Landscaping and masonry in Yorktown, NY
Yorktown is bigger than Manhattan and none of it is flat the same way twice. From Yorktown Heights to the lake hamlets, we handle the hillside lots, the rocky soil and the seasons that come with them.

Five hamlets, five kinds of yard
Yorktown Heights, Jefferson Valley, Mohegan Lake, Shrub Oak and Crompond are all one town on paper and five different jobs in practice. The Heights is commuter yards and established plantings. The lake hamlets are compact lots where drainage and privacy do the heavy lifting. Out toward Crompond the parcels stretch and the field-edge work begins.
We route Yorktown weekly from Mount Kisco and plan each property for its hamlet, not from a template.
Retaining walls on hillside lots
Most of Yorktown sits on hills over rocky soil, and half the backyards here are waiting for a wall to make them usable. We build segmental and natural-stone walls with drainage behind the face and footings below frost, then connect the levels with steps that get used instead of avoided.
Rock near the surface changes method, not outcome. We probe at the walkthrough so the price already knows what is down there.
Lakeside yards at Mohegan Lake and Shrub Oak
The lake hamlets have their own ground rules. Shrub Oak sits on a rare pocket of sandy glacial soil that drains fast and dries faster, while most of the surrounding hills hold water over rock. Two yards a mile apart can need opposite lawn and drainage plans.
Near the water, what leaves your lot matters more, so we favor surface drainage and planting that holds the grade.
Trees, wetlands and the town's permits
Yorktown requires permits for tree removal and runs a combined stormwater, wetland and tree review for work that disturbs regulated ground. Plenty of drainage and wall projects brush against those rules.
We plan around them and tell you at the walkthrough if a project needs review before the crew is scheduled. That conversation is free; discovering it mid-job is not.
Every job here starts the same way: a twenty-minute walkthrough and a written price.
Year-round programs for commuter properties
Most Yorktown accounts run the full calendar: weekly lawn care through the season, spring and fall cleanups, gutters under the hardwoods, then plowing and de-icing when it turns. One crew, one number, and Nelson picks up.
Fall books by early October and snow by November. Both fill.
What affects the price in Yorktown
Slope, rock and water set the number more than lot size does.
Common factors:
- Wall height and the drainage behind it
- Rock found at probing
- Tree, wetland or stormwater review
- Sandy versus rocky soil lawn programs
- Lakeside discharge planning
- 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. The town runs a tree permit process and a combined review for work touching wetlands or regulated stormwater. Nelson flags what applies at the walkthrough so nothing is cut or dug that should not be.
Yes. That is the standard Yorktown job: a wall to hold the grade, a terrace cut or built up to level, steps to connect it, and drainage designed in from the start. We probe for rock before pricing.
Yes, along with Yorktown Heights, Jefferson Valley and Crompond. The lake hamlets get their own approach because the soils and the closeness to water change the plan.
Uphill first. Grade, downspouts and surface paths fix more yards than pipe does. Where a French drain or dry well is needed, we build it deep enough to work and discharge it somewhere sensible and legal.
It depends on slope, rock, water and scope. A flat quarter-acre and a hillside quarter-acre are different jobs. Nelson walks the property and leaves a written scope and price. The visit is free. Call (914) 486-3682.
