Two very different halves
Near the water, thin soil and salt-laden wind. Inland, deeper soil and shade. We choose plants for which side of town you are on rather than from one list.

Landscaping in Norwalk, CT
Norwalk is where we started in 1974 and where the yard still is. Half a century of the same streets means we already know your soil, your drainage and, more often than not, your neighbours.

Norwalk, CT
This is our home ground
Landscaping in Norwalk is where Minutemen began in 1974, and the yard on Highland Avenue is still the base every crew works from. That is the practical difference here: a Norwalk property is never more than a few minutes away when something needs attention this week rather than next, whether it is a full landscape design or a standing lawn-care round.
It also means we have watched this town change. Properties we first cut in the 1970s have been through three owners, and we are still on some of them. That length of relationship tells you things no site visit can, which corner of the garden floods, what was planted where and when, which tree is closer to the drain than it looks.
Norwalk is not one landscape either. The shoreline neighbourhoods deal with salt air and wind; the inland ones have deeper soil and heavier tree cover. A plant list that works on one side of the Post Road can struggle on the other.
Where in Norwalk
We work throughout Norwalk, including Rowayton, East Norwalk, South Norwalk, West Norwalk, Silvermine, Cranbury and Broad River.
On the ground
What Norwalk ground actually does
The difference between a garden that establishes and one that struggles is usually decided by conditions, not by the plants.
Tree cover in the older streets
Mature canopy in the established neighbourhoods means many lawns get far less sun than the homeowner assumes. A shade-tolerant mix beats fighting it every August.
A long working season
Coastal Norwalk warms earlier and holds later than the north of the county, so maintenance rounds start sooner here and run further into the autumn.

Through the year
The Norwalk year, week by week
Coastal Norwalk warms early and holds late, so our rounds here run longer at both ends than anywhere else we work.
Spring cleanup in Norwalk
Winter debris cleared, beds cut back and edged, first feed down. Shoreline streets are usually ready a fortnight before the north of the county.
Weekly mowing & mulch
A fixed cutting day, edges kept crisp, and mulch laid at a depth that holds moisture through a dry August without burying the crowns.
Fall cleanup & leaf removal
Leaves off the turf before the wet sets in, perennials cut back, and the property left ready for winter rather than abandoned to it.

Questions
Landscaping in Norwalk
If yours is not here, ring us. We would rather answer it now than have you wondering.
(203) 247-7744Our yard is at 377 Highland Avenue. It is a working site rather than a showroom, so call ahead if you want to come by and we will make sure someone is there.
Yes, Rowayton, East and South Norwalk, West Norwalk, Silvermine, Cranbury, Broad River and everywhere between. Rowayton has its own page because the waterfront lots there are a genuinely different job.
Faster than anywhere else we work. Most of the town is minutes from the yard, so a look at something urgent can usually happen the same week.
Close to the water, considerably. Salt spray and wind rule out a lot of what thrives two miles inland. We choose accordingly, and that difference is most of what fifty years here teaches you.
Yes. Office grounds, condominium associations and retail frontage across the town, on scheduled contracts with a named contact and a record of visits.
Yes, including the site visit. There is no charge and no obligation afterwards.
