About Handyman Landscaping Co.

Evening light comes down through the plane trees over the side streets of central Queens, and the small back gardens behind the row houses cool off all at once. Handyman Landscaping Co. keeps those lawns and yards going — mowing, trimming the strip along the driveway, cutting hedges back, hauling out whatever a season leaves behind. Access is half the job in this borough: gates, alleys, stairs down to a yard nobody can drive to, so the work gets done with what can be carried through. Spring cleanups clear the winter grit and the leaves that blew in off the avenue; a late-fall pass takes the last of the maples off the grass. A green square in the middle of the city is worth keeping, and keeping it is the work.
