Lawn care and tick control built for Pound Ridge yards

Pound Ridge is the most wooded town in Westchester. Homes sit on rocky, glacial terrain surrounded by the 4,300-acre Ward Pound Ridge Reservation and private forest, and open sunny lawn is the exception.

That means shallow soil over ledge, shade most of the day, heavy leaf fall, and deer tick pressure as high as anywhere in New York. Our programs here are honest about what grass can do and serious about where ticks live.

Lawn Care

Lawn care in Pound Ridge

A Pound Ridge lawn is usually a well-kept clearing, and keeping it green is about soil depth and light.

  • Fine fescue blends overseeded each fall for the deep shade and thin, acidic soil.
  • Lime and organic-matter recommendations based on soil tests, since ledge lots run acidic.
  • Fertilization timed for spring and fall growth windows when the canopy is thinner.

Tick & Pest Control

Tick and mosquito control in Pound Ridge

Ticks here are not a possibility, they are a certainty, and the barrier program is the core service for most Pound Ridge homes.

  • Treatments along the entire lawn-to-woods edge, stone walls, and the leaf litter under shrubs.

  • Season-long coverage from March or April through November.

Pound Ridge FAQs

Questions we hear from Pound Ridge homeowners

A well-placed barrier program reduces the ticks that reach the lawn and beds where your family spends time. It does not empty the woods, so we pair treatment with practical advice on leaf litter, brush, and where to keep play areas.

Where there is at least a few inches of soil and some filtered light, yes, with fine fescue and fall overseeding after aeration. Where there is neither, we will suggest ground cover or mulch instead of selling you seed.

Yes. All of Pound Ridge is on our northern Westchester route, including properties off Long Ridge Road and Trinity Pass.
