Landscape Maintenance
Spring Cleanup - Every spring we visit our properties to clean up any sticks, leaves, or debris left over from the previous winter and fall. Dead grass called “thatch” is removed to prevent suffocation and promote growth of the turf. Heavy stick areas are raked by hand to ensure a thorough cleanup of that area. To ensure removal of leaves in hard to reach corners we use back-pack blowers to blow the leaves onto the turf. From there, our mowers use heavy duty collection systems to collect all thatch, leaves, and debris that are later disposed of.
Sand left from the winter is very unhealthy for new turf growth, and it is also unappealing. Therefore during a spring cleanup power brooms are used to sweep any sand from the turf onto a pavement area. A truck sweeper then removes any sand.
Blade Edging - During the early part of spring, a blade edger is brought in to define the line between the turf and the cement. The blade digs down two inches into the ground to leave a crisp, clean looking edge. This is possible because on cement sidewalks there will be a 90 degree angle or a vertical edge which accommodates the edging machine. The edge is then maintained throughout the year by use of a line trimmer to cut grass hanging onto the walkways. When the line between the dirt and the cement becomes invisible, the blade edger is brought back in to define the edge once more.
Bed Edging - Spring time is a time to give ornamental beds a fresh new edge. To define the edge on a small bed, a typical flat head shovel is used to refresh the pre-existing edge. For new or large beds, we bring in a piece of equipment that has a rotating metal block which cuts a new, deep edge. This new edge definition will help mulch or rocks stay inside the bed during heavy periods of rain. When your property’s beds and tree rings are properly edged, the site becomes much more visually appealing.
Mulch - We also offer mulching services. Springtime is the best time to freshen up existing mulch, or for a new ornamental bed installation. All mulch is spread using a pitchfork and wheel barrel. This approach leaves a smoother, hands-on, end result.
Turf Maintenance - Upon arrival at a work site, once a week during the mowing season, lawn mowers are set at a desired deck height to promote future health and growth of the turf. If the grass is thick upon arrival and does not meet our expectations after the first cut, we then do what we call a “double cut.” Double cutting consists of going over the cut grass once again in the opposite direction. What this does is redistributes the clippings throughout the turf evenly leaving a smooth, clean looking, final product. In order to keep up with the growth of the grass we maintain all of our properties once a week, and every week the direction of our cut is changed. We change the direction of the cut every week to reduce any chances of uneven wear of the turf.
Towards the end of the season some properties may start to “burn.” This is when grass is not watered enough to keep up with the hot summer sun. If this occurs our skilled employees will “spot mow.” Spot mowing consists of only mowing shady or moist areas that have healthy grass that is not in danger of burning. Furthermore, areas that look burnt may need to be skipped to help keep moisture and prevent any future burning.
Line Trimming - All turf that the mowers cannot maintain is evened out using line trimmers to replace the same cutting height. Throughout the mowing season some line trimming heights may vary. Therefore our employees “spot trim” where needed to maintain an even height with the mowers. On asphalt sidewalks, curbs, and driveways the edges are tapered and therefore must be line trimmed to define the edge instead of using a blade edger.
Final Blow Off - After every turf area has been maintained, there may be grass clippings in mulch beds, sidewalks, roads, decks, patios, hatchways etc. Before we leave any property, all grass clippings that are found in these areas are thoroughly cleaned with forced air to maintain a neat appearance.
Shrub Pruning - Shrubs are trimmed once a year during late spring to early summer to keep a shapely appearance. To promote healthy new growth, dead wood and trunk sprouts are pruned. Low lying branches over sidewalks are cut to keep areas safe and manageable for traffic flow.
Weed Control - Weeds by definition are any undesired, uncultivated, or harmful kind of plant-life. Weeds and vines are a constant nuisance in ornamental shrub beds. To ensure that shrubs are able to absorb appropriate amounts of nutrients and water, potential suffocating vines must be removed by hand. Unsightly weeds will sprout in pavement cracks and curb lines. With the use of a line trimmer or a weed control application, we can make any unsightly weeds disappear. Weeds will be kept under control every visit during turf maintenance.
Brush Cutting - Once a year it is good to cut down all the unwanted overgrowth and brush growing on the borders of your property. It helps keep unwanted plant and animal life where it belongs; in the woods and not in your backyard. This also gives you the option of planting grass and ornamental shrubs where all the brush used to be. That will give the borders of your property a more groomed appearance, and still be leaving a natural feel.
Fall Cleanup - Every fall after a substantial amount of leaves have fallen from trees we will then perform what we call a fall cleanup. This consists of blowing all the leaves from beds and around trees onto the turf where it is then bagged by our heavy duty collection systems that are attached to our mowers. For bigger areas we use forced air to blow leaves to a curb where a neat line is formed for our leaf collection truck to pick up. We will have to make several trips to the same property to ensure a thorough cleanup to prevent any mess in the upcoming spring. We accomplish this before the first snowfall.

Pavers - If you’re thinking about installing a new driveway, patio, or walkway, it’s the perfect time to consider interlocking concrete pavers. Interlocking concrete pavers are concrete bricks that are used as a pavement. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors to match any décor.
These pavers are the smart choice for our New England climate. Not only are they beautiful and eye-catching, but they will stand the test of time in our continually changing climate. Unlike boring poured concrete or hot, uncomfortable asphalt, interlocking concrete pavers will never show unsightly cracks after a long harsh winter. Furthermore, if repairs are ever needed, the interlocking concrete pavers can be removed and replaced so they look as good as when they were first installed.
When you choose Bill's Landscaping L.L.C. to install your patio or walkway, you can rest assured that the job will get done right. This is because all projects are overseen by an Interlocking Concrete Pavers Institute (ICPI) certified supervisor. This supervisor will work with you to find the perfect size, shape, color, and pattern for your walkway or patio. We also make custom cuts to deliver almost any shape you desire from geometric patterns to a curving design.

Walls - Retaining walls don’t just have to have a function, they can have form too. Concrete blocks can take the look of natural stone for a much more affordable price, and come in a range of colors to match your house, patio, or walkway. These blocks can also be made into staircases for an impressive look at any of your home’s entrances. You can also have a freestanding wall installed around your patio to create an open-air “outdoor room.”
Wood timber walls are another great option to enhance your property and make a beautiful and elegant addition to a flower or herb garden.
Or mix and match the timber and natural stone to achieve your own unique space. Whatever your needs and tastes are, Bill's Landscaping L.L.C. can build it for you for years and years of enjoyment.

Drainage - Water can be a serious problem when it is in the wrong place, which creates issues from inconvenient puddles to basement leaks. The good news is Bill's Landscaping L.L.C has a variety of ways to fix your problem. One option would be to adjust the grade by raising or lowering the level of the ground to move water away from the problem area. If this is not an option, a French drain can be installed to collect excess water, move it away, and disperse it slowly to other areas in the yard. Or let’s say you have a gutter that drains between your house and walkway and there is no place for the water to go. We have the answer for that too -- a dry well. A dry well is a hidden retention basin that collects excess rain water and releases it slowly to avoid water problems. Whatever the issue might be, Bill's Landscaping L.L.C can help you find a way to dry things up.
Fencing - You know what they say, “A good fence makes good neighbors.” This may be true but a fence can do much more. A fence can provide safety for children and pets or privacy around the pool or barbeque. A partial fence can hide an unsightly wood or compost pile. Or maybe you want to add some shade to your garden or have something for your grape vines to grow up. Bill's Landscaping L.L.C. can build you a wood, vinyl, or chain link fence in a matter of days to transform your yard. If you’re looking for an even greater transformation, we can use our expert knowledge of plants and pavers to make the yard of your dreams a reality.
Bed Installation - What is a bed? It’s a maintained area that is not a turf area, which means new beds are a great way to bring a clean look to those places you just can not get grass to grow. They greatly enhance steep hills, shady spots, and high-traffic areas. You can fill beds with almost anything, from ground covering plants, to mulch, to stone, or a combination of all three. Create a tranquil rock garden with rock sculptures or have a soft mulch bed installed for your children to play in. All of these can be used in conjunction with any number of plantings to achieve your desired effect. A Bill's Landscaping L.L.C. associate will be happy to meet with you to discuss even more creative ways to beautify your property.
Shrub Installation - New shrubs are the fastest and most cost-effective way to bring new life to your home. New shrubs in the front of your house can reshape its look. Perennial beds can greatly enhance your backyard. Another option is to have fresh soil installed around your mailbox for beautiful annual plantings. When it comes to planting the possibilities are endless. The knowledgeable staff of Bill's Landscaping LLC will help you pick the perfect plants for any location and install them where they will thrive. We are always happy to answer any of your questions and we will make sure each completed job exceeds your expectations.
Grass/Turf Installation - There’s no better way to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family than playing around on your soft, green yard. Do you wish you yard was a bit, or maybe a lot, greener and softer? Let Bill's Landscaping LLC help. We can revamp your existing yard or plant you an entirely new one. Within a few weeks you can have a smooth, plush, green yard. Give us a call and we’ll get you growing right away.
