Landscaping Design & Planting Services in Newburgh & the Hudson Valley
From full yard transformations to targeted plantings and garden beds, Bernicker & Son Landscaping creates outdoor spaces that look great year-round and are built for the Hudson Valley climate.
Landscape Design & Planning
Good landscaping starts with a plan. We walk your property, talk about how you use your yard, and put together a design that works with your home's architecture, the existing grade, and the sun and shade patterns on your lot. Every plan factors in Orange County's soil conditions and the plants that actually thrive here.
Whether you are starting from a bare lot on a new build or reworking an overgrown yard, we handle the full scope: layout, plant selection, grading, drainage considerations, and coordination with any hardscaping work happening at the same time.
- On-site consultation and property walkthrough
- Plant selection for Hudson Valley climate zones
- Coordinated with grading, drainage, and hardscaping
Trees, Shrubs & Perennials
We source nursery-quality trees, shrubs, and perennials and plant them properly so they establish fast and grow strong. Root balls are set at the right depth, backfilled with amended soil, and mulched to retain moisture. We select species that handle the Hudson Valley's cold winters and hot summers without constant attention.
Plantings can be part of a larger landscape project or a standalone upgrade. Many homeowners in Newburgh and Orange County bring us in to replace overgrown foundation shrubs, add privacy screening, or install shade trees. We also plant native species that support pollinators and require less watering once established.
- Nursery-quality stock with proper root preparation
- Native and low-maintenance species available
- Privacy screening and foundation planting
New Yard Installs — Sod & Hydroseeding
New construction, renovations, and worn-out lawns all benefit from a fresh start. We prepare the ground with proper grading and topsoil, then install sod for instant results or hydroseed for larger areas at a lower cost. Both methods give you a healthy, established lawn faster than traditional seeding.
Grading is the key step most people skip. Without correct slope and soil prep, new sod fails and seed washes away. We grade every yard to direct water away from the foundation and toward proper drainage before any grass goes down.
- Full grading and topsoil preparation
- Sod for instant lawn or hydroseed for large areas
- Post-install watering and care guidance
Garden Beds, Borders & Mulch
Clean, well-defined garden beds are what separate a maintained property from a neglected one. We build new beds, reshape existing ones, install edging, and mulch everything to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Beds are designed to frame your home and direct the eye toward your best features.
We offer a range of mulch types including hardwood, cedar, and dyed options. All beds get a fresh layer of mulch after planting, and we can set up seasonal mulch refreshes as part of a maintenance plan.
- Bed creation, reshaping, and clean edging
- Hardwood, cedar, and colored mulch options
- Weed barrier installation for long-term control
Front Yard & Curb Appeal Upgrades
The front of your home is the first thing visitors, neighbors, and potential buyers see. We design front yard landscapes that boost curb appeal and add real property value. Projects typically include foundation plantings, a refreshed walkway, clean bed edges, and strategic accent lighting placement.
Many of our Newburgh and Orange County clients combine front yard landscaping with a new paver walkway or steps for a complete transformation. We match the style to your home and keep maintenance requirements realistic for your schedule.
- Foundation plantings and accent landscaping
- Increases property value and first impressions
- Coordinated with walkways and lighting
