Landscaping in Ithaca, NY | VP Designs Lawn & Landscape

Ithaca

Built, then kept up.

VP Designs Lawn & Landscape is based in Ithaca. We build retaining walls and stonework, design and install landscapes, edge and mulch beds, and keep properties mowed, cleaned up and plowed through the year. Most of our customers use us for both the building and the upkeep.

Call, text or send the form. We come out, walk the property and give you a number. There is no charge for the visit and no obligation afterwards.

Local conditions

Hills, gorges and real winters

Ithaca sits at the south end of Cayuga Lake, and the city climbs steeply up East, South and West Hill. Sloped yards are the norm, which is why retaining walls matter so much here. Most failing walls have a drainage problem behind them rather than a stone problem, so a wall that lasts starts with what happens to the water.

Winters bring snow and a long freeze and thaw season that heaves anything built without a proper base. Spring then comes on fast. A cleanup that clears the winter debris, cuts back the beds and sets fresh edges is what gets a property ready for the first mow.
