"Scott first came to my property and walked me through what needed to be done to help with my lawn issues and what I could do to prevent in the future. He clearly laid it all out for me and came back another day to apply once I decided which treatments I wanted. He was very professional and explained why certain things should be done (and also areas where I could save money and not do anything at this time).

"I called Gerard as I was just done with trying to do it myself. Adjusting the sprinkler heads, fixing leaks, broken valves. So I asked him when he gets a chance just come over and just go over everything. Now I got extremely lucky because he was actually in the neighborhood at the time and was at my door in 10 minutes. Let me start with when his Nhan pulled up the first words out of their mouth. How are you, sir. Immediately showed respect. After that, these two guys worked every single sprinkle ahead, changing them, fixing them adjusting them and then giving me suggestions on how to use the system correctly. What time to turn the system on and off. I could not have been happier with the service that they gave me. Five stars for Gerard and his men. Thank you and you made a customer for life."

"We had a bad tick problem at our house in Montauk, so, 5 years ago I contacted Alternative Earthcare to spray the property 5 times each year. And, over the past 5 years, we have been enjoying the yards, and have not had a single tick bite. They do a great job."

"This is a truly professional company that knows their work inside out. The work was completed in one day by skilled workers and the lawn was handled with great care. If it was surgery, I’d call it minimally invasive. The lawn looks great."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to go too far trimming your bushes or hedges. If you overdo it, you may kill the plant. Stick to trimming about a third of the branches on your bush each season to prevent over-cutting. If your hedge is overgrown and needs a heavy trim, avoid cutting off the main branches that make up the top of the bush.

You can choose between weekly leaf removal services throughout the fall or a single cleanup at the end of the season. If you want to maintain a pristine lawn, weekly service is a good idea to keep up with falling leaves. Alternatively, if you prioritize saving money, you can wait until all or most of the trees on your property are bare and pay for a one-time service. In most areas, this is typically in early to mid-November. While a single service is more budget-friendly, your yard will not remain leaf-free for the entire season.

Dead trees are dangerous for several reasons. They are structurally compromised and prone to branch or trunk failure, which can pose a significant safety risk to people, vehicles, and nearby structures. Dead trees can also harbor pests like termites, which may spread to other trees or your home. If a tree died from a disease, it could spread the illness to healthy trees. Additionally, the dry wood is highly flammable, increasing fire risk.

Skunks like to forage for grubs in the soil, like worms and insects, but they are also tempted by trash and pet food bowls, so keeping these items out of sight may help keep skunks away. Skunks also like to set up a den in dark places, such as a crawl space or outbuilding.

It may sound icky, but yes, urine encourages microbial activity that breaks down organic matter faster. It’s rich in nitrogen, which helps balance carbon-heavy materials like dry leaves or straw. Use sparingly and apply it to a well-balanced pile, not one already high in nitrogen.
