Top Tips for Saving Money Now So You Can Dream Big Later

Professional Budgeting Ideas to Get Your Pet Project Underway this Spring

The team at Landwork Contractors always works with our clients to help them get the landscape of their dreams while staying within their budget. We know the holiday season is underway, but winter is the perfect time to start saving for your big spring project.

Here are some of our top tips to help you save for spring and summer fun during the winter.

Have a Plan & Set a Goal-There are basically three steps to having a plan.

Decide how much money you need to save. Our trusted landscaping experts are always happy to go over design and come up with reasonable estimates.

Know how much time you have. For instance, to start in April, you would have 4-5 months from December.

Know how much money you can set aside as you save. If you can only spare $25-$50 a week or every two weeks, that’s fine. There are ways to find more money to put aside.

Plant the Money You Save- An online or local savings account will help grow your money while you wait. The interest may not be huge, but every little penny counts.

Get Rid of Unwanted Items- From Amazon to these amazing book selling sites, you can earn quite a bit of cash from unwanted or unused items.

Find Other Sources- There are hundreds of ways you can get extra money for your dream project while barely lifting a finger.

Earn money on opinion sites. These sites will pay you in points that you can trade for giftcards or even cash.

Save on groceries with coupon and rebate apps.

Make small changes. If you always get a coffee on the way to work, start brewing at home. Skip the movie and enjoy your streaming service at home. Little changes add up to big money.

Use a change jar. If you have a little extra change jingling around, put it in a change jar and let it sit. You’ll be surprised how quickly it fills up.

The team at Landwork Contractors understands the budgeting challenges of landscaping and hardscaping projects. We’re here to help you get the landscape or backyard retreat of your dreams. Call us today at 914-479-2537, or make an appointment online. We can’t wait to get started on your dream!

Time to Prep Your Garden for Winter

Professional Landscaping Tips to Keep Your Home Beautiful Year Round

Winter is on its way and that means it’s time to prepare your garden and landscaping for the hard weather ahead. The team at Landwork Contractors is here to help. We live and work in the Westchester and Putnam County area so we understand the unique challenges of the region. To help you get started, here are some of our favorite winter prep tips for your garden and landscaping.

Prune Carefully–  Winter weather puts your trees and shrubs to sleep, so it’s the perfect time for a little pruning. However, if you prune the wrong tree or snip the wrong branch you can have even more trouble. Carefully prune broken branches, diseased limbs, or weakened boughs. Benefits of dormant pruning include:

Strengthens Plants Against Ice and Snow

Prevents Infestation from BugsPrevents Disease

Prevents Overgrowth

Encourages Healthy New Growth

Creates Beautiful Landscaping Year Round

Burlap Wrapping– Burlap is an incredibly versatile tool for your garden. You can use burlap all year round, but it’s especially helpful in winter landscape maintenance at home and at work. Wrapping your plants in burlap brings the following benefits:

Protection from Bugs and Pests

Protection from Cold Winds

Easy Wrap to Use Against Frost

Insulation Against Snow, Ice, and Cold Temperatures

Inexpensive Fix

Leftovers Can Be Used for Decoration or Other Projects

Make Mulch Happen– A nice fresh layer of mulch is one of our favorite things to add to any landscaping or garden in winter. Mulch is a beautiful and reliable option for certain areas of your winter garden. Here are just a few benefits of mulching your winter garden.

Provides a Layer of Insulation

Regulates Temperatures for Soil

Regulates Water for Soil

Protects Against Bugs

Protects Against Disease

Adds Color to Winter Landscape

Clean Up Before Snow Falls– Before the first big snow, it’s important to pick up all the toys, hoses, gardening tools and everything laying in your lawn.  Items left in your lawn or garden create dangerous hidden hazards once a heavy layer of snow falls. Anything else that lays on top of the lawn can also damage grass and soil just beneath.

Winter Garden Preparations Keep Your Investment Safe

Beautiful landscaping is an investment. With a little extra care, you can keep that investment safe. Landwork Contractors provides your landscaping and garden with all the protection they need. Leave the winter prep to us. Give us a call today at 914-479-2537 or make an appointment online. We’ll make sure your landscaping stays gorgeous all year long.

The Benefits of Repaving Your Blacktop Driveway

Professional Paving and Repaving Services Can Change the Whole Look of Your Home

The experts at Landwork Contractors have been providing dependable hardscaping services for over 16 years. One of the best hardscaping additions you can make is paving or repaving your blacktop. Here are just a few of the incredible benefits.

Safety- A professionally paved driveway provides a safe entrance for you, your family, and friends. Even paved driveways age. There can be cracks, potholes, and dents that make the driveway uneven. Repaving your driveway is a quick and easy way to create an even surface for family and guests.

Add Curb Appeal and Value- A beautifully paved blacktop driveway can add extra value and beauty to your home. Concrete drives often look drab and incomplete, while blacktop looks professional. Many homebuyers also know the importance of a well-paved drive, so repaving increases the value of your home too.

Protection- When you have a properly installed or repaved driveway, you also get some protection for your home and your vehicles. Blacktop driveways provide the appropriate grading and leveling needed to keep moisture away from your home. The flat surface also protects against damage caused by rocks, potholes, and cracks.

Saves Money- A beautiful blacktop driveway requires a lot less maintenance than gravel or concrete. It is less likely to crack and is very easy to repair. It is also highly durable. In fact, your driveway can last up to 20 years with proper care.

Makes Driveways Safer During Winter- Blacktop creates a reflective surface that helps to speed up the melting process of snow. This means quicker recovery during early winter months and fewer issues from ice.

Repave and Refresh Your Driveway Today

If you’re interested in repaving your blacktop, leave it to Landwork Contractors.  We deliver dependable blacktop installations and repaving. Give us a call at 914-479-2537 or make an appointment online. We’ll create a beautiful entryway that keeps your home safe and inviting.

Pruning and Trimming in Westchester County, NY

PROFESSIONAL PRUNING BY EXPERTS CREATES LANDSCAPING YOU’LL LOVE

In our corner of New York, lawn care is an art form, requiring skilled care and constant maintenance. This is especially true for our beautiful bushes, flowering trees, and fruit trees. Pruning and trimming your trees requires expert knowledge and precision techniques to ensure the beauty and health of your landscape. The team of landscape experts at Landwork Contractors is proud to live and work in this famous region, providing expert care and skilled pruning and trimming techniques to keep your landscape thriving.

Why Is Pruning Important?

Proper pruning is vital to the health and strength of many trees, shrubs, and flowering bushes. There are a number of reasons to prune your tree including:

Water sprouts or tree-suckers are fast growing limbs that steal nutrients from the rest of the plant. If left on their own, these limbs will can:

Drown out sunshine.

Create open wounds from rubbing on other limbs.

Increase the risk of disease and decay.

Suffocate the other areas of the tree, bush or shrub.

Tidy Up Lawns – Trees and bushes that grow out of control can create dead limbs, leaves, and branches that litter up your lawn. Pruning is an option in our fall cleanup services.

Control Growth – If you have trees or shrubbery near your home, fence, or driveway, pruning can help contain growth. This will keep your beautiful roses or fruit trees from invading other areas of your home.

Rejuvenate Growth – Pruning can encourage growth in plants with multi-stemmed growth.

Prevent Property Damage – Leaving limbs alone can create dead wood that will quickly collapse or be blown down in a storm. This could damage your home, your car, and even endanger your family.

Prevent Disease – Branches can break, die off, or be damaged by nature. When this happens, your plant becomes susceptible to disease. Proper pruning techniques will prevent decay and disease before it happens.

Get More Blooms – When your trusted landscaper in Westchester county properly prunes your shrubs and/or trees, you’ll see more blooms. Even better, these blooms will be more vibrant and beautiful than before.

Pruning is a Precise Science

Spring and fall are the main seasons for pruning. Though every plant is different, most pruning takes place in the spring. However, some plants need to be pruned during the beginning of spring, some during the end, and some throughout the season. In fall, some trees and shrubs will need to be winterized and some will simply need to be cleaned up. Pruning the wrong limb, or pruning at the wrong time can wreck your lovely landscaping.

Proper pruning takes precision and patience. The experts at Landwork Contractors have the experience, knowledge, and skill to keep your plants pruned to perfection. We offer a variety of pruning and trimming services to keep your lawn fresh and tidy all year long, including:

Spring Pruning

Regular Trimming and Pruning Maintenance

Limb Removal

Leaf Removal

Rose Bush Maintenance

Grading and Leveling Tips to Transform Your Landscaping

How to Customize Your Landscape with Professional Landscaping

Many homeowners and business owners struggle with properly taming their landscape. The experts at Landwork Contractors have been crafting personalized landscapes in the beautiful Hudson River Valley region for over 16 years. We love turning your dream designs into reality. Two of our best techniques for taming the landscape are grading and leveling. Here are a few of our best tips for how grading and leveling can transform your lawn.

Foundations for Healthy and Beautiful Landscapes

From shaping rolling hills to carving out more space, grading and leveling techniques can transform your lopsided lawn into a sanctuary. Grading and leveling can take eroding landscapes or uneven lawns and create a strong, healthy, and functional space by:

Creating Drainage- Draining issues are a major problem on sloped landscapes. Grading the land can control where and how water runs and drains on your property. This directs the water runoff away from your home and prevents property damage, mold, and puddling.

Improve Stability- A common drainage issue is erosion. Combining grading, leveling and a retaining wall installation can provide a strong foundation and end erosion that might affect the foundation of your home or create dangerous spots in your yard.

Improve the Health of Your Lawn- Lawns that are constantly eroding lose topsoil. Topsoil is the nutrient-rich upper layer of soil. It can take thousands of years to replace topsoil. As your trusted landscaper in Putnam County and Westchester County grades your lawn, he will carefully replace the topsoil to improve the health of your lawn.

Beautify Your Landscape- Grading and leveling can create a brand new landscape with different levels and outlooks. You can design terraces, slopes, retaining walls, and winding paths.

Direct Foot Traffic- Flat landscapes tend to have more foot traffic. If you are wanting to keep traffic in a certain area, our experts will help you design the right plan. Sloping hills, ponds, and retaining walls can all be used to keep traffic in the right area.

Provide More Surface Area- If you have a hilly lawn or sloping landscape, one of the best things grading and leveling can do is create a larger space. You can turn your hilly landscape into a whole new backyard, giving you room to entertain, play, and relax!

Establish Zones- When you grade and level your lawn, you can create different zones for different functions in your lawn. Examples include:

Outdoor Entertainment Areas

Play Areas for Pets and Kids

Relaxing Areas

Walking Paths

Gardening

No matter what design you choose to use in your landscaping, the experts at Landwork Contractors are ready to bring your vision to life. Call us today at 914-479-2537 or make an appointment online.  We’ll make a masterpiece of your lawn while you relax and enjoy the view.

Neat Landscape With Fall Trimming

Professional Landscapers Winterize Gardens and Lawns with Expert Care

Fall trimming requires considerable knowledge, skill, and precision. Trim the wrong thing in fall and you’ll have a bare shrub, tree, or flowering bush all spring and summer. Wait too long to trim your plants in fall and you get diseased, dying, or empty plants in the spring. How do you get it just right? Trust the experts at  Landwork Contractors.  We have been providing expert landscaping services in the Westchester and Putnam County area for 17 years.

The Challenges of Fall Trimming

Trimming can be especially challenging in fall with a wide range of plants, trees, shrubs, and flowering bushes to work with. Here’s what to look for as you start trimming your landscaping:

Cut Back Perennials- Cutting back perennials can be confusing. Just remember to cut perennials only if they don’t do any of the following:

Add Beauty to Your Garden

Provide Food for Winter Creatures

Benefit Helpful Insects During Winter

Dead Growth- Dead leaves, blooms, or wood on woody plants, trees, and ornamental shrubs should be carefully removed before winter sets in. Trimming these areas in fall and early winter, when temperatures are cooler, will help protect against disease or pests. Remember to:

Deadhead Old Blooms

Trim Dead Limbs

Remove Dead Leaves

Dig Up Dead Annuals

Crossed or Rubbing Limbs- If you see any limbs that are crossed over each other or have been rubbing against each other, remove them. These limbs create fresh wounds on each other where disease can enter. Your trusted landscaper in Westchester County will help you remove the right limbs.

Tidying Up- One of the main reasons many people trim shrubs and trees in fall is to tidy up for winter.

Landwork Contractors has over 18 years of experience in the Westchester and Putnam Counties. Our experts offer all the services you need to turn your fall landscape into a masterpiece.

Tidying Lawns- Before our maintenance teams can begin caring for your lawn and landscaping, they may need to do a little tidying. We’ll carefully remove dead branches and debris that may have collected over the summer months. Our experts will make sure your lawn is ready for fall lawn maintenance.

Aeration- One of the most important things you can do for your lawn is fall aeration. During the summer months, the dry weather and constant traffic pack soil and grass tightly together. Our team of lawncare experts use specialized tools to poke small holes into the soil which allows for more sunlight, nutrients, water, and oxygen to reach the roots. Aeration helps renew and revive your fall lawn but also provides a foundation for a healthy lawn in spring and summer.

Overseeding- Aeration and overseeding go hand in hand to create a strong and healthy lawn. After your lawn has been carefully aerated, the skilled lawncare experts at Landwork Contractors will overseed your lawn, carefully dispersing new seeds over the grass. Combining Aeration and Overseeding gives your lawn the chance to create new and healthier growth before the first freeze.

Leaf Removal- Autumn leaves are lovely to look at but they can really wreck your lawn. Our team will carefully blow away leaves and even offer relocation and removal to completely tidy your lawns.

Professional Mowing Services- Lawns need to be mowed properly during fall. This means cutting the grass to the right length for optimal growth. We will make sure your lawn is beautifully manicured all year long.

Pruning- Fall pruning is an important part of regular lawn and garden maintenance. Watersprouts that have developed in the summer can quickly take over and starve healthy trees. We will carefully cut back new growth and keep your shrubs and trees growing strong.

10 Benefits of Aerating Your Lawn in Fall

Professional Aeration Services in Westchester County Give You a Lawn You’ll Love

One of the best ways to keep a lawn lush and beautiful is Aeration. Landwork Contractors has come up with a quick list of the top ten benefits of aeration to get your lawn in beautiful shape.

What is Aeration?

Aeration is the term for removing pieces of soil and grass in your lawn. Experts carefully remove plugs of compacted grass and soil, creating tiny holes in the ground. This process helps air, water, sunlight, and nourishment to reach down deep into the soil.

Benefits

The benefits of aerations can completely transform a dry and dying lawn. Here are the top ten benefits of aeration according to our experts at Landwork Contractors.

Promotes Stronger Root Growth– After aeration, sunlight, water, and nutrients can better reach the roots of your grass. The result is cushiony grass that is stronger, greener, and more vibrant.

Reduces Harmful Compaction– After months of heavy traffic or dry conditions, your soil can get packed tightly together. Aeration opens up the soil to reduce compaction.

Lowers Lawn Maintenance Needs– Grass that is stronger and healthier will naturally require less maintenance.

Improves Oxygen Levels in the Soil– Aeration creates areas where oxygen can pass through the soil, reaching more roots.

Improves Sunlight Intake – Sunlight gets blocked out by impacted grass. Aerating will increase sunlight levels and create healthier grass.

Encourages New Growth– With all those wonderful nutrients, oxygen, and water, aerated soil is more likely to accept and encourage new growth.

Decreases Run-Off and Pooling/Puddling– Aeration helps the ground soak in the right amount of water instead of having it puddle on the top of the soil. Creating proper drainage also lowers disease and decay in your lawn.

Improves Resistance to Heat and Stress– As the soil soaks in nutrients and water, it is able to stand up to heat and stress better.

Improves the Breakdown of Thatch– A layer of thatch, (dead grass and debris that gathers at the top of soil)  can destroy a lawn. Aeration breaks up the thatch and encourages proper deterioration of leftover thatch.

Reduces Disease– When left alone, thatch creates a perfect environment for disease and decay. Aeration disrupts the accumulation of thatch and helps protect against disease.

If you have questions about aerating your lawn, Landwork Contractors has the answers. Call us today at 914-479-2537, or make an appointment online. Your lawn will be green and gorgeous in no time.
