On a larger Fairfield County property, that approach starts to break down. The lawn, beds, trees, shrubs, drainage, seasonal cleanup and hardscape all affect one another. By the time you notice one […]

You love the patio. You finally have the outdoor furniture where you want it. Then you sit down with a cup of coffee and realize you are looking directly into the neighbor’s kitchen.

Lawn Care
Winter lawn care in Fairfield County, Connecticut, is less about doing more and more and more about not doing the wrong things. By January, lawns across Stamford, Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Westport, Norwalk, and Wilton are dormant.
