Thoughtfully Selected Plants for Lasting Landscape Success

Choosing the right plants for your landscape isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about understanding what grows well in Hunterdon County’s soil conditions, seasonal extremes, and deer populations. We specialize in designing and installing softscapes that look beautiful at planting and mature into resilient, low-maintenance landscapes. Whether you’re looking to add seasonal color around your Flemington home, establish privacy screening in Raritan Township, or refresh tired foundation beds in Readington Township, our plantings are selected with your property’s unique conditions in mind. Where mature branches affect light or clearance around nearby beds, our Tree Trimming & Pruning service can be coordinated with the broader landscape plan.

Our Plantings & Softscapes Process

Every successful planting starts with site evaluation. We assess sunlight exposure, drainage patterns, existing soil quality, and your maintenance preferences before recommending any plant material. Our installations include proper soil preparation, strategic placement for mature growth, and initial mulching to support establishment. We work with a curated selection of plants proven to perform well in our area, deer-resistant varieties like skip laurel, boxwood, and ornamental grasses; shade-tolerant options for north-facing beds; and seasonal interest plants that deliver color from spring through fall. For larger projects, we incorporate 2D and 3D renderings so you can visualize the finished landscape before any digging begins.

Deer pressure in Hunterdon County means plant selection matters more than ever, one wrong choice and your investment becomes a buffet.

Our Plant Guarantee, and How We Help You Choose

Plants are the decision most customers get stuck on. Nearly everyone knows what they do not want — no yellow, nothing that draws bees, nothing that turns red in the fall — but very few people can name the plants that fit. That is our job. We will send photos and options, and when it helps, we arrange a visit to a local nursery we work with so you can walk the rows, see plants at full size, and tag the ones you love. We pick them up and plant them.

A one-year guarantee, stated plainly

When we supply and install the plants, we guarantee them for one year — and the conditions come in writing with the estimate, not discovered later. Plants need to be watered, and a plant lost to drought neglect or deer browsing is not a warranty claim. We would rather say that up front than argue about it in July. To make watering nearly automatic, every full installation includes soaker hose run through the beds: connect a garden hose, run it twenty minutes, and walk away.

We are happy to plant material you purchased yourself, too — the guarantee simply covers only the plants we supplied.
