A bit about Sean and his Team...

Sean’s Lawn N’ Garden Services, LLC was founded in 2007 by Upper Valley native Sean Norton.  Sean loves to work and be outdoors, whether landscaping a client’s property or teaching Snowsports at the Dartmouth Skiway.

Longstanding clients may recall Sean arriving in his first landscaping truck, trailering his first riding mower.  Sean would do their job only one way: the right way.  In over a decade in business, Sean’s business philosophy is unchanged:

“I’ll do your job right.  You have my word.”   

A rigorous academic and practical landscape education is part of “doing it right”. Sean holds a Landscape Contracting Degree from the University of Massachusetts’ Stockbridge School, one of the top landscape schools in the country.  After college, Sean gained hands-on experience working full time for one of the largest Upper Valley landscape businesses as well as a fine gardening company. He honed his commitment to top quality work and top-notch customer service. He experienced first hand the strong work ethic of local crews. After work and on weekends, he tended his own clients’ lawns and gardens.

In 2014, Sean took his growing business full time.  Today, Sean’s Lawn N’ Garden Services offers landscaping, property maintenance and fine gardening services primarily in these Upper Valley communities:  Hanover, Lyme, Orford, Norwich, Thetford, Fairlee, Bradford and Piermont. Sean's Upper Valley crew share his commitment to doing your job right.

That first mower and truck are long gone. Today, top quality, professional mowing and landscape equipment include Exmark and John Deere mowers suited to varying Upper Valley terrain and sizable properties, plus a New Holland tractor and other gear.  White trucks feature the deep green company logo. Sean and his staff wear bright green shirts.

In winter, you will find Sean (and most of his landscape crew) at the Dartmouth Skiway, where he is the Snowsports School Director.  You’ll find his crew running the lifts, teaching snowsports or enjoying a run down Howie Chivers or Worden’s Schuss.

Keeping the Team local!

Erin:   Hello! My name is Erin and I am thrilled to have joined the SLAGS team. An Upper Valley native, I enjoy all the best of a New England summer: swimming, hiking and camping. After a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail last year, I knew I needed to have my hands in the dirt and be under open skies again. I am thankful for all of the beautiful gardens and homes I have tended so far and look forward to growing in this field (pun intended)!
