Goshen is the county seat and the home of harness racing, and it looks the part: a compact village of older homes ringed by horse farms, rolling pasture, and the Wallkill River lowlands.
Village lawns are modest and shaded by street trees. Outside the village, yards border pasture and hedgerow, where deer, ticks, and blowing weed seed are part of the landscape.
Pest Control
Hedgerows and pasture edges around Goshen carry deer, and the river lowlands breed mosquitoes.

Goshen FAQsYes. The Wallkill River lowlands and farm ponds around Goshen breed mosquitoes that settle into shaded yards by June. Our mosquito barrier treatments target the shaded vegetation where adults rest, every three to four weeks from late May through September, and a single pre-event treatment is available before a backyard gathering.
Pricing is by treated area and the level of protection you choose, so a Goshen quote follows a free walk-through of the property. Most homeowners pick a seasonal program with visits every three to four weeks; single treatments are available. There are no contracts.
A Goshen lawn gets four to five feedings a year. The Hudson Valley season starts later and ends sooner, so the first feeding and crabgrass pre-emergent go down in mid to late April, late spring brings the second feeding, summer gets a slow-release feeding, and fall aeration, overseeding, and the final winterizer run from September into early November. We set the exact dates from soil temperature, not the calendar, and every visit ends with a service note.
Yes. We treat the residential yard and its edges, keep buffers from paddocks and water, and time visits around turnout.
Mature maples take the light and water. Fall aeration and overseeding with fine fescue, plus a higher mowing height in the shaded strip, make the most of what is there.
Every three to four weeks from spring through fall on a seasonal program, concentrated on the edges where deer enter the property.
