Back in 1984, in the small town of Skillman, NJ (near Princeton) Jarod Hynson started a small lawn maintenance service at the age of 13. By 1991 this company grew to become one of the elite grounds maintenance companies of Central Jersey. In 1994 the business was sold so Jarod could further his education at Messiah College, followed by several additional years of landscape field experience. By 2000, after much research, a decision was reached to launch a company that would truly exceed every customer's lawn and landscape expectations.

We only had one awkward spot on our property for a pool. We called Mary Dresser with Earth, Wood snd Turf because she had done outstanding landscape design for us before. She designed and facilitated an amazing pool area for our property. The quality and professionalism with which E W T completed the project was outstanding! Our pool area looks like it was always a part of our house and property. Everyone who sees it compliments it so highly and asks, of course, who did it. We give EWT all the credit and high recommendations!

Paul and his team were a pleasure to work with. They took our extensive vision and turned it into a reality far beyond our expectations. The pondless waterfall is the highlight of our backyard and the wildlife it attracts is a delight to watch. We have had many ask us about it. They worked with us on pricing on our sod and prepared a spot for our shed that complements our home renovation perfectly.
They regraded our property for better water drainage, gave the perimeter of our house and backyard a fresh new look with plantings, trees and shrubs better suited to our woods environment and re-sodded our backyard with high quality sod. They set aside a small fenced area for our vegetable/herb garden and resolved an issue we were having with the deer by strategically placing beautiful rocks and river stones and planting pachysandra throughout to give it a more natural appearance.
They even placed some complimentary pavers to provide us better access between our back patio and side porch. We would highly recommend Paul and his team if you are looking for a high quality and meticulously detailed landscape design with implementation. They delivered the "wow" effect we were looking for.

We had a wonderful experience working with Earth, Turf, and Wood. They were professional, good at communicating, and delivered an excellent product as promised. Mary's design expertise was top notch and Jeremy did an excellent job running the project and communicating with us through the process. We would definitely recommend working with this company.

Had Mary out to provide a quote to redo a small flagstone patio with fire pit into paver patio with a fire pit instead. After a half hour of showing her what we had and her showing us color options in a book, she asked us what our budget was. Upon discussing it, she literally choked and laughed at us. Her rough rough estimate was 4 times higher than than other estimates we had received in the past.
We had even paid her $100 to come out and look things over. While I'm sure they do incredible work, make sure you look over their website first. One of the pictures shows a Lamborghini parked in front of the home, this is the caliber of client they are looking for. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it would have been a nice FYI over the phone that they are looking for upscale jobs and priced accordingly.
I'm sure the $100 I paid her wasn't worth her time, so it's confusing why she wasn't more up front in the first place. She even mentioned that she doesn't like to discuss budget over the phone so people don't get offended, but I'm not sure how laughing is the better alternative. Overall I don't care about the wasted $100, but it really sucks to have someone come to your home and laugh at you.

ET&W recently completed a significant refresh of our plantings, landscaping and outdoor patio. Mary Dresser created the design and was very involved throughout the process. She is a true professional. The rest of the ET&W team was top-notch. Art and Mark did a great job communicating with us on the project and making adjustments where necessary. We recommend ET&W without reservation. We love our new space and look forward to using them again!

This is my second experience with ET&W, again very favorable. They are not the cheapest but they are likely one of the best and that was what I was looking for. I was only doing a long (curvy) walkway in pavers but we got good advice and good work. Onsite crew was personable and careful; not sure that is a common trait. Would use them again.

The entire process from design through installation was excellent. The project was completed exactly as designed, on schedule and with great communications throughout. The designer was professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with; the installers were great to work with and a pleasure to have at our site each day and the follow-up by the management team was outstanding. We would absolutely recommend Earth, Turf & Wood to anyone seeking truly professional landscaping services.

What a transformation, from a yard with dirt patches and weeds to a beautiful pergola, kitchen patio and fire pit. From Mary's vision and design, to Jeremy's hard work and dedication and finally Jarod's determination to have it done before our party. Everyone was spot on and professional. They do beautiful work, period. They exceeded our expectations and created a beautiful space, which is now our favorite space. Thank you!
