Southern Westchester · Eastchester, NY
Eastchester is a town of well-kept Colonials and Capes, where a thick, even lawn from April through November is the backbone of the whole yard.
Many Eastchester homes have the classic front-and-back lawn layout, which looks great when it's thick and even and tired when it isn't. We mow at the right height for the season, keep edges crisp along walks and driveways, and schedule aeration and overseeding in early fall, when cool-season grass recovers best.
Street trees and backyard maples drop leaves over several weeks, and a single cleanup often isn't enough. We time fall cleanups so the heaviest leaf fall is cleared before it mats down on the lawn, then return in spring to remove what collected in beds, along fences and around foundations over the winter.
Parts of town have heavier clay soil that holds water after storms, leaving low areas of lawn mushy for days. We check grading, downspout outlets and soil before recommending a fix, whether that's regrading, a French drain, a dry well or amending the soil, so water moves off the lawn and away from the house.
The unincorporated part of Eastchester sits between Scarsdale, Bronxville and Tuckahoe, with White Plains Road (Route 22) and the Hutchinson River Parkway running through it. Neighborhoods around Lake Isle and Chester Heights are mostly single-family homes, including Colonials, Capes, Tudors and split-levels, on lots with full front and back lawns. There are also garden apartments and co-ops, plus the retail strip along Route 22 that needs neat frontage all year.
We keep Eastchester yards on a steady rhythm: weekly mowing and edging through the growing season, spring cleanups that clear winter debris and wake up the beds, and fall cleanups that handle the leaf load from the town's mature maples and oaks. Where a lawn stays soggy or water runs toward the house, we regrade and add drainage so the grass has a fair chance. Routes usually start within one to two weeks, and estimates are always free.
“My property was in desperate need of landscaping. A friend told me to call Roman and I'm glad I did!! He is so polite. He does what he says he's going to do and he and his men work quickly and efficiently! Great job. I was happy, and I'll be using their services again!”
Regular mowing, clean edges and the seasonal work that keeps a Westchester lawn thick: aeration, overseeding, seeding and sod. Our own crews, on a set route, from spring through fall.

Most properties here do best with a cleanup after the bulk of the leaves are down, which typically lands in November, and sometimes a second visit if the trees drop late. We'll suggest timing based on what's growing in your yard.
Often, yes. The cause is usually compacted clay, a low spot, or downspouts emptying onto the lawn. Depending on what we find, the fix may be core aeration and topdressing, regrading the low area, or adding underground drainage. We'll explain each option and what it's likely to accomplish before any work starts.
Yes. Along with single-family homes, we maintain garden apartments, co-ops and retail properties, keeping lawns, shrubs and planters tidy on a fixed schedule. Commercial clients can request a Certificate of Insurance, and we're happy to walk the site with a manager or owner to set the scope.
