Landscaping and masonry in White Plains, NY
White Plains is a city with the yards of a suburb. Gedney Farms and the Highlands ask for estate-grade grounds care, downtown boards need buildings that look maintained every week of the year, and most of the city has water coming down at it from somewhere.

Recent work
Gedney Farms, Rosedale and the Highlands
The residential side of White Plains is older and better built than people expect from a city that has a skyline. Gedney Farms runs to early twentieth-century Tudor, Colonial and Mediterranean houses on tree-lined streets, and the Highlands, Rosedale, Battle Hill and North Broadway all carry the same kind of stock: real stone, mature canopy, frontages that were designed rather than filled in.
Grounds care on those properties is a year-round job, not a mowing route. We plan by zone, renovate beds under heavy shade, keep hedges and screening in line, and treat the frontage as the part of the property that has to look right from the street every week.
Stone walls and steps on White Plains slopes
Very little of this city is flat. Streets climb, driveways pitch, and back yards fall away toward whatever is below them, which is why so many properties here already have retaining walls, stone stoops and stepped walks holding the grade in place.
We build and repair that work in stone matched to the house, on compacted bases with drainage designed in from the start. Anything past a modest height, or any wall carrying a driveway above it, needs a permit and engineered drawings in White Plains, and we plan for that before the digging rather than after.
Where the water goes in White Plains
Two rivers run through this city. The Bronx River comes down the western side past the County Center, and the Mamaroneck River crosses the east near Maple Moor. Both have a long local history of coming up during heavy rain, and the Bronx River Parkway closing in a storm is a normal White Plains afternoon.
What that means on a property is simple: everything uphill of you arrives eventually. We fix it from the top down, with grade, downspout extensions and surface paths first, then French drains and dry wells where pipe is genuinely required, and the discharge decided before anyone starts digging.
Co-op, condo and commercial grounds
White Plains is the county seat and a downtown of its own, so a large share of the property here is managed rather than owner-occupied. Boards and managing agents need the entry plantings, walkways, lawns and beds to read as maintained every week, and they need one number to call when they do not.
That is our commercial and HOA grounds work: a written seasonal scope, the same crew on the same schedule, and snow handled by the people who already know the property. It is the kind of contract where consistency matters more than any single visit.
Every job here starts the same way: a twenty-minute walkthrough and a written price.
What affects the price in White Plains
Scope, access and how much water the property has to handle set the number.
Common factors:
- Stone matched to existing masonry on older houses
- Wall height, and whether a wall carries a driveway or slope
- Permit and engineered drawings where the job needs them
- Drainage scope on properties below a ridge
- Access and staging on tight city lots
- Seasonal contract versus one-time work

Common questions
If yours is not here, call (914) 486-3682. Someone answers seven days a week.
Often, yes. White Plains regulates tree removal on private property and requires a building permit with engineered drawings for retaining walls past a modest height or any wall holding back a driveway or slope. Nelson checks what your specific job triggers with the Building Department before the crew is scheduled, so nothing stops halfway through.
Yes, and those streets are a good part of what we do here. The Tudor and Colonial housing stock came with real masonry, mature trees and stone frontages, and new work has to be matched to it rather than dropped beside it.
Usually. White Plains drains into the Bronx River and the Mamaroneck River, and the low, flat parts of town take the water off every ridge above them. We start with grade, downspouts and surface paths, then add French drains or dry wells where pipe is genuinely needed, with the discharge planned before anything is dug.
Yes. Multi-building grounds, entry plantings, walkways and the seasonal contract that keeps them looking maintained all year are regular work for us. One crew, one contact, and a written scope the board can actually read.
The whole city: Gedney Farms, Rosedale, the Highlands, Battle Hill, North Broadway, Prospect Park and downtown. The lot sizes change the approach, not the standard.
It depends on scope, access, how much water the property has to handle and any permit work the job needs. There is no flat rate without seeing it. Nelson walks the property and leaves a written scope and price. The visit is free. Call (914) 486-3682.
