Services
Lawn Care Program
Our comprehensive lawn care program includes five seasonal treatments from spring feeding with crabgrass preventer to fall lime application. We combine pest control, fertilization, and pH adjustment to promote healthy grass growth while reducing thatch buildup through mechanical de-thatching and core aeration services that improve soil health and root structure.
Snow Removal
We provide complete winter property maintenance using commercial equipment including plow trucks, skidsteers, and snow blowers. Our de-icing services ensure safe walkways and parking areas while specialized deer repellent programs protect ornamental plantings from winter browsing damage across residential and commercial properties.
Tick Control
Our three-stage tick control program targets nymph and adult ticks through seasonal spraying. Spring applications address high-risk bite periods, summer treatments manage re-infestation, and fall sprays target breeding populations. This systematic approach significantly reduces tick presence while maintaining environmental safety for families and pets.
Property Maintenance
We offer customized maintenance plans for diverse properties including condominium complexes and athletic fields. Services range from bi-weekly mowing and striping to irrigation management and turf renovation. Our team handles seasonal cleanup, bed maintenance, and specialized treatments to maintain optimal landscape appearance year-round.
Athletic Field Management
Our athletic field services include bi-weekly mowing, infield maintenance, and irrigation management. We implement fertilization programs, pest control, and turf renovation techniques like sodding and overseeding. The comprehensive approach maintains safe, functional playing surfaces while addressing specific requirements for high school and community sports facilities.

Oak Hills Landscaping handles all the maintenance of my property and it has never looked better! Attention to detail during the "big" spring and fall clean ups is most particularly appreciated. Just as things are waking from winter and the muddy thaw the sprucing and cleaning sets the bar for an awesome spring bloom and summer growing season. And as the growing comes to an end and everything begins falling down and and falling apart the clean up and prep puts things to bed to ensure a good spring awakening. They are there every week as expected for the weekly maintenance and even arrange to cover

Oak Hills has been doing our winter plowing and managing our regular lawn care, spring preparation and fall clean up for quite a few years. We have a difficult property for these tasks as the driveway is exceedingly steep as are most of the lawns and beds. We have found Ryan and his Oak Hills team to be reliable, resourceful, knowledgeable, cooperative and helpful. In years when there were back to back snow storms, we never had to worry about being able to get out in time for whatever was necessary. When we had a bad case of an invasive vine, Oak Hills got rid it and keeps it that way. We are happy

Oak Hills Landscaping is an outstanding firm. Ryan has been helping us maintain and enhance our property in Milton for over ten years, as well as plowing our long drive during winter storms. As the business has grown, he, Megan (his forewoman), and their crew have nonetheless remained responsive and attentive to detail, even to us, one of their smaller accounts. My texts/calls are answered promptly, work is done thoroughly and in a timely manner. I can't say enough about how easy it is to work with Oak Hills, the caliber of their work, their patience (I sometimes dither!) and professionalism. Recommend

Ryan and his team do a great job in all aspects of lawn care. You won't find a more professional, hard working crew than Oak Hills. I highly recommend them to any home owner in Litchfield County.
