A Problem That Won’t Go Away

Nursery owners and homeowners share one common problem when it comes to landscape damage: DEER. Fairfield County and Westchester County have some of the highest-density deer populations in the United States, and every year these animals cause more than $1 billion in residential property damage.

Throughout the season, deer damage on private and commercial properties is not only an aesthetic concern, but moreover, a public health risk as Lyme Disease threatens our region. The reduction in hunting and natural predators and the growth of suburban areas are factors contributing to the population explosion. As forested areas diminish, deer begin to feed on landscape material, better known as your beautiful planting beds or well-manicured shrubs.
