 Recycling the clippings back to the turf as grass blades is at times a good idea, being that they are 80% water and the cuttings havenutrients, are the very best compost for building long-term highly organic soil. We only catch when an area is too small or we may get too many clippings in gardens. If we choose not to catch your grass clippings, be assured even if we have to do a double cut based on a 7-day mowing cycle, there will be no extra charge to you, and you will always have a high quality appearance.

Cool season turf, which is the dominant turf grass in Northern New Jersey, requires approximately 1" of water from your sprinkler, irrigation system or Mother Nature or a combination per week. 

The size of the mower used is based on the size of each given area of lawn. We have many different size mowers with deck sizes from 21" to 52" or larger. 

At what height do you cut the lawn? 

From late April to late November we use a 3" mowing height. This is when your lawn is most actively growing. It is also in the recommended range of height of cut. During early Spring and late Fall we will lower the height of cut to 2.5 to 2.75. The mowing cut also depending on the grass type you have.

The right height will cause less damage to the blade of grass so the plant is under less stress. This in turn will allow for better vigor which in itself will help shade, fend off weeds and protect against insect damage. 

We sharpen our blades on average about every 12 to 15 working hours, so about ever 8-10 mowing hours 3 to 4 times per week. 

Yes. We carry commercial insurance riders in our insurance. 

We provide different maintenance plans from basic lawn maintenance to platinum garden care. We also offer landscape maintenance and irrigation service agreements. 

A. This all depends on the services you desire and the size of your property. We are a year round service company with well trained, and fully insured employees. 

A. The following is a basic guideline for pruning. When present, damaged or diseased shrub-limbs and branches should be removed. Most flowering shrubs and ornamental trees, should be pruned after blooming and before the next year's buds set. Prune whenever possible for plant health and to keep the natural shape of the plant. Some ornamental's and vines require dormant pruning in late winter. We highly recommend hand pruning over shearing. 

Mulch provides the following benefits for planting when done correctly: For shrubs and ornamental trees, a mulch base of 3"-4" is recommended. It helps to keep weeds in check, retains moisture in the soil and adds organic matter to the soil as it decays. Woody, ornamental and evergreen trees do not need or want their soil cultivated around their roots so it is best to apply mulch.

Mulch should be limited to 1"-2". Or ideally a mulch and compost mix, would be a better choice. Unlike ornamental's, annuals and perennials like loose, tillable soil'

Turf grass should be watered 3/4" - 1" per week. Shrubs and trees should receive deep watering 1-2 times per week. Annual and perennials should be watered 2-3 times per week. This answer is for established landscapes only. Watering also depends on the type of landscaping you have and your plant needs.

Q. Do you install and service irrigation system? 

A. Yes. We can install and service residential and commercial systems. Please call for more information. Service-call fees do apply. 

Q. Is odd/even watering necessary? 

A. In most cases the answer is no. It is an easy way for towns and water companies to track restrictions on outdoor watering during peak-water-use periods. It is not very healthy for your landscape. And in our opinion promotes over watering. 

Q. I am considering an underground automatic sprinkler system. Can you tell me about it? 

A. Think of a sprinkler system as enhancing Mother Nature, not to replace her. In times of dry conditions, it can free you from hours of watering and can, if installed correctly, ensure proper moisture to turf and plants. Don’t think of it as set it, and forget it. Irrigation systems require spring and fall service and periodic water-schedule changes as conditions warrant, but it’s easier then dragging out the hose. 

Q. Do you repair and service low voltage lighting systems? I’m not sure of the brand as we just moved into our home. 

A. We can and do service all professional brandname systems, Cast, Kichler, Focus and Hadco to name a few. If you have an irrigation system, we can do both at the same visit. Ask our office staff how it will save you money.

Q. If you design my landscape, how will I maintain and care for it? 

A. Any designed or installed work CJL provides can be maintained or serviced by CJL. This includes full landscape planting, sod or seed, lawn irrigation or installed lighting systems. 

Q. What can I expect to spend landscaping my entire property? 

A. Assuming your asking for all key components, hardscape, fencing, drainage, irrigation, lighting, plant material, etc., a realistic range is 10%-15% of your home's value. This can be higher or lower based on site conditions, access, plant selection, etc. 

Q. We are considering a pond with our new landscape design project. How much maintenance do they require? 

A. There is some maintenance required with a pond. In the spring your pond will require opening, cleaning and periodic filter maintenance. In the fall it is recommended that you cover the pond with netting and put a heater in the pond. These services can all be done by CJL. Please contact us for more information.
