Our services

Eight services. One small, accountable crew.

Everything your property needs from April to March, priced honestly and carried out by people who answer their own phone.

Lawn Mowing & Edging

Weekly or bi-weekly cuts at 3.0–3.5" — the height research from Cornell Cooperative Extension recommends for our cool-season grasses. Each visit includes string-trimming, edging walkways and beds, and blowing all clippings off hard surfaces.

  • Weekly (recommended May–Sept) or bi-weekly schedule
  • Edging along driveways, walks, beds, and curbs
  • Trimmer work around trees, fences, and AC units
  • Hard-surface blow-down before we leave

From $42 / visit (¼-acre lots)

4-Step Lawn Care Program

A custom-built fertilization and weed-control schedule for the Capital Region. Each round is timed to soil temperature, not the calendar — because Schenectady's spring is rarely on time.

  • Round 1 · Pre-emergent + early-spring feed (April)
  • Round 2 · Broadleaf weed control + slow-release N (June)
  • Round 3 · Summer stress feed + grub prevention (July)
  • Round 4 · Winterizer with potassium boost (October)

From $329 / season for ¼-acre lawns

Landscape Design & Installation

From a single foundation bed to a full property redesign. We draw the plan on paper, walk it with you, then install — using nursery stock from McKownville and Faddegon's, two of the Capital Region's best growers.

  • Hand-drawn or CAD plans (your choice)
  • Native and pollinator-friendly plant selections
  • Triple-shredded hardwood mulch installed annually
  • 1-year plant health warranty

Project-based · Most beds $850–$2,400

Hardscaping

Paver patios, flagstone walkways, segmental retaining walls, and fire-pit installations. Built on properly compacted base — the part of the job most contractors skip.

  • Techo-Bloc, Unilock, and Cambridge paver lines
  • 6" compacted gravel base on every install
  • Polymeric sand joints, swept and locked
  • 5-year workmanship warranty

Patios from $24 / sq ft installed

Spring & Fall Cleanups

We sweep, rake, dethatch, prune, and haul off everything that winter (or autumn) leaves behind. Most properties take a single full-day visit per season.

  • Leaf removal — tarped and hauled off-site
  • Bed cutbacks and pruning of perennials
  • Light pruning of shrubs under 8'
  • Gutter downspout clearing at ground level

From $285 per cleanup

  • December 1 – March 31 seasonal contracts
  • Auto-trigger at 2" accumulation
  • Walkways shoveled, treated with calcium chloride
  • Priority for medical & elderly households

Seasonal flat rate from $480

  • Structural pruning of deciduous trees
  • Late-winter dormant pruning of fruit trees
  • Deep-root liquid fertilization
  • Stump grinding to 6" below grade

Pruning from $185 / hour

Spring start-ups, mid-season audits, head replacements, and fall blow-outs for residential irrigation systems. We work on Hunter, Rain Bird, and Toro components.

  • Spring start-up & zone-by-zone audit
  • Backflow testing (NY State certified)
