Hardscaping
Since 1985, we've delivered premium hardscaping services that create functional outdoor living spaces. Our offerings include patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. We work closely with clients to design and install durable, aesthetically pleasing hardscape elements that complement natural landscapes. Our expertise extends to decorative stone installations and outdoor lighting solutions that enhance property safety and appeal.

We've provided professional irrigation services since 1982. Our experts design and install water-efficient sprinkler systems that maintain lawn health while conserving resources. We offer complete irrigation solutions including system maintenance, winterization, backflow testing, and repair services. Our systems work with both well and city water sources, featuring water conservation devices that reduce overall consumption while maintaining optimal landscape hydration.
Lawn Care
As Connecticut's first lawn care specialists since 1974, we provide comprehensive lawn maintenance programs. Our services include fertilization, weed control, insect management, and seasonal lawn treatments. We offer customized programs with optional add-ons like aeration, lime application, and soil amendments. Our certified technicians use premium products to maintain healthy, vibrant lawns while addressing specific property requirements through personalized care plans.
Tick Control
Our tick control programs target all life stages of common Connecticut ticks. We offer standard (3 applications) and premium (5 applications) treatment schedules designed to reduce tick populations. Custom programs are available for specific needs, with applications timed to target ticks during critical life cycle phases including nymph season and fall host-seeking periods. Our treatments protect against disease-carrying species like deer ticks and American dog ticks.
