Our landscape design service creates customized outdoor environments that balance aesthetics with functionality. Using computer imaging technology, we visualize your completed project before installation begins, ensuring alignment with your vision. Our designers consider soil conditions, plant selection, and architectural elements to craft spaces that enhance property value and meet your specific lifestyle needs.

We specialize in durable hardscape features that extend living spaces outdoors. Our team constructs patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens using premium materials selected to complement your home's architecture. Each project incorporates proper drainage solutions and meticulous attention to detail, creating functional spaces that withstand New Jersey's seasonal changes while maintaining visual appeal.
Drainage Solutions
Our drainage experts identify and resolve water accumulation issues through customized solutions. Services include grading adjustments, French drains, channel drains, and dry wells that protect properties from water damage. We conduct comprehensive assessments to determine optimal systems that prevent erosion, basement flooding, and landscape deterioration while maintaining environmental sustainability.
Artificial Turf
We install low-maintenance artificial turf systems that provide year-round greenery without watering or mowing. Our UV-resistant synthetic grass options suit residential lawns, playgrounds, and commercial spaces while improving drainage and reducing maintenance costs. The installation process ensures proper edging and drainage for long-term performance in high-traffic areas.

The key terms that would be a representation of their services are - unreliable, misrepresentation of services quoted and service provided, badly execution of the work requested. Not only did this landscaper charge for work that was never done, but I was mislead into thinking they would keep up their end of the contract. I have come to think there are many unhappy customers from their service, but since the reviews posted are old, customers should be cautious in using this service going forward so you know what you shall be signing up for.

I've had a really above and beyond experience with Truesdale landscaping. I did not know what to plant on my front yard, or when to plant it so I posted on a community forum asking for advice. Barbara Wahl reaches out to me and spent literally hours guiding me through choices of plants and pros and cons of each option. It felt like she genuinely cared about my front yard and the look of the plants I would use to decorate it. Everything is finally picked out and I can't wait to get started next spring. Solid business with huge emphasis on customer service.

. Every two days different price.!! Mulch and topsoil one week one price, second week different price.!!! On their flyers that I received it said free delivery with no expiration date. But when I got there they said no free delivery?? Price is sky high. And also I bought some bushes and trees and after two weeks I wanted to exchange one of the bushes and I spoke to two sisters and a husband of one of the sisters running the business One sister told me that the return policy was one week and the other sister told me that the return policy was within 24 hours??? I asked them to show me on the receipt

5 Stars!!! We live in the area and happened to stumble across Truesdale Nursery and we could not be happier. Everyone has been so pleasant to deal with. We initially met with Arlene who was so easy to talk to and was exceptionally patient and helpful. She took her time to talk to us and plan our landscaping design. She described each plant in detail on how to care for them and maintain them. We even set up for delivery of our plants for the same week. A few days later we decided That we wanted to change the layout and we had the pleasure to meet with Barbara who was so friendly, patient and helpful

Ordered 12 evergreen trees and agreed on a delivery delivery date. Two days before that date, the manager texted me and said they would be delivering them a day early. I protested saying that I would not be home until late. She stated "what's the difference, it's only one day". I kept protesting, but the trees were delivered. This was a problem as I was home late, had to move the trees that day. Not what I would call customer friendly. Would not purchase from again. I don't feel as if a business that acts as if they are doing you a favor is one that I would want to give

I was in touch with Truesdale Nursery and Landscaping in early May this year in regards to a drainage problem. I spoke to Arlene who at first was attentive and responsive. She came out to the house to see the problem and to give Ralph, the owner a report of what needed to get done. Up until that meeting she seemed nice and professional, the follow up however was another story. We tried scheduling for Ralph and his team to come out but the only time they could I happened to be out of town. I told Arlene I needed to be present since the water has gotten into the right side of our garage and this

First time user and was impressed by work crew foreman Vinny. His attention to detail along with including my wife and myself in progress of project went along way for us. Also appreciated Ralph's knowledge and suggestions on proper plant material. Would use them again.
