When determining plantings for New Jersey, there are several factors to consider:
Climate: New Jersey has a diverse climate, with hot summers and cold, snowy winters. It is important to choose plants that are well-suited to the specific climate conditions in our area.
Soil type: New Jersey has a variety of soil types, including clay, loam, and sand. It is important to choose plants that are well-suited to the specific soil type on your property. Soil problems can often be corrected, but hauling and spreading new soil can definitely increase the project cost.
Sunlight: Different plants have different sunlight requirements. It is important to choose plants that are well-suited to the amount of sunlight available in your garden or landscape.
Water requirements: Some plants require more water than others. It is important to choose plants that are well-suited to the amount of water available in your area. Some nurseries only provide plant warranties if an irrigation system is present.
Pest and disease resistance: Some plants are more resistant to pests and diseases than others. It is important to choose plants that are less prone to these problems if possible.
Mature size: It is important to consider the mature size of a plant and whether it will fit in the space you have available. Many homeowners don't consider what a plant is going to look like 1, 2, or even 3+ years down the road. Knowing what to expect with your plants in the future can really help you make the best choices.
At Haughey Brothers Landscaping we take all of these into consideration when coming up with a planting scheme for your landscape. We will only choose and plant species that are well-suited to the specific conditions in our growing zone in Union County.
Our Planting Designs Can Include
We stick with native plants wherever possible and non-native plants that are best suited for our growing zones 7b and 7a.
Using native plants in your landscape offers numerous benefits for both the environment and you. Some of the key advantages include:
Adaptation to local conditions: Native plants are well-adapted to the specific climate, soil, and precipitation patterns of their region, making them more likely to thrive with minimal intervention.
Low maintenance: As native plants have evolved to suit their local environment, they typically require less watering, fertilizing, and pest control than non-native species. This can result in lower maintenance costs and reduced labor.
Support for local wildlife: Native plants provide essential habitat and food sources for local pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. Planting native species can help support and maintain healthy ecosystems and contribute to biodiversity.
Erosion control: Many native plants have extensive root systems that help stabilize the soil, reducing erosion and runoff. This is particularly beneficial in sloped landscapes or areas prone to erosion.
Reduced risk of invasive species: Native plants are less likely to become invasive or spread uncontrollably compared to some non-native species. Invasive plants can outcompete native species, negatively affecting ecosystems and potentially causing environmental damage.
Resilience to pests and diseases: Native plants have co-evolved with local pests and diseases, often developing natural defenses that make them more resistant to these threats. This can reduce the need for chemical pesticides, benefiting both the environment and human health.
Climate resilience: As native plants are adapted to local weather patterns, they are often better equipped to tolerate extreme weather events, such as droughts or heavy rain.
Preservation of cultural heritage: Native plants can have cultural significance, reflecting the natural heritage and history of a region. By including these plants in your landscape, you can help preserve and celebrate this heritage.
Aesthetic appeal: Native plants can offer unique colors, textures, and seasonal interest, creating a visually appealing and regionally distinct landscape design.
Conservation of resources: By using native plants that require less water, fertilizer, and other inputs, you can conserve valuable natural resources and reduce the environmental impact of your landscape.
The best time to plant new plants in your landscape depends on the plant species and the climate. Generally, early spring and fall are ideal times for most plants, as they offer moderate temperatures and typically have more consistent rainfall. Planting during these periods allows the plants to establish their root systems before the stress of extreme temperatures sets in.
As landscape professionals we usually start by testing the soil to determine its nutrient content and pH level. We then amend the soil with organic matter, such as compost or aged manure, to improve its structure, drainage, and fertility. If necessary, we can also adjust the soil's pH with lime (to raise the pH) or sulfur (to lower it) based on the needs of the specific plants you plan to install. These steps aren't always necessary but when the soil conditions aren't right, your plants are not going to do well.
Staking may be necessary for young trees or shrubs with weak stems, or those that are planted in windy locations. If staking is necessary, we use flexible ties and stake the plant low enough to provide support without restricting its movement, as this can encourage stronger root development.
To prevent weeds, we usually apply a layer of mulch around the base of your new plants, leaving a few inches of space between the mulch and the plant stem. Mulch not only suppresses weeds but also helps retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature. Additionally, hand-pulling weeds as they emerge can help keep your landscape weed-free.
The establishment period for new plants varies depending on the species, planting conditions, and aftercare. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few months to a few years for plants to become well-established in their new environment.
Yes! Depending on the type of plant we often have choices as to the maturity level of the plants we purchase. For example trees, shrubs, and hedges are often available as juveniles or as mature plants. Choosing the mature plants can obviously shorten the amount of time it takes for plantings to become established. However, these more mature plants will be more expensive to purchase and depending on how large they are can significantly increase the cost of handling and labor.
If you're going to spend significant money on new plantings for your landscape then an irrigation system is a wise investment. Modern, digitally controlled irrigation systems can deliver very precise amounts of water to your specific landscape beds depending on the plants water requirements. Many nurseries will only provide a warranty on the plants if a working irrigation system is present.
We don't generally provide a warranty but some of the wholesale nurseries we order plants from do. They usually require that an irrigation system is present so the plants receive sufficient water as this is the leading cause of plants dying or becoming unhealthy. The warranty local nurseries offer can also vary from plant to plant as well. If a warranty is important to you please discuss that with us when we are consulting with you on your new plantings. We'll confirm with our supplier which plants can be covered and what those specific requirements might be.

Haughey Brothers Landscaping did an excellent job with lawn and edging. We appreciated the service.
This is an amazing company from start to finish. We were having trouble finding reliable landscapers in the Chatham area. A lot of not call backs, no shows etc. Called Devin and he came by same day to give me an estimate on landscaping services. I received a quote same day and they began work two days later. Devin’s team is professional, hard working and the quality of their work is impressive. Everything is easy and hassle free when dealing with this company and their work speaks for itself. Pictures below. Couldn’t recommend this team more.
Hired Haughey Brothers Landscaping this year to do a major drainage project that would divert water accumulating at the base of the front of my house to stop basement and garage flooding that was occuring after major rain events. The project worked great and the flooding has stopped. Adding some photos that show the work being done and videos that show the water not accumulating in front of the house and one video showing the water being diverted down my driveway at the back of my house down to the street.
Highly recommend HAUGHEY brothers for landscaping projects. They did an amazing job planting trees for privacy and also cleaned up and redesigned our beds. They were great to work with and everything turned out beautiful.
Haughey Brothers recently completed extensive landscaping work on our front and side yards. They did an absolutely amazing job! The appearance of our home was totally transformed in two days! Both Devin and Ethan are honest, knowledgeable and very easy to work with. Their staff also arrived on time and were total professionals too.
I recently had a new walkway installed by Haughey Brothers Landscaping and was very pleased with the results. It was completed in one day within a week of my first contacting them. The before and after photos speak for themselves.

We are very happy with the work done by the Haughey Brothers and their crew. In addition to doing a Spring cleanup and mulching, they transformed two neglected areas of our property making them useful and beautiful. Ethan was easy to work with and had some great ideas to improve the landscaping of the property. Will definitely use them again. A couple of before and afters:
Shout out to Haughey Brothers Landscaping!! Not only did they do beautiful work, but they are courteous , professional, and most importantly, actually return phone calls! In fact, their communication is excellent. So glad we used them, and recommend them highly!
Devin and Ethan are extremely nice, punctual, and do fantastic jobs. I needed something relatively urgent done, and they were able to meet up, quote, change/revise quote for some other options, and on a short notice, they were able to accommodate a next day project done that originally was planned for at least 3-4 weeks out. I'll recommend them to anyone in the area that needs landscaping done!
Great service! This is my second time using Haughey Brothers Landscaping and it was again a great experience with an outstanding final result. Super responsive and worked with me throughout the process to ensure the yard was exactly what I was looking for. I will use them in the future for all my landscaping needs. Highly Recommend!
Best in Union county!! Very responsive and did an amazing job on our landscaping! Will always be using them from now on!!
My husband and I highly recommend Ethan and Devin and their crew for any type of landscaping or hardscaping needs you have. I can't say enough good things about how professional, friendly, courteous and on time they always were each time they came to our home. They also left their work area very clean at the end of each day which is very important. What had started out as simply replacing a tired old swing set playground in our backyard turned into much more. They showed us previous work photos they did for fire pits with patios and we were immediately hooked. We are incredibly happy with our new backyard fire pit area and cannot wait to use it. They picked out beautiful plants and shrubs for the surrounding fire pit bed and also installed lighting into the pavers. It looks so pretty at night. They completed the job in record time too!!! We wouldn't hesitate to use them again for any other project we have. Thank you!!!!
We had been scouting for a landscaping company for quite some time and we are so glad we decided on Haughey Brothers! Devan & Ethan were very thorough, professional and all the employees were extremely kind and efficient. Great communication and never hesitated to answer any of our questions. They revamped our entire front yard along with the side of the house adding color and life back to it! Looking forward to more projects in the future!
Thank you to Ethan and his team! Our property looks the best its ever been, with new shrubs, trimming, and landscaping details. We appreciate working with you and trust your guidance for our property. Great work!!
I highly recommend Haughey Brothers Landscaping. They did an excellent job repairing our front walk, where tree roots had pushed up the paver stones; and our driveway, where a number of stones had sunk below the edge of the garage. They totally evened out both areas, and power-washed them as well. Now they look brand new! Haughey Brothers really did a great job.
I recently had the wonderful opportunity to work with Haughey brothers landscaping for the installation of my new patio, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. The owner, Devin, personally oversaw the project, bringing an unmatched level of professionalism and expertise to the table. From our first meeting, Devin impressed me with his deep knowledge and passion for landscaping. He was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the design process, ensuring that every detail was tailored to our preferences and needs. His hands-on approach and commitment to excellence were evident throughout the project. The team working under Devin was just as professional and efficient, completing the patio on schedule and to the highest quality. The final result is a breathtaking outdoor space that has become the highlight of our home. Devin’s leadership and personal involvement as the owner truly made a difference. It’s clear that he and his company Haughey brothers landscaping stand for quality, customer satisfaction, and beautiful craftsmanship. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch landscaping services.
The Haughey Brothers were recommended to us for some backyard landscaping work. They were highly responsive in providing us with proposals and patient as we changed our plans several times. They were prompt and professional throughout the 1-day installation. The crew was highly industrious in properly preparing the area for the plants, rock landscaping and sod. Ethan and his team went above and beyond to ensure the job was successful. We will use them again next year for other yard improvements.
We were looking for a complete overhaul of our front landscaping and walkway. I reached out to The Haughey Brothers and received a very timely response - which is rare these days as I reached out to a few different companies and received zero response from the majority of them. I submitted a request for a quote through the Haughey Brothers Landscaping website (which was very easy to use) and Ethan gave me a call that same day. We discussed what I was looking for and he actually stopped by to see the space - again, the same day - in order to provide the most accurate quote. He arrived with an idea for the space already in mind and described his plan in great detail. I could immediately tell he was someone with solid experience in this field. He measured the space and then said he would get back to me with a quote as soon as possible. I was pleasantly surprised to find that "as soon as possible" meant that very night! We worked together on revising the quote so that it met my exact needs and budget and then we were ready to get started. The Haughey Brothers team got to work very quickly. They dropped off the plants and began the job within a day or two of signing the contract. Ethan was extremely communicative throughout the entire process and I really could not be happier with how it ended up looking. I would highly recommend their services. They were a pleasure to work with and I look forward to using them again for any of my future landscaping or hardscaping needs. Thanks again to the entire team for a job very well done.
Ethan had a lot of great ideas on how to improve our landscaping. He was very thorough and patient. Work was done within needed timeline and price was good.
We were so pleased with the work done by Haughey Brothers. They planted a row of bushes that look fabulous. Ethan and Devin were responsive and professional. I highly recommend them for your landscaping needs.
Since my husband was unable to cut grass because of an injury the past two weeks, Haughey brothers landscaping responded to my message the same day and helped us out! They cut our lawn and trimmed a bush and we were saved from getting a fine from the town. Great job and so appreciated!
We have been using the landscaping services of the Haughey Brothers since they started their business. We have been very pleased with their service and would like to recommend them highly. Aside from their work, the brothers are pleasant and pleasant to deal with.
We used Haughey Landscaping and we are very pleased with the outcome. The pricing was fair and the workers were thorough. They cleaned up after themselves, which I consider a very important part of the job. The only negative is that Ethan said he would place a stepping stone in front of the shed and he did not. I reminded him twice and both times he said he forgot but would do it and he didn't. To be fair it wasn't part of the original estimate, I asked on the day the work was done. Other than that we are pleased with what was done. I changed my rating to a five star because they followed up on their promise. 👍
Setting up a job was simple through their online booking system. I was able to get an estimate for the work the same day. The crew that serviced my property was timely, efficient, and did a great job! Highly recommend Haughey Brothers Landscaping.
I couldn't maintain my front and side yard while undergoing breast cancer treatment, and Haughey Brothers Landscaping has given me such a beautiful gift back by fixing up my gardens again! Thank you! I can now sit and enjoy my gardens again! I hope next year Haughey Brothers Landscaping can help me tackle my back yard too!
I highly recommend the Haughey brothers for landscaping services. They arrived on time and completed the work as promised. They were professional and had a great work ethic. They also provided great guidance with design and overall landscaping needs. I would definitely use them again in the future.
