About us

Garden State Tree and Landscaping Service has been in business for 11 years. What's special about our business is our main anchor in the knowledge, skills and ability of Matt Rusnock. Matt had previously owned Bakers Nursery in Monroe NJ. His business was a garden center and a landscape company. He started there when he was 17 years old, became a partner, then bought out the owner. After many years in the business the local competition forced this "mom and pop" business out of business. Myself, Art Kieffer and Matt have been friends for close to 40 years. At the time of the closing of his business we decided to join as partners. Matt has a wealth of knowledge in landscape design. The way I put it is: there isn't anything Matt can't do on the outside of someones house.

My husband and I called Garden State Tree and Landscaping Service to give an estimate to remove 20 year old Arborvitaes and install a fence. They had gotten very tall and were expanding so we were concerned about the AC unit, gutters and siding. Garden State came out when they said they would to give their estimate. Their price was fair so we decided to hire them. We live in a townhouse association so we had to file plans with the Association. They gave us plans & a work order to send to the association along with proof of insurance. They did not disappoint. They arrived on time, in budget, adhered to plans approved by the Association and were very professional.
Description of Work: Removed approx. 5, 15 foot tall Arborvitaes, grind roots/stumps, install fence between townhouse units and add mulch for aesthetics.

It was incredible. I didn't have to babysit them. They continued the work even though I was in the hospital. When I came home it was the most beautiful thing there.
Description of Work: They've done several projects for me. They took apart my front and rear steps. My house is over twenty years old now. They took off the concrete and reinstalled the bricks and did the labor.

They were great. They also helped us on HOA approval. Once we received approval to start and they completed the job within a week. They also returned to check on the patio to do minor finishing touches. Overall we are happy on the patio and their professionalism and workmanship.

Garden State did an amazing job on our landscaping. When guests pull up into our driveway, they immediately see the magnificent hand-laid natural stone wall Garden State created.

I have had Garden State Tree and Landscaping Service do several jobs for me. Each job was discussed ahead of time so that we both knew what was to be done. I did not have to “babysit” them to make sure the job was done correctly. I’ve had trees trimmed & cut down with roots removed. I’ve had both my front & back entries redone with brick & flagstone. All jobs were done professionally & cleaned up very neatly! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs anything done around the house & yard!!
Description of Work: Took apart existing brick & flagstone front entryway steps & rear entryway deck/steps that was not safe to walk on anymore. They painstakingly cleaned off the brick & flagstone & reinstalled perfectly to match the original look of the house. They were self-starters & didn’t need to be “baby sat”. There was a lot of detailed labor involved.
