TGW Landscaping & Contracting brings expert horticultural knowledge to every planting project throughout Ramsey and Bergen County, from shade trees that provide structure for decades to flowering shrubs and perennials that deliver seasonal color and texture.
Every plant we install is selected for its ability to thrive in northern New Jersey’s climate conditions, soil types, and the specific conditions found across your property. We consider sun exposure, drainage patterns, existing landscape elements, and how each plant will perform through our region’s temperature swings and freeze-thaw cycles. Our installation approach emphasizes proper site preparation, including soil amendment when needed, optimal spacing for mature growth, and precise planting depth that gives each specimen the foundation it needs to establish successfully and perform well for years.

The process begins with evaluating your property’s specific conditions, including sun exposure, drainage characteristics, soil quality, and existing landscape features. This site analysis informs our tree selection recommendations, focusing on species that will flourish in your particular environment rather than just survive. We source quality tree specimens from established nurseries, selecting healthy plants with well-developed root systems and proper structure.
Our installation follows proven techniques that give trees the best chance of successful establishment. This includes excavating properly sized planting holes, backfilling with amended soil when necessary, and implementing mulching practices that retain moisture while preventing issues with root collar burial or excess mulch against the trunk. We also provide detailed care instructions following installation, covering watering schedules during the establishment period and maintenance considerations as your trees mature.
From shade trees that reduce cooling costs and provide outdoor comfort to ornamental varieties that offer spring blooms or fall color, proper selection and installation determines whether a tree thrives or struggles from the beginning.
Shrubs provide the mid-level structure that connects trees to groundcovers and perennials, creating layered landscapes with depth and visual interest. Our knowledge of varieties suited to northern New Jersey allows us to recommend selections that deliver what your property needs, whether that’s formal hedging for privacy, flowering borders for seasonal color, or foundation plantings that complement your home’s architecture.
We consider each shrub’s mature size, growth habit, and maintenance requirements to ensure appropriate placement that works long-term. A shrub that looks perfect at installation but outgrows its space within three years creates ongoing maintenance headaches and compromises the design. Our installation practices emphasize spacing that allows specimens to develop natural form while creating cohesive groupings that enhance your landscape’s overall composition.
From azaleas and rhododendrons that provide spring color to hydrangeas offering summer blooms to hollies and boxwoods that deliver winter structure, thoughtful shrub selection creates year-round interest while serving functional purposes like screening, property definition, and framing views.
Perennial plantings deliver exceptional value through their ability to return and expand year after year, creating increasingly impressive displays as they mature. Our perennial designs consider not just immediate impact but how these plants develop over multiple seasons, creating compositions that improve with age. We specialize in mixed borders and naturalistic groupings that provide continuous visual interest through staggered bloom times from early spring through fall.
Installation methods respect the specific needs of each variety, from proper crown placement to spacing that accommodates future growth. We focus on thorough soil preparation for perennial beds, incorporating organic matter and ensuring drainage that supports healthy growth through multiple seasons. This foundation work makes the difference between perennials that thrive and expand versus those that struggle and gradually decline.
From early spring bloomers like hellebores and bleeding hearts to summer performers like coneflowers and black-eyed Susans to fall standouts like asters and sedums, well-chosen perennials provide maximum visual impact with reasonable maintenance requirements. Many also offer winter interest through attractive seed heads and structural form that looks appealing even in dormancy.
