Backyard Landscaping
Transforming Underused Backyards Into Functional Outdoor Spaces
Backyard Projects We’ve Completed
Our team has transformed backyards into functional, inviting outdoor spaces
Built for Local Backyard Conditions
Backyard landscaping in this area comes with its own set of challenges. Sloped yards, heavy soils, drainage issues, and limited access are common, especially on older or wooded properties. Many backyards also need to balance usable space with privacy, stormwater management, and long term durability.
We regularly work on properties throughout Northwest New Jersey where backyards drop off behind the home, collect water after storms, or lack usable flat areas. These spaces require careful planning to manage grades, control runoff, and create outdoor living areas that feel comfortable without constant upkeep.
Every backyard we design is built for these conditions, not generic layouts borrowed from other regions.

Explore Backyard Design Options Using Our AI Visualizer
Backyard projects can feel like a lot to take on, especially when you are combining multiple features into one space. To make planning easier, we offer an AI landscape design visualizer.
You can upload a photo of your actual backyard, choose the elements you are considering, such as patios, pools, fire features, retaining walls, and planting, and see realistic design concepts placed directly onto your property. This makes it easier to compare layouts and understand how different features work together before committing to a final plan.
The visualizer also provides a rough cost range based on the options you select. That early insight helps you plan with more clarity and confidence before moving into detailed design and construction.
Understanding Backyard Landscaping Pricing
Backyard landscaping costs can vary quite a bit in our area. Access to the yard, slope and grading needs, drainage work, and material selections all play a role, especially on larger or more complex properties.
To help homeowners plan with realistic expectations, we have put together detailed cost guides based on real backyard projects we have completed locally. You can review our hardscaping price guide, and landscaping price guide to get a clearer sense of budget ranges and what different investment levels typically allow for.

Here's What They Say
Jeff, Angela, and the rest of the team are great. They do a really nice job and we are very happy with their service.
Excellent experience. Job started when projected and finished when projected. Excellent workmanship
We have been customers since 2012! Every year we start off the season with a Spring Clean up in our gardens and lawn followed by a lawn fertilization. Then our weekly lawn cuttings go from mid April to late October early November. The maintenance team does a thorough job leaving our lawn looking neat and nicely manicured. The office staff is attentive and makes sure to satisfy our special requests. Kudos to JB’s, you will look forward to seeing their truck pull up to your property every week! LO (Blairstown)
