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.

Landscaping in Greenwich, CT

Consistency is the whole job
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.
On the ground
What Greenwich ground actually does
One town, two quite different landscapes, and a standard that does not move for either.
Formal planting held to a line
Clipped hedging, topiary and formal borders need cutting on a schedule set by the species, not by whenever the round reaches you.
No tolerance for a missed week
Grounds at this standard are judged continuously. That makes reliable scheduling and a settled crew the substance of the service, not a nicety.

Through the year
A Greenwich year has no quiet weeks
Grounds held to this standard are judged continuously, so the calendar is about consistency rather than set-piece visits.
Spring cleanup in Greenwich
Beds cleared, edges re-cut to a line, mulch laid evenly, and formal planting assessed before the growing season starts.
Weekly grounds maintenance
Fixed days, settled crews, and hedges cut in their window so clipped forms stay dense rather than gradually opening up.
Fall cleanup & winter prep
Leaves cleared continuously rather than in one sweep, and tender planting protected before the first hard frost.

Questions
Landscaping in Greenwich
If 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.
