City-Scape Landscaping, a family-run operation based in Queens, installs 120 fir trees shipped from Nova Scotia along Park Avenue for almost 50 blocks.

NEW YORK – The prestigious Park Avenue neighborhood has a small business to thank for bringing holiday cheer to its streets year after year.

Park Avenue has been a key part of the company's business since 1972, City-Scape's owners said, helping pay salaries and keep families fed. A half-century later, City-Scape is keeping the business in the family. After becoming a co-owner earlier this year, 26-year-old Dylan is taking over the operation in the wake of his father's recent passing.

"It's definitely something to be proud of," Sofield said. "I see my work all over the place, TV, Instagram. I will be scrolling and think, 'Oh, there's my tulips,' or 'There's my lawn.'"For most of the year, City-Scape tends to the malls every Monday ahead of high traffic weekdays. Crews weed, mow the lawns and hedges, remove debris, water the plants and repair damaged wood barriers.

"It's people's front yard, front gardens along Park Avenue," said the group's president, Barbara McLaughlin. "So everyone who's lucky enough to live on Park Avenue really enjoys it every day, but also, it's a wonderful place to walk and it's enjoyed by a lot of people."
