Situation

You just bought a house and the yard is a mess

An overgrown yard is a one-time reset, then routine care: cut down and haul the overgrowth, prune or remove shrubs, define beds, mow the lawn back to height, then start a weekly route. The crew walks it with you and quotes the reset and the season separately.

Homeowners walking their yard and pointing out work

The house was the priority. Now it's spring and the yard is three summers behind.

How do you reset an overgrown yard?

  1. Walk the yard together: what stays, what goes.
  2. Cut back and haul overgrowth and dead shrubs.
  3. Edge and weed beds; mulch.
  4. Mow the lawn down in stages.
  5. Plan seeding in late summer if the grass is thin.

How do you keep it from coming back?

A weekly route plus spring and fall cleanups keeps it from happening again. Watch for ticks in long grass and leaf litter; URI says areas near Narragansett Bay have Rhode Island's highest tick numbers.

We're a referral service: one local crew gets your request and quotes in writing.
