About Custom Grounds Landscaping

Custom Grounds Landscaping works the clock-town ground of Bristol, Connecticut — the long yards off Mines Road, the lots that tilt toward the Pequabuck, the ridge lawns where the light comes late over the hills and leaves early. Their week is mowing and trimming and pruning, mulch laid dark against the beds, aeration and overseeding and fertilizer put down so a lawn thickens instead of merely surviving, weed and crabgrass control, grub and insect treatments, and the spring and fall cleanups that bracket the whole green season. There is a real pleasure in a landscape design that finally sits right on its slope, in the moment a rake pulls back and the edge stands up clean. Winter turns the work to snow removal — a drive opened before the first car needs it, before Bristol has stirred — and December brings Christmas trees out of the Red Shed. Bristol and its surrounding towns get the same thing all year: ground that looks tended, and holds.
