Hollenbeck Landscaping - Ithaca's Experienced Landscapers

A thoughtful landscape design is your first defense against weeds. At Hollenbeck Landscaping, we focus on creating dense, healthy plantings using native and adaptive species that naturally outcompete weeds for sunlight and nutrients. Our greenscape design services include proper soil preparation and strategic mulching, which smothers weed seeds and retains moisture. By building a robust, layered landscape from the start, we help your yard thrive while significantly reducing the time and effort you spend on weed control.

Absolutely. In Ithaca's climate, managing water is key. Our smart irrigation design services do more than just water plants; they help manage runoff. We design systems with proper zoning and drainage considerations to direct water away from your home's foundation and sensitive planting areas, reducing erosion and the accumulation of debris after heavy rains. This proactive approach protects your investment and keeps your landscape cleaner and healthier following our frequent storms.

Our landscaping building design involves constructing the hardscape and structural elements of your yard, like patios, retaining walls, and drainage systems. For Ithaca homes, we prioritize durability and functionality. We use materials and techniques that can withstand freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain. A well-built patio or properly graded area with integrated drainage channels makes post-storm cleanup much easier by preventing mud and debris from washing onto surfaces and by containing mulch and gravel where it belongs.
