Downing Landscape Service - Arlington's Certified Landscapers

For Arlington properties, our seasonal plans are tailored to the New England climate. In spring, we focus on cleanup, thatching, aeration, and applying a pre-emergent fertilizer to combat local weeds. Summer brings regular mowing, weeding, and shrub trimming. A key fall service is gutter cleaning to prevent ice dams and protect your home, followed by a final cleanup and mulch refresh to prepare beds for winter. This year-round approach addresses local soil conditions and common pests to keep your landscape healthy.

Dead lawn areas in Arlington are often due to compacted soil, improper watering, or disease. We start with a thorough inspection to diagnose the issue. A common local culprit is irrigation timer failure, which leads to underwatering in our summer heat. We can repair or adjust your irrigation system and perform core aeration to relieve soil compaction. Depending on the cause, our solution may include targeted reseeding, soil amendments, and setting up a proper fertilization schedule to restore your lawn's health.
