Residential Lawn Care Service & Landscape Planting in Milford, CT

Our team completed a comprehensive landscape design and installation project at a residential property in Milford, CT, enhancing the pool area with vibrant new plantings and a full lawn care makeover. Services included custom landscape design, new bed line creation, compost and planting mix installation, planting and transplanting, fertilization, mulching, and a tick control spray as part of an ongoing lawn care program.

Landscape Design- Custom layout and plant selection to enhance the visual flow and functionality of the poolside area.

Bed Line Creation- Defined garden beds with clean edges to separate turf from planting areas and add professional polish. Existing turf was removed and disposed of to create a clean slate for new plantings.

Compost and Planting Mix Installation- Enriched the soil with nutrient-rich organic materials to support strong root development and a healthy soil microbiome.

Transplanting Existing Plants- Carefully relocated existing plants to new areas of the property to preserve mature specimens and balance the design.

Plant Installation- Professionally installed a diverse mix of trees, shrubs, perennials, and grasses for seasonal interest and lasting beauty. Plant list is included below.

Fertilization and Mulching- Applied starter fertilizer to supply long-lasting nutrients to the plants and promote healthy root growth, as well as added premium mulch to retain moisture, reduce rain splash, suppress weeds, and insulate plant roots.

Lawn Care Program- A six-step annual program designed to create lush, green, weed-free, and pest-resistant turf.

Tick Control Spray- A perimeter treatment applied around the property to prevent ticks and other disease-carrying pests from invading the outdoor space.
