Broccolo Tree & Lawn Care

Broccolo Tree and Lawn Care Inc, was founded in November of 1990. It is a long story that I will sum up for you. You will meet customers who will tell you that they have worked with me more years than Broccolo Tree and Lawn has been in existence. I think it is important that you know the personal history of where and how we started. After my degree in conservation and horticulture from Finger Lakes Community College in 1978, I immediately went to work for Ted Collins. I worked in all phases of the company for 13 years including tree spraying, pruning, RG&E line cleaning, landscaping and some sales.

Let us help perk up your existing garden beds, create new ones for accentuation, and work with your favorite color schemes to create something spectacular! We are experts in native flowers, pollinator friendly plant option. To create a defined line between lawns and garden beds, we use a hand spade or mechanical edging machine. Our mulch is installed 2-3 deep, laid carefully throughout the beds to suppress weeds and retain moisture at the root zone for your landscape plantings. Note too much mulch piled around the trunks and over the shrubs can cause decay.

Our trained technicians inspect your lawn on each visit and provide treatments based on their findings. Our custom Lawn Care is designed to make your lawn green, healthy and environmentally friendly by using products only as needed. By using a method known as "Integrated pest management" (IPM) we combine chemical treatments, cultural practices, and biological controls to manage pests to an acceptable level that will not damage to lawn. Our goal is to monitor pest outbreaks before the populations get out of control.

Broccolo offers a special Goodness Grows program to charities and nonprofits to help with fundraising. We will set up a special weekend for your organization to send friends, family, and supporters to our Garden Center to purchase their plants and gardening supplies. After the weekend is over we give your organization 10% of the total sales generated by your organization. This is a great opportunity for your group to raise money, Broccolo to give back, and your members to support local business.

Container gardens, shade gardens, contemporary or formal- whatever your style, you'll find inspiration and know-how at the Broccolo Garden Center. Perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs and a wide variety of natives are arranged thematically by fragrance, bloom, edibles, sun or shade. Cottage gardens, rain gardens, bird and butterfly gardens are planted in permanent and ever-changing display gardens. The down-to-earth, friendly staff is knowledgeable in design, planting and cultivation for our region.

Many of our annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees are locally grown from our own nursery or from partnerships with certified growers in the Northeast region. Planting designs range from Asian gardens, to formal or naturalized cottage garden styles. We choose plants based on their required environment of sun or shade, and types of soils. Sustainable Landscaping includes reducing high maintenance lawns. We create diverse habitats for pollinators and incorporate rain gardens for storm water management.
