A Beautiful Corner Lot in Buffalo

For this project, we transformed the look of the neighborhood with just one property. After removing the old hedge that used to wrap around the entire yard, we created a beautiful garden with low maintenance shrubs, recycled vines, and a nifty new sod lawn area. We even included a small fenced area to conceal the garbage cans without taking away from the look of the lot. The different colors and textures of the sod lawn, stone gardens, and mulch make this garden really stand out! Do you have a corner lot that needs an update? Mongoose knows what to do!

What's burried under there?

After another long, Buffalo winter, cleaning up the garden really can bring spring to your home! With an invasive weed tormenting this Buffalo garden, our crew dug deep to remove the roots and give this beautiful garden design a chance to impress. If you have an invasive weed problem, persistence is the only answer. When you attack weeds by the roots early in the season, and top the garden with hardwood mulch, your gardens are protected and new weeds are more manageable. Call Mongoose for your tough weed problems!

A Dynamic Transformation

In our most ambitious project this season, our crew carved into the hillside to create a gorgeous patio and retaining wall for a family in East Aurora. With the extensive rainfalls we experienced this summer, these customer found their basement more dry than ever following our comprehensive drainage installation. These customers will be enjoying this patio year round, and the 650 square foot patio will be a real hit for family reunions and parties!

Stumped For A Clever Solution

After losing a beautiful old-growth elm tree, these customers wanted a creative solution to incorporate the leftover tree stump into their gardens. Not only did our crew level the stump and painstakingly carved the hole for the plantings, but we also incorporated a planting scheme which will have cascading ground-covers floating over the edge of the stump. Need a creative solution??? Think Mongoose.

That yard is not suitable for toddlers

The new owners of this home on Auburn St. in Buffalo, the proud parents of their first child, realized that kids need a safe place to play. I'd say that a fresh sod lawn beats pricker bushes any day!

Trashy to Classy

After years of debating, this customer finally decided to clean-up the area where she kept her trash cans. Now, she entertains on a new flagstone patio, and her neighbors have a much nicer view!

More Before and Afters

This beautiful Mansion on Summer St. in Buffalo finally was planted with perennial flowers, trees, and shrubs. Amazing how colorful plantings can complete the look!

Simple is Better

BEFORE:

This project had our team clear the slate and update the landscaping to fit our customer's home. The overgrown shrubs in front of the home had effectively blocked the home from view and distracted passersby from admiring this house and its classic Buffalo architecture.


AFTER:

The change? Add a beautiful birch tree and a few modest shrubs with a new sod lawn and transform the look in 2 days! What a great way to add an impressive look for your home.

These creative homeowner will be adding window boxes, adding yet another dimension to their custom landscape.

Clean-up Fund-raiser Sponsored by Mongoose Landscaping

Our latest customer won a spring clean-up as part of a fund-raiser for the Park School in Williamsville. We are very proud to support education in our community, as our Director of Operations is a NYS Certified teacher in both Elementary and Special education.

In this job, our crew was able to clear the canvas of leaves and other debris without losing the feeling of a wild garden set amongst the forest. Why spring clean when nature will do it for you??? Well, nature will get around to breaking down those leaves and twigs eventually, but in the meantime, by clearing the canvas, you make it easier for wild flowers, groundcovers and even tree seedlings to take root and flourish. Got a spring clean-up need? Call the guys at Mongoose!

Spring is Springing...Finally

Who doesn't miss snow and ice storms? We don't!!! With Western New York's spring season finally coming into bloom, it is a great time to get those rakes, blowers and clippers out to get a jump on your gardens and lawn. Did you know that early spring - like right now - is a great time to clean up those stubborn leaves which were left behind in your shrubs and groundcovers? It's also much easier to give a light roto-tilling to larger garden beds before the perennials poke up through the soil. This results in a richer soil base for the summer perennials to flourish in while giving your gardens the fresh look of aerated mulch. Do it yourself or call us for a free quote anytime.

Stay tuned for the after pic!!!

Serious Fun

I took this picture with my phone the other morning... that is Matt Agnello in the Bobcat cleaning up the driveway after the somewhat over-hyped storm this weekend.

When there is a lot of snow.. cruising around, sitting in the Bobcat's heated cab... is just awesome. This is a job we all fight to get!
