Landscapes are living entities, always changing.
To preserve their original design intent, they need continuous nurturing and care.

Four Seasons of Property Care in Fairfield County, Connecticut

For over 30 years, Freddy Co. has cared for many of the finest properties in Fairfield and Westchester counties. Led by a crew foreman, our property care teams are well schooled in the science and art of property care. Each person is trained, background checked, and respectful of our customers and properties.

With our attention to every little detail, your property is maintained at the highest level of care. And because we do it all, you don’t have to waste time worrying if something got done or tracking down multiple service companies.

For each property, we create a custom care plan based on needs and budget.

Freddy & Co. offers organic property care

When homeowners ask us about organic landscape care, they are really asking us how we eliminate or replace the use of synthetic chemicals in lawn and shrub care.

And here’s what we tell them: “To reduce the need for chemicals, the number-one thing we do is to stay ahead of problems.” This requires that a great deal of knowledge and skill is brought to the lawn and plant care. If planted correctly, in the right place, with the right soil, light, water, nutrients, and expert pruning, most plants do well without chemical intervention. 

It is when something is overlooked or done incorrectly that plants become stressed and vulnerable to disease and pests. If that happens, we use a variety of treatments, many without synthetic chemicals, to reduce chemical toxicity.

By observing, thinking and acting, we stay ahead of problems.
