Honest, owner-operated lawn care and pressure washing for Lewes — from the historic district to Lewes Beach and the Gills Neck communities.
Lewes wears its history on every street. The First Town in the First State sits where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic, with eighteenth-century homes shaded by old trees in the historic district, cedar-shingled cottages across the drawbridge on Lewes Beach, and newer communities filling in along Gills Neck Road and Kings Highway. It's a town where properties are genuinely loved — and where the coastal weather works against them all year long.
Between the bay, the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal, and Cape Henlopen State Park, nearly every property in Lewes lives with salt air. Add humid summers, sandy soil, and mature tree cover, and you get lawns that dry out fast in July, siding that grows algae on the shady side, and decks that go gray and slick sooner than they should. I see it every week.
Lewes is also a town of two schedules: year-round residents who are home to notice every detail, and second-home owners who might not see the property for a month at a time. Round Robin works comfortably with both.
Most Lewes lawns grow in sandy, fast-draining soil. They green up early in spring, dry out quickly in high summer, and reward steady, consistent mowing far more than the occasional heavy cut. In-town lots off Savannah Road and Second Street tend to be compact, with fences, gardens, and brick walkways that call for careful trimming rather than big equipment. Out along the Gills Neck corridor, the lawns are larger and often irrigated, and they need dependable weekly attention through the growing season. I handle mowing, edging, seasonal cleanups, mulching, and bush and shrub trimming — and if you're a seasonal resident, the schedule keeps running whether you're in town or not.
Salt film is a fact of life this close to the bay. It dulls siding, feeds algae, and gives everything a tired gray cast by mid-season. On vinyl-sided homes in Lewes, the north side almost always shows green first. Cedar shake — and Lewes has plenty of it — needs a gentle soft wash rather than raw pressure, and the same goes for older painted wood in the historic district. I also clean brick and stone walkways, weathered decks, fences, and driveways: the whole outside of the house, washed the way each surface actually needs.
Round Robin covers all of Lewes and the area around it — the historic district and Shipcarpenter Square, Pilottown Road along the canal, and Lewes Beach on the far side of the drawbridge. Along Gills Neck Road, I work in communities like Senators, Governors, Hawkseye, Showfield, and Wolfe Pointe, and closer to Route 1 in Cape Shores and the Villages of Five Points. If your neighborhood isn't named here, don't worry — if it has a Lewes address, I can almost certainly get to it.
Millsboro is about twenty-five minutes from Lewes, so getting here is routine — I'm in town most weeks as it is. Round Robin is a one-person operation, which means the person who quotes your property is the same person who shows up, every time, doing the work the same way each visit. There's no rotating crew and no wondering who's coming this week. That consistency matters in a town like Lewes, where so many properties are either historic, high-value, or both — you want someone who knows your yard's quirks, remembers where the irrigation heads are, and treats the place the same way in October as in June. Every job starts with a free, no-pressure quote, and I'd rather tell you honestly what your property needs than sell you something it doesn't.
Yes — that's a big part of what I do in Lewes. Plenty of my customers here spend part of the year somewhere else, and the arrangement is simple: the lawn gets cut on schedule, the walkways stay clean, and if I ever spot something that needs your attention — a downed limb, a failing fence board, algae creeping up the siding — you hear about it from me before it becomes a problem. You shouldn't have to wonder what your house looks like right now.
