For patchy lawn grass, we address underlying issues like drainage or soil quality, then install new sod or seed, and follow up with our lawn fertilizing and weed control services.

How does your snow removal service work during Ithaca winters?

Our snow removal service in Ithaca includes plowing, cindering, and applying ice melt products to ensure safe driveways and walkways. We schedule regular visits during snow events, with priority for commercial properties and emergency access. As a company led by a Professional Engineer, we plan efficiently to handle Ithaca's heavy snowfall, using proper equipment and materials like salt and cinders to prevent ice buildup. We also offer seasonal contracts for reliable coverage throughout the winter.

With John Carson's engineering background and NY Professional Engineering license since 1997, we ensure installations meet local codes and environmental standards.
