Lawn care and tick control built for Scarsdale yards

Scarsdale’s neighborhoods, from Fox Meadow and Greenacres to Heathcote and Quaker Ridge, are defined by their trees. Century-old maples and oaks line the streets and cover most lawns for a good part of the day.

That canopy, plus the compacted clay under it and the deer that travel the Bronx River Parkway and Weinberg Nature Center corridors, is why a Scarsdale lawn needs a different plan than a sunny suburban lot.

Lawn Care

Lawn care in Scarsdale

Shade management is the whole game in Scarsdale.

  • Shade-tolerant fine fescue and tall fescue blends overseeded each fall after core aeration.
  • Crabgrass pre-emergent in early spring for the sunny street-side strips where it takes hold first.
  • Lime and soil amendments where oak leaf litter has pushed the pH down over the years.

Scarsdale FAQs

Questions we hear from Scarsdale homeowners

Often yes, with the right seed and expectations. Fine fescues tolerate deep shade better than any other cool-season grass, and aerating first gives seed the soil contact it needs. Under the very densest canopy, a mulched bed is sometimes the honest answer, and we will tell you which is which.

Every three to four weeks from early spring through fall on a seasonal program. The wooded edges and hedgerows typical of Scarsdale lots are the focus of each visit.

Applications follow EPA label directions and we ask that people and pets stay off treated areas until dry, usually one to two hours. Re-entry instructions are left after every visit.
