes and colder winters inland. The same plant list will not serve both ends of this town.
Grounds where the standard is weekly and exacting, and where an untidy fortnight is noticed immediately. Greenwich is less about doing something impressive than about never having a bad week.

Landscaping in Greenwich is held to a weekly, exacting standard, and an untidy fortnight is noticed at once. Estate grounds care here is not fundamentally different from what we do elsewhere. It is the tolerance that changes. Edges have to be crisp every week, not most weeks, which makes consistency the whole job.
Which is why we run settled crews on fixed days rather than rotating whoever is available. On grounds this size the crew's familiarity with the property is worth more than any single skill: they know the irrigation layout, the gate codes, the specimen that got moved last spring and the corner that always dries out first.
Greenwich also spans a wide range of ground. The shoreline neighbourhoods bring salt air and exposure; the backcountry is wooded, sloping and considerably colder in February. A plant list that suits one can be entirely wrong for the other.
Where in Greenwich
We work throughout Greenwich, including Old Greenwich, Riverside, Cos Cob, Round Hill, Belle Haven, Byram and the backcountry.
One town, two quite different landscapes, and a standard that does not move for either.
Salt air and exposure near the Sound; wooded slopes and colder winters inland. The same plant list will not serve both ends of this town.
Clipped hedging, topiary and formal borders need cutting on a schedule set by the species, not by whenever the round reaches you.
Grounds at this standard are judged continuously. That makes reliable scheduling and a settled crew the substance of the service, not a nicety.

Schemes drawn for the specific end of town, exposed shoreline or wooded backcountry, and for how they will be maintained afterwards.
View servicePlanting, terracing, walls and walkways built to a finish that will stand up to being looked at closely, every week.
View serviceWeekly estate grounds care with settled crews, fixed days and edges held to a consistent line through the season.
View serviceFormal hedging, topiary and specimen work cut in the correct window and kept to shape rather than merely reduced.
View serviceGrounds held to this standard are judged continuously, so the calendar is about consistency rather than set-piece visits.
Beds cleared, edges re-cut to a line, mulch laid evenly, and formal planting assessed before the growing season starts.
Fixed days, settled crews, and hedges cut in their window so clipped forms stay dense rather than gradually opening up.
Leaves cleared continuously rather than in one sweep, and tender planting protected before the first hard frost.
Half a century working Fairfield County soil. We know which slopes wash out, which lawns burn in August, and which shrubs survive a shoreline winter.
You are not handed to a salesperson. The estimate comes from someone who will be on site while the work is done.
Fully insured crews, predictable schedules, and the same faces returning week after week.
Right plant, right place, room to mature. Anyone can make a bed look full on the day it is planted.
An overgrown boundary brought back over two seasons, then held square on a scheduled cut.
Scheduled mowing, edging and bed care through the season, on the same day every week.
Thin, compacted turf aerated, overseeded and fed back into a lawn that holds through August.
Work shown is representative of the type of project we take on, not necessarily photographed in Greenwich.
Our routes run out of the yard on Highland Avenue in Norwalk, so most of lower Fairfield County is on a round already. If your street sits on a boundary, call and ask, the answer is usually yes.
All service areasIf yours is not here, ring us. We would rather answer it now than have you wondering.
(203) 247-7744Yes. Weekly grounds care on larger private properties is a substantial part of what we do, on a written schedule that sets out exactly what each visit covers.
That is the intention, and on grounds this size it is most of the value. A crew that knows the irrigation layout and the gate codes gives you a better result than a more skilled crew seeing it for the first time.
Yes. Clipped forms are cut in the window that suits the species and held to a line on a schedule, which is the only way they stay dense rather than gradually opening up.
Both. They are genuinely different growing conditions, colder and more wooded inland, salt and exposure at the shore, and we plant accordingly rather than from one list.
Yes, supplied for your file without being chased, along with a named contact and a record of visits where the property is managed rather than owner-occupied.
Yes, including the drive out and the walk-round. No charge and no obligation afterwards.
About half an hour from the Norwalk yard, and on a regular round. Tell us the property and we will come and walk it, at no charge.
We will walk the property, talk through what you want, and put a price in writing. No charge, and no pressure afterwards.
