Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Sussex, NJ

“Susan did a great job redesigning the landscaping and entrance to the front of our home. Her new layout for the front walkway is brilliant. Her choice of materials for the deck railing and paving are superb. The shrubs and plants are lovely. We particularly like that they bloom at different times of the year.”

“I enjoy doing my own gardening, but needed help creating a cohesive design for my 1-acre lawn. Susan of The Crafted Garden evaluated my property, listened to my ideas, and then created a landscape design that could be implemented in stages. She provided drawings, including transparencies over pictures of our existing garden to help us envision the change. She consulted us at each stage, telling us what to expect in costs of labor and plant material. With Susan's crew, we began in Fall '13, altering the site's hard scape, then fine-tuned the beds and planted this spring, completing the first and largest phase of the work. Susan reoriented the approach to our home, widened beds, and created a planting scheme that tied the different areas together, incorporating native species that provide good habitats for birds. Susan and her crew were prompt, worked very quickly, and left the site clean. They accomplished in two weekends what would have taken me 6 months. Susan provided information about what we needed to do to keep our plants healthy -- watering schedules, mulch, etc. it has been exciting to see the the plants flourish and to envision the garden's continuing maturity. (I have inadequate pictures taken with my phone, but will post pictures at another date.) We had a positive experience and I learned a great deal about the process. When we began, I was focused on the plants to be chosen. But it was Susan's careful preparation -- curving a walk here, arcing a bed there -- that showcased our home's best features, and set the stage for a garden that offers us color and lovely scent throughout the seasons. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Susan as a creative and knowledgeable partner.”

“I cannot say enough about Cording Landscape. I think it says it all that we originally hired them to redo our front yard and walkway creating natural stone steps and gardens, and loved what they did so much we hired them to do our back yard, pool area, and put a circular garden in our side yard. Every year since our original design they come back and tweak the stunning work they did for us. Ron Cording and all the staff members are very particular to detail, extremely creative, and intensely hard working. The crew was amazing to watch work with the stone, and their placement of trees, shrubs, and flowers ensured we always have color blooming in the yard regardless of the season. In addition to being outstanding at what they do, the staff is friendly, respectful, and timely. We truly love everything about Cording landscape.”

“I had a wonderful experience with the Terracare crew. The owner, Gary Kayal, came up with a beautiful new design for my backyard renovation and helped with every step of the process. He enlarged my patio space with an outdoor kitchen and fire pit, completely renovated my pool, and completed the new space with beautiful landscaping. His guys were extremely professional and talented. I am very happy with the results and can't wait to use my new backyard space this spring/summer. Gary is SO nice that he will even bring you breakfast in the mornings and dinner at the end of each day. Okay...maybe I made that part up...but I think he might if you asked him to. :)”

“Michael is totally professional. The first thing he did is walk the property and visualize what's possible. He is a wonderful listener and when we expressed our ideas he skillfully asked questions and helped us develop our thoughts. All the while he made his own suggestions but allowed us the space to run with our own. The process of doing the plan and work was excellent.His contractors and his interaction with all the professionals working on our project - it was extensive and complex with water features, landscape both soft and hard, electrics and engineered walls - was easy and he coordinated the people and order of events to complete the work seamlessly. We are more than pleased with the outcome and enjoy the results everyday. Those we've referred to Michael have had the same experience. We couldn't give him a higher recommendation and have told those we know they owe it to themselves to at least have an initial meeting with him as they develop their plans.”

“Great work excellent service he did a wonderful clean quick job for a decent price and best of all he was always here on top of his workers”

“We have been working with Roy Klaproth & EDC Landscaping for 12 years. His work is of the highest calibre. He mixes technical expertise with a true genius in developing the most artistically pleasing landscape environments. He is absolutely dependable & trustworthy. He literally transformed our 5 acre mountain property from a lunar landscape into a vernal sanctuary.”

“Professional, top quality with beautiful design. Soup to nuts for outside remodel. Went from blank backyard to two raised paver patios with fireplace and pool with water feature. Like a vacation spot now!”
