Our Services

We offer comprehensive landscaping and tree services tailored to New London properties.

Spring & Fall Cleanup

After New London winters, properties accumulate leaf mats, fallen branches, and debris that invite mold and disease. Spring cleanup removes winter damage and preps beds for new growth. Fall cleanup prevents ice damage and rots that weaken plants over the frozen months. Both seasons matter equally in our coastal climate with salt spray and moisture.

• Leaf and debris removal from beds and lawn
• Clearing fallen branches and limbs
• Bed edging and soil prep for plantings
• Salt damage assessment and overseeding

Whether you're prepping a property near Ocean Beach Park or renovating a multi-story colonial downtown, land clearing removes overgrowth, fallen debris, and obstacles.

Why Local Expertise Matters

New London landscapes face unique challenges—and we know them intimately.

Historic District Expertise

New London has 13 historic districts on the National Register. Properties in downtown, Bank Street, the Waterfront, and Coit Street may require design review approval for significant landscape changes. We understand these requirements and help navigate them seamlessly—keeping your vision intact while respecting historic character.

Coastal & Salt Tolerance

Living near the Thames River and Long Island Sound means salt spray, moisture fluctuations, and winter road salt stress. We select plants and mulches that thrive in these conditions and manage aeration and overseeding to combat salt damage—key for keeping lawns green year-round.

Weather & Seasonal Timing

Connecticut falls and springs are compressed. Leaves drop fast; winter arrives hard. We time cleanups, aeration, and plantings to match New London's climate windows, so work is done right and plants establish before seasonal stress hits.

Professional Licensing & Insurance

We're fully licensed, insured, and comply with Connecticut building codes. For any property in a historic district or requiring permits, we handle coordination so you don't have to worry about compliance or liability.
