Joanne and Jonathan were incredibly easy to work with to have our backyard landscaping redesigned. They are very knowledgeable in helping you pick out the right plants and are completely upfront about costs. Their team did an amazing job. read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Joanne and the entire team. From the beginning, Joanne took the time to listen to our ideas and collaborated with us to create a landscape design that truly reflected our vision and was customized to our home. We really appreciated her thoughtful guidance and willingness to work through different ideas until everything felt just right. The installation team was professional, hardworking, and attentive to every detail. Everything has just been planted, so we know the best is yet to come, but we're already excited to watch it grow and come together over the next few seasons. We're so glad we chose Joanne and the team and would happily recommend them. read more

Joanne was great to work with and her team did a great job of beautifying our yard! I really appreciate that she took the time to go over the care and maintenance of things after planting, as I do not possess a green thumb. Thanks for everything! read more

I was a customer for 2+ years and have nothing but good things to say about the team's work. Their expertise really stood out -- they could spot issues before they became problems and made recommendations that genuinely improved the property. Maintenance visits were always on time, and the work itself was consistently high quality. We ended up moving on because the pricing was a stretch for what we were budgeting, but that's a reflection of where we are right now, not the value they provide. If you're looking for a landscaping team that takes their craft seriously, these are the folks read more

After many years of reliable landscaping service, we're moving and had to cancel. Professional, dependable care for our lawn and garden throughout our time here. So confident in their work that we've already recommended them to our home's new buyers. Highly recommend for consistent, quality landscaping services. read more

A&J did amazing work redesigning our front yard. Joanne was great organizing and guiding our project. We received clear advice on how to care for everything. Everyone at A&J was professional and courteous. We highly recommend A&J for others needing to upgrade the look of their property. Thank you! read more

A&J is a fantastic landscaper. They are diligent, responsive and always thorough and complete. The owner is super personable and handles the invoicing in a responsive and accurate manner. I would highly recommend them for any landscaping job. The biannual cleanups are amazing and make my home look new. Best landscaper in Union County. read more

Used A&J my entire time in the area. Provided a great solution for every landscaping issue. They do great work, are great communicators and a fair price. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

A&J did a fantastic job in the front yard of our home. We ripped out all of the overgrown existing landscaping and replaced with all new bushes and plants. We left the design up to Joanne with some input on color and it was exactly what we wanted. The team was efficient and both Jonathan and Joanne were at the site throughout the day. Some of the team had been working for them for almost 20 years which was evident. Everything was measured carefully and meticulously cleaned afterwards. They started exactly on the date proposed and the cost was very reasonable for the quality of work relative to other quotes we received. We actually overpaid accidentally and they returned the money immediately. Call Joanne early in your process. Many people tried to rip us off, especially once they saw the Short Hills zip code. Will be using again for our backyard next year. Pictures to follow. read more

I strongly recommend A&J for your landscape needs. Joanne helped me completely redo my front flower bed and backyard, in addition to cleaning up unwanted plants on all of my beds. Joanne knows her stuff and was quick to reply to any questions or concerns I had. The crew came on a 95 degree day and had everything done in a few hours. In addition to this, less than a week later we had a large branch fall in our backyard. We were planning on having a birthday party for my daughter two days later and were scrambling to get someone to take care of it. I called Joanne and she had a whole crew out first thing the next day to take care of the branch and clean up the entire yard of debris and save the party. Thanks again A&J. read more

Experts in landscaping and design. Business owners Joanne and Jonathan possess warm, honest personalities and a hands-on approach. They responded right away and provided a detailed step-by-step plan during a property walkthrough that made me feel confident about choosing them. Then Joanne worked out a custom payment plan that was comfortable for my family and prepared everything in writing beforehand. Throughout the project, Jonathan immediately verified any deviations from the original plan and provided updates at the end of each day. After every hard rain, my basement suffered from mustiness (gross!) and damp walls. To address this, A&J laid new drainage that was properly graded away from the house. My basement's been dry ever since. My backyard also cried for major help. Trees, bushes, ivy, and weeds several feet thick along my property lines were an overgrown mess. It was Scary Town as a play area for my children. A&J provided clear plans that were the best bang for the buck and tailored to my request of low-maintenance trees and shrubbery that would provide some privacy in a few years. They suggested vegetation that they would use at their own home. Because of their work, my family loves spending more time outdoors. read more

After 2 years of no-show landscapers I was thrilled to meet Joanne and her team. She is quite talented, had great ideas and is incredibly knowledgeable which I needed and really appreciate. She's also fun to work with and a real "hoot"! My backyard finally looks beautiful and everything is so neat. Her team is very helpful and they all go above and beyond to take care of my property. I can't recommend A&J more highly. read more

We worked with A&J on a new landscape design for our front yard. Throughout the consultation, design, planting process, and post-care, Joanne was responsive and knowledgeable, and her team was really professional and great to work with. They even replanted grass seed in some patchy areas that weren't a part of the project but they saw needed some TLC. We are very happy with our new landscaping and look forward to tackling the next project with them! read more

This is the second time we have had A&J plant some privacy bushes on our property. Both times I was impressed with the great customer service and how quick they got the project done. They go above and beyond when they are here. Both times theyve helped and advised on other items on our property ( I.e., trimming some trees, advising on some drainage problems, pulling some posion ivy they saw). Overall happy with the work they did and will call them again for any future projects. read more

Highly recommend!! Joanne and Jonathan did a beautiful job on our landscaping. Installation was done on time and in budget, they were flexible, accommodating and a pleasure to work with. They also do our weekly lawn maintenance and we are very pleased with that too! read more

We had 20 trees and several plants put in and the A&J team was fantastic the whole process! They were flexible with timing, kept in contact the whole time and were great on installation day in making sure everything looked great and exactly what we were looking for. We can't wait to use A&J again next year for our next big project. read more

The dynamic duo came through. I needed a badly neglected yard redesigned, Joanne worked with me on the design and Jonathan implemented the vision. It looks 1000% better and I will definitely use them again and highly recommend! read more

We have had A&J Landscape Design for 3 years now. Over this period they meticulously took care of every landscaping detail. They deploy a team of people who cut, trim, clear dead branches, blow away leaves, leaving the yard looking "brand new". i also hired them to plant 6 green giants and the trees have flourished in the 3 years. They are a full service outfit and will take care of weeding, fertilizing, overseeing, and aeration as well. They always send instructions on watering detail after each such application so as to get the most out of each application. I fully recommend A&J for any / all of your landscaping needs. read more

I'm very impressed by the professionalism of this landscaping service. I am a newbie to landscaping and the owner is personally walking me through the process and taking her time to answer questions and provide design elements. The service is exceptional! I'm excited to continue a long term relationship with this company. I'll post a before and after photo once complete. read more

A&J Landscape is a fantastic design and execution professional company. Joanne really listens to her clients, brings her own ideas, and creates beautiful layouts. Then her husband Jonathan and their highly professional team does the install, with care and precision. They do a great job explaining the best maintenance plans, provide a great education on the plants, and take so much pride in their work. Was a great experience. Highly recommend!! Warren NJ read more

Absolutely terrific team. Really enjoyed the whole process with A&J. On-site they were professional, efficient, and effective. Definitely would highly recommend them as they were thoughtful in the landscape design process as well as the execution. Joanne has a great eye and Jonathan is very thoughtful and considers all the potential angles before putting a shovel in the ground. Awesome, awesome experience. read more

Highly recommend A&J landscaping for landscape design and install! Joanne and Jonathan are great at brainstorming potential ideas. They worked us to renovate our backyard where we leveled half the yard, installed a retaining wall/steps and planted a perennial garden across the yard. They made many suggestions including installing a stone retaining wall and installing steps. They connected us with a contractor to install the wall, which was not their area of expertise, and helped design and plan the install to ensure everything was cohesive when completed. Everything is absolutely beautiful and exceeds our expectations! read more

We looked up reviews to find a good landscaper and found this in A&J. We are so glad that we decided to use A&J Landscaping Design. From our first meeting for a quote until the end of the job, they were professional & responsive. Joanne took the time to explain what was was best for the area and why. As newbies to planting shrubs and landscaping improvements, the education was much appreciated. They were patient, accommodating and easy to communicate with. Their employees were professional and hard working. The owners checked in and were on the job for most of it. At the end, Jonathan explained the watering process, our yard was left clean and in great shape. We are so pleased with the work of A&J. We highly recommend them. read more

Throughout the process from quote to planting the communication was responsive, honest, and clear. We planted some screening trees, as well as scheduled semiannual yard cleaning and spruce up. The yard looks great, with very crisp lines and attention to detail. They helped us choose plants that made sense with the existing landscaping. We plan on using their services in the future! read more

A&J are probably one of the worst landscapers on SI. You have to sign a contract with them and they show up in April and leave in December. They don't guarantee their there trees&shrubs. Do yourself a favor, do not hire them!!!! read more

Joanne, Jonathan and their crew did an amazing job on our landscape design and installation! They are consummate professionals and a real pleasure to work with. Joanne is responsive, creative, thorough in explaining her ideas and suggestions and worked within our budget. Everything went smoothly, we love the results and look forward to working with them again! read more

Great experience. Joanne worked with us to understand exactly what we were looking for. When the plants in the final plan were not available, she suggested a similar replacement, called to discuss and confirm the change before finalizing and purchasing. When planting day came the A&J team walked us through the planting locations to confirm everything before starting. The install crew were great, neat and efficient. All-in-all a great experience with A&J. They also do our annual yard maintenance. read more

Highly recommend A&J. The do a good job and are friendly and courteous the entire time!

A&J recently completed plant and tree installation for our front and back yard and we came away extremely satisfied with both the outcome and our overall experience. Joanne was particularly helpful with the the design and selection process as my wife and I had specific preferences, which she was able to work with us on. The level of communication and professionalism was excellent throughout and stood apart from other companies we had initially engaged and had requested quotes from. I would highly recommend A&J if you're looking for comparable landscaping services. read more

We just recently completed another stellar project with A&J. We have been using Joanne and Jonathan for all of our landscaping in our homes for 7 years. They just transformed now our second home in 7 years from what was a total disaster to perfection. As usual, the attention to detail paid, the diligence in keeping us apprised of progress as well as conscientiousness of our budget has been second to none. read more

For the first time in my life as a homeowner, I decided to invest in professional, landscaping architecture / design for the entire front yard of my property. A&J did not dissapoint me! The design is unique and absolutely artistic. Everything is balanced beautifully without being too 'Matchy Matchy" There is an abundance of color for all seasons, as requested the plantings are low maintenance, and the quality of the work was outstanding. I am writing this review about 6 months post plantings...and have not lost a single plant out of about 100! I am now very proud of the new curb appeal of my home - and all summer long, neighbors were not only complimenting me on my new yard...they liked it so much they wanted the contact information for A&J Landscape. I highly recommend this company! read more

A&J did a great job planting trees and shrubs on my property. Very professional in their approach and very responsive. I would recommend.

We have been using A & J for years now and we couldn't be happier. Our lawn looks like green carpet in the Summer, it is gorgeous! They pay more attention to our property than we do, making suggestions/recommendations as needed, from pointing out a dead tree to finding poison ivy and removing it ASAP! read more

I really enjoyed working with Joanne and Jonathan. They replaced our front bushes with Joanne's vision of what could be and made it happen. Looking forward to working with them again later this year on our backyard. Highly recommended! read more

We were looking to redo our front landscaping and turned to Joanne for her advice, design and plant suggestions. She provided a clear plan and worked with me on budget and finding different plant options more to what I had envisioned. Jonathan heads up the crew who does all the actual planting, relocating of any trees or shrubs and layout design. Jonathan was super friendly, knowledgeable, super nice to work with. He walked me through what he was doing, answered all my questions and educated me how to care for the new plantings, etc. Jonathan also made recommendations where needed to do the job right. Both Joanne and Jonathan truly care about what they do and they have your best interest at heart. All around, I highly recommend A&J for any landscaping, cleanup and mulch work! read more

A&J Landscape Design did an amazing job redesigning my entire home. Joanne was very thoughtful in picking out the right plants and making the design perfect. Jonathan and his crew were professional, courteous and clean and made sure everything was to my liking and expectation. I highly recommend A&J. You will not be disappointed. read more

A&J is AMAZING! Our front plantings were a mess, overgrown bushes hiding the house and not much blooming. We called A&J and met with Joanne, who listened and came up with a great design plan with (most important to us) recommended plantings that would work in our yard. She also keeping in touch to let us know when they would do the job. Jonathan and his crew dug out our overgrown front yard and planted a beautiful arrangement of shrubs and flowers. He explained what they were doing as they went and also told us what kind of follow-up care the plants needed, which my husband and I definitely needed. Joanne and Jonathan are friendly and easy to work with and I can't recommend them enough! We'd put off doing this project, but they made the process so easy - we should have done it before! read more

I've used A&J as a new homeowner for their lawn maintenance from late spring through to the final fall cleanups. I'm transitioning this year to maintaining my lawn on my own, but felt that the experience was positive enough that it warranted a review. Communication - Joanne was fantastic from the very first communication. She was warm, clear, and responsive in her emails and made sure all the important details were not lost. As a new homeowner there were certainly items that were unfamiliar to me, but she was always courteous and informational in advising that their maintenance contracts were full service on a yearly basis, with a focus on the overall health and look of the grounds. Though all this might read like it was simply words to justify the pricing and use of full service requirements (aerations, fungus control, etc), but after a year of the overall experience, I know that they were genuine. Also, having everything in email (read: writing) made it easy to reference back to look up simple things that I had forgotten about the work agreed upon. Work - Throughout the year, I was impressed time and again in how efficient their operations and scheduling were. There were dedicated teams that showed for their purpose (separate teams for the chemicals, etc) and were quick to get the job done. Any deviations on expected schedules due to weather, etc were promptly communicated by Joanne. Best of all however, was just how professional and careful the team on the ground were. I have security cameras across the property and whether it was the weekly lawn maintenance, to the fall cleanups, they showed care in doing their jobs. I have a driveway that may be 2.5 cars wide and yet to witness the care they showed as they maneuvered and used their equipment around the cars was refreshing and impressive. They even were fairly meticulous in cleaning the leaves that had fallen on the car itself. It was also a pleasant surprise to cross paths with the lead on the chemical team that was clearly very involved in his craft and explained all the different treatments and their purposes. Overall, I'm glad I used A&J for the work they performed during the year. If the circumstances allow, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for lawn maintenance and perhaps also for landscape work. There are so many different connotations that the words "small business" and "family owned and operated" can have, but A&J certainly exemplify them to have earned a high level of trust for me. read more
