# About Newington Landscaping Pros

A real Hartford County business. Not a national app, not a storm-chaser. Built on referrals since 2005.

Our Story

## Twenty Years Showing Up

Newington Landscaping Pros started in 2005 with one truck, one mower, and a simple promise: show up when you say you will, send the estimate you said you'd send, and charge the price you quoted.

That promise still runs the business. Twenty years in, almost every new customer comes from a referral: a neighbor, a coworker, a Hartford County homeowner who got a written estimate that actually matched the invoice.

We're licensed in Connecticut. We carry general liability and workers' compensation. We pull permits when permits are required. And we treat every property like our own: debris hauled, beds edged, surfaces blown clean before the crew leaves.

Testimonials

## What Hartford County Customers Say

★★★★★5.0 — Built on word-of-mouth referrals

★★★★★

"We've used them for weekly mowing for three seasons now. Same crew every week, lawn always looks great, and they edge and blow down before they leave. They picked up our fall cleanup last year too — best leaf removal job we've ever had."

John D.

Newington

★★★★★

"Our HOA switched to Newington Landscaping Pros last year after issues with our previous vendor. The scope-of-work document was clear from day one, they send updates after every visit, and snow plowing this winter was rock-solid. Highly recommended for any property manager in Hartford County."

Linda K.

Farmington

★★★★★

"Hired them for a full spring cleanup after years of doing it ourselves. The on-site estimate was clear, the price held, and the crew was thorough — every bed edged, every leaf hauled. We've signed on for weekly maintenance now."

Sarah M.
