SandersScaping LLC offers specialized landscape planting services in South Jersey to transform your property into a beautiful and functional outdoor extension of your home. We believe a successful landscape is the physical realization of your vision. Whether you want to create a private backyard retreat, establish a garden that attracts local pollinators, or enhance your home's curb appeal, our approach is built on turning those aspirations into a living, thriving reality. From our central locations in Mount Royal and Haddon Township, we are equipped to serve communities throughout the South Jersey region.
Our work is shaped by a deep understanding of South Jersey's unique environmental character. Creating a lasting landscape here requires specific expertise in navigating the region's distinct challenges. The local ecology presents a diverse palette of conditions, from the sandy, quick-draining soils of the coastal plain to the denser clay deposits found further inland. For homeowners along the shore, the challenges are even more pronounced, with persistent salt spray and drying winds posing significant hurdles to plant health. By addressing these specific environmental factors from the beginning, we provide targeted solutions that ensure your landscape is built to succeed.
A Structured Path from Concept to Completion
A significant landscape project is a major investment, and our structured process is designed to provide a clear, collaborative, and predictable path from the first conversation to the finished landscape. Every project, whether near our home bases in Mount Royal and Haddon Township or further afield, begins with an on-site consultation where we listen to your goals and conduct a rigorous technical analysis of the property. We document sun and shade patterns, assess soil composition, identify drainage issues, and take a complete inventory of existing features. This data informs a detailed, scaled master plan & is the definitive blueprint for your new landscape, specifying the exact location, type, and quantity of every plant and material.
Plant Selection Grounded in South Jersey's Ecology
The long-term success of your landscape depends on selecting the right plants for the right place. We prioritize plants that are naturally suited to thrive in the local climate and soil conditions. We are strong proponents of incorporating New Jersey native plants, which are adapted to our regional ecosystem and generally require less supplemental watering, fertilizer, and pest control once established. These plants also play a vital role in supporting local wildlife, providing essential food sources for pollinators and birds. While native plants form the ecological backbone of our designs, we also integrate a thoughtful blend of "tried-and-true" non-native ornamentals like Boxwoods, Azaleas, and Japanese Maples to provide reliable performance and four-season interest.
Professional Installation for Lasting Results
The long-term survival of a plant is determined by the technical steps taken during installation. Our crews are trained in horticultural best practices that go far beyond simply digging a hole. We begin by preparing and amending the soil to create a welcoming environment for new roots. We excavate holes that are significantly wider than the plant's root ball and ensure the plant is set at the correct depth to prevent root rot. The backfilling process is done in layers, with thorough watering to eliminate air pockets and ensure complete root-to-soil contact. Finally, we apply a layer of high-quality mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, giving your new plants the strongest possible start.
