About Costello Landscaping

Bristol sits where the Pequabuck bends between the last low ridges of the Litchfield hills, and the ground still keeps its mill-town shape — narrow lots, long slopes, front yards stepping down toward the road. Costello Landscaping works that terrain through the year: mowing and fertilization, dethatching, aerating and overseeding, mulch laid dark against the beds, landscape design and installation, insect and disease control for plants and shrubs, and spring and fall cleanups that strip a yard back to clean lines. Winter turns the work commercial — snow removal on lots that have to be open before the first cars swing in — and lot sweeping carries off the grit once the cold lets go. There is a plain satisfaction in it: an edge cut true along a walk, a hillside lawn thickened where it had thinned, a parking lot dark and passable under a low gray sky. The work ranges out from Bristol through Plainville, Farmington, Southington, Burlington and Terryville, and on toward Torrington, Waterbury and the Litchfield towns.
