Second-home property care
Your property, cared for while you’re away
Most of our clients split their time between Litchfield County and the city, or somewhere else entirely. We keep their gardens, lawns and grounds on a steady weekly schedule, so the property is always ready when they arrive.
- Family-owned
- Insured

One less thing to worry about
When you’re only at a property on weekends or for part of the year, it’s hard to keep up with a garden. Beds fill with weeds, lawns get away from you, and arriving to a to-do list is no way to start a weekend.
With Magnolia New Garden, one dependable, family-owned crew takes care of it every week. We get to know your property and your preferences, and you can reach us easily by text or email.
- Weekly or biweekly visits on a regular schedule
- Garden care: weeding, deadheading, watering, seasonal plantings
- Lawn mowing and crisp bed edges
- Hedge trimming and shrub care
- Spring and fall cleanups
- Snow removal for winter visits
- Easy communication by text or email

Questions
Second-home care FAQ
Do I need to be there for the estimate?
It helps to walk the property together, but it isn’t required. If you’re away, we can visit on our own and go over the details with you by text, phone or email.
How do we stay in touch while I’m away?
Text or email, whichever you prefer. Let us know about anything you’d like us to keep an eye on, and we’ll reach out if something needs your attention.
Can you have the property ready before I arrive for the season?
Yes. A spring cleanup, fresh mulch and seasonal plantings before you arrive are some of the most popular requests from our second-home clients.
What about winter?
We offer snow plowing, shoveling, salting and sanding, so your driveway and walks can be cleared for winter visits.
