Locally Owned Landscaping, Rooted in Freehold Borough

A drain is not a drainage plan, cheap mulch is not soil preparation, and a low bid is not a fair bid if it leaves out disposal or final grading. Every job we take starts with a free on-site assessment of your property, because the right answer in Freehold depends on slope, sun, soil, downspout discharge and where stormwater can safely go. Two lawns on the same street can need two completely different solutions.

We know this ground. Freehold sits on the coastal plain, gets roughly 46 inches of rain a year and sits in USDA hardiness zone 7a, with acidic sandy-loam soil that can hide compacted fill or slope-driven runoff. So we choose plants for the conditions where they will actually live, recommend a Rutgers Cooperative Extension soil test when turf keeps failing, and time fertilizer to avoid runoff before heavy rain. When drainage is the problem, we trace the water from its source to a safe destination before we recommend a grade change, swale, rain garden or drain — never a pipe to nowhere.

Then you get a written, line-item estimate that separates labor, materials, preparation, drainage, disposal, permits, maintenance and warranty. It is the plan we would want if the property were ours: clear enough to compare against any other bid, and honest about what the work really involves.
