They reconstructed the pavers, added soldiers around the edge of the pool, & the price was very reasonable & the work was high quality. I highly recommend this company.

My first comment is "Jose Velarde and his team are simply fantastic"…read more We had an addition put onto our house and several huge trees had to be removed to accommodate the addition. The largest required the root ball to be dug down over 10 feet which did a tremendous amount of damage to the backyard. Additionally, during the excavation and construction the backyard suffered more damage and allowed crab grass and other weeds to grow everywhere. We considered trying to repair the lawn, regrade and reseed it, but that looked sort of hopeless; so we decided to sod not only the backyard but also the front and sides as they looked pretty bad as well. 3 contractors came to the house, measured the lawn and came with bids including the amount of sod, top soil, lime and fertilizer. Jose's bid was by far the best. The most total area, most sod, and top soil. When the work started and until the work was completed Jose took an everyday personal interest that the work was being done in a professional way, and it was! He told us how often to water, what to look for if a sprinkler head didn't fully cover an area and more, MUCH more. We now have a growing beautiful new lawn with sod from Reid's sod farm in Freehold and we couldn't be happier. I trusted Jose with the work and he and his crew outperformed at every level and detail. We look forward to next year when we want to redo some front landscaping and we will call Jose first thing to do that work for us again. Marty - Marlboro - September 2024

We recently bought a condo in New Brunswick with a promising but neglected back deck & patio space…read more After hearing about good work he'd done in E. Brunswick, we connected with Joe. He had very smart ideas on how to best develop our space and he guided his team in expertly fulfilling our vision. Joe's Landscaping finished our project a few days ahead of the tough deadline we'd set for them, and Joe & the team were friendly throughout the process. Many thanks, Joe!

Joe promised, and Joe delivered…read more When my wife and I moved out of Brooklyn and bought our home in East Brunswick, we fell in love with all the landscaping the previous owners meticulously put in. Our property felt like a botanical garden, far exceeding the standard run-of-the-mill landscaping jobs you see in most neighborhoods. What I didn't realize at the time was how completely unprepared I was to maintain this level of landscaping. Even after renewing the previous owners' contract with Broehl's (the local gold standard for lawn care and maintenance) there was still too much to do. Unfortunately, I have a black thumb for this kind of thing, and there's only so many checks I can afford to write to try and keep things looking good. So for the past few years my wife and I have actually invested money in scaling *back* some of the landscaping; essentially ripping out and replacing some of the more complicated beds that have steadily been beat on over the last few brutal winters and didn't look good any more. When we met with Joe, we were clear that we wanted nice-looking beds, but nothing that would be over-the-top difficult to care for and maintain. And we wanted clear sight lines down our front yard so we could see our kids playing in the street. The overall amount of work we need to do to get our property where we really want it is pretty staggering, so Joe discussed a phased plan that would allow us to get started without breaking the bank. Long story short, he and his crew ripped out the mess of bushes and plants and undergrowth that marked the front and center portion of our lawn. He designed a simple, but elegant bed that he said would look great but wouldn't be impossible to maintain. He took photos of our property in advance, and then simulated his recommended design over the photos via computer, allowing us to "see" what it would look like before we'd have to commit. As you can see from the photos, Joe and his crew did a great job. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the work. We get a ton of compliments on the before and after. (Unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the before, but trust me -- this was a huge leap forward.) Truth be told, you're really at a disadvantage if you cannot do at least some of your own landscaping. Professional landscaping is expensive -- plain and simple. And frankly, I hate paying for it. But as I said in my previous review, Joe is a no-nonsense, honest businessman. If, as the saying goes, a man is only as good as his word, Joe is a good man. He and his crew are completely professional and do great work at a very competitive price. Just look at the photos and see the work for yourself. And feel free to message me if you have any questions or want to learn more.

T would come by and assess our backyard every once in a while and once we were able to start designing the landscape he was fully hands on & ALWAYS available. We needed A LOT of work including top soil leveling, sod, mulch beds, big trees, shrubs, sprinklers fixed etc. He took the time to meet me at nursery to help pick out exact trees & shrubs that would look best with our landscape design. Once it was time for install, the amount of patience T & his team had was beyond! They moved trees (some were about 900 lbs) until we were absolutely satisfied with the placement and overall look. In a matter of 3 weeks, our yard went from a complete construction zone to a true Oasis & we cannot thank T & his team enough! Exceptional work & communication!
