Landscaping Service Questions Answered

What Adams County Homeowners Ask Us Most

  • What areas does Proscapes serve in Adams County?

    Proscapes serves homeowners and local businesses throughout Adams County, Pennsylvania. Our service area includes Gettysburg, Biglerville, Arendtsville, Orrtanna, Fairfield, Bendersville, Cashtown, and Aspers. If you are in or near any of these communities and need professional lawn care or landscaping, we would be glad to set up a face-to-face consultation to walk your property and talk through what you need.

  • Do you offer lawn treatments like fertilizer or weed control chemicals?

    We do not apply chemical lawn treatments directly. Instead, we work with trusted, licensed specialists who handle those applications on your behalf. The benefit to you is simple: one bill to pay each month, and a single point of contact for your entire property. We coordinate the scheduling and communication so you do not have to manage multiple contractors. It is a straightforward way to get comprehensive care without the hassle.

  • How does the process work when I first contact Proscapes?

    Every new client relationship starts with a face-to-face meeting on your property. Larry Zimmerman comes out in person to walk the space with you, understand your goals, and give you an honest assessment of what your lawn and landscape need. This is not a satellite quote from a screen; it is a real conversation with the owner. Once we are underway, Larry prefers to keep communication quick and easy through text messaging so you always have a direct line without the back-and-forth of phone tag.

  • What lawn renovation services do you provide in the fall?

    Fall is one of the most important seasons for lawn health in Adams County, where soil compaction is a common challenge. We offer overseeding and aeration to open up the soil and encourage thick, healthy grass growth. We also provide topdress compost applications, which add organic matter back into the lawn and support root development over the winter months. Scheduling these services in the fall gives your lawn the best foundation heading into spring.

  • What is included in your mulching service?

    Our mulching service goes beyond simply dropping material in your beds. Before any mulch goes down, we pull weeds and create clean, defined edges along your garden borders. This gives your property a sharp, finished look that holds up through the season. We use quality mulch and take the time to do the prep work right, because a proper installation lasts longer and keeps weed pressure down between maintenance visits.

  • What kinds of hardscaping projects does Proscapes handle?

    We design and install a range of hardscape features for residential properties across Adams County. This includes patios, walkways, retaining walls, sitting walls, and outdoor fireplaces. Whether you are looking to add a functional patio space for entertaining or a retaining wall to manage a sloped yard, we handle the full project from design through installation. Every project starts with an on-site consultation so we can plan something that fits your property and your goals.

  • What are Enviro Bricks, and where can I get them?

    Enviro Bricks are compressed hardwood sawdust bricks that burn cleaner and hotter than traditional firewood. One ton of Enviro Bricks burns longer than a full cord of wood and takes up only about two-thirds of the storage space, making them a practical choice for homeowners with limited storage. Proscapes carries them as part of our product offerings, giving Adams County residents a reliable local source for an efficient, low-mess heating option during the winter months.

  • How long has Proscapes been serving the Gettysburg area?

    Proscapes is a family-owned business run by Larry and Harvey Zimmerman. Larry has been working in the landscaping industry since 2011, now in his 16th season, and has owned Proscapes since 2016. In January 2025, Proscapes also acquired ASK Outdoor Maintenance and Design, bringing additional expertise and capacity to the team. That history in Adams County means we know the local soil, the seasonal patterns, and the neighborhoods we work in, which directly benefits every client we serve.
