Truesdale Nursery & Landscape Services
Masonry (wet laid) or Paver (dry laid), there are many different products for your project. Truesdale Landscaping is a premier residential landscape contractor serving clients throughout New Jersey. We devote our energy to the tasteful design and installation of healthy landscapes that greatly enhance the appearance of our customers' homes.

As a result, the majority of our business comes from repeat customers and their referrals. Truesdale is a second generation family owned business that is state certified & fully insured.

Providing superior landscaping often incurs some short term sacrifices, such as taking longer to do a job correctly, hiring qualified, courteous employees, purchasing higher quality materials, or correcting problems the customer will never see, but which would compromise the health, stability, or appearance of a landscape several years down the road.
Services
Thirty years ago, I started my career in the landscape field. Without a doubt, the most rewarding part of starting my company was the opportunity to lay the foundation right at the beginning for what I was going to stand for. I said it then, and I have lived it since. Today Truesdale Landscape Services is owned and operated by James Dinizo, son of founder Ralph Dinizo.
Truesdale Nursery & Landscape Services is a full service custom landscape design and construction company with the added advantage of owning its own nursery. With over 30 years of experience, we proudly serve clients throughout New Jersey. Truesdale provides many services to our clients including landscaping, hardscaping, selective pruning and bed care, lawn fertilization and disease control and outdoor drainage solutions.
We offer computer imaging for certain jobs as a way of visual landscape design so you can see what the project will look like before any work is done.

Our landscape design expert will meet with you to discuss any ideas you might have, look over the property to judge what type of area he would be designing for and then, back at the office, he will use a specialized program that will be able to show you exactly what the project will look like based on all the information he gathered.
Landscape installation is one of Truesdale's specialties. From a small job of replacing trees and shrubs to a major landscape renovation, our specialists handle it all. Our insight into various plant species and types as well as a deep understanding of non-invasive and invasive plants gives us and you, our customer, an extra edge when planning your landscape.
Three times a year Truesdale will do a complete sprucing up of your landscaping. Depending on the time of the year - we will prune as needed, and add mulch to assure moist roots for your shrubs. Remove dead foliage from your plants and trim your perennials. Our crews are trained in the precise way to prune these valuable shrubs and trees.

The key terms that would be a representation of their services are - unreliable, misrepresentation of services quoted and service provided, badly execution of the work requested. Not only did this landscaper charge for work that was never done, but I was mislead into thinking they would keep up their end of the contract. I have come to think there are many unhappy customers from their service, but since the reviews posted are old, customers should be cautious in using this service going forward so you know what you shall be signing up for.

I've had a really above and beyond experience with Truesdale landscaping. I did not know what to plant on my front yard, or when to plant it so I posted on a community forum asking for advice. Barbara Wahl reaches out to me and spent literally hours guiding me through choices of plants and pros and cons of each option. It felt like she genuinely cared about my front yard and the look of the plants I would use to decorate it. Everything is finally picked out and I can't wait to get started next spring. Solid business with huge emphasis on customer service.

. Every two days different price.!! Mulch and topsoil one week one price, second week different price.!!! On their flyers that I received it said free delivery with no expiration date. But when I got there they said no free delivery?? Price is sky high. And also I bought some bushes and trees and after two weeks I wanted to exchange one of the bushes and I spoke to two sisters and a husband of one of the sisters running the business One sister told me that the return policy was one week and the other sister told me that the return policy was within 24 hours??? I asked them to show me on the receipt

5 Stars!!! We live in the area and happened to stumble across Truesdale Nursery and we could not be happier. Everyone has been so pleasant to deal with. We initially met with Arlene who was so easy to talk to and was exceptionally patient and helpful. She took her time to talk to us and plan our landscaping design. She described each plant in detail on how to care for them and maintain them. We even set up for delivery of our plants for the same week. A few days later we decided That we wanted to change the layout and we had the pleasure to meet with Barbara who was so friendly, patient and helpful

Ordered 12 evergreen trees and agreed on a delivery delivery date. Two days before that date, the manager texted me and said they would be delivering them a day early. I protested saying that I would not be home until late. She stated "what's the difference, it's only one day". I kept protesting, but the trees were delivered. This was a problem as I was home late, had to move the trees that day. Not what I would call customer friendly. Would not purchase from again. I don't feel as if a business that acts as if they are doing you a favor is one that I would want to give

I was in touch with Truesdale Nursery and Landscaping in early May this year in regards to a drainage problem. I spoke to Arlene who at first was attentive and responsive. She came out to the house to see the problem and to give Ralph, the owner a report of what needed to get done. Up until that meeting she seemed nice and professional, the follow up however was another story. We tried scheduling for Ralph and his team to come out but the only time they could I happened to be out of town. I told Arlene I needed to be present since the water has gotten into the right side of our garage and this

First time user and was impressed by work crew foreman Vinny. His attention to detail along with including my wife and myself in progress of project went along way for us. Also appreciated Ralph's knowledge and suggestions on proper plant material. Would use them again.

We were searching fo a tree this fall and couldn't decide what kind to buy. They were very patient and spent time showing us the different varieties that met our requirements. Once we selected a tree they came to plant it when promised and went over how to care for it with us. We felt that there plants were reasonably priced and nicer than we'd seen at several other places in the area.

Don't waste your time with these bozo's. Similar to Julius K's review, Ralph the owner never showed up for my appointment for a landscaping work estimate. No call to say he wasn't coming, would be late, etc. nothing. Thanks Ralphie boy! Bang, Zoom!

Very pleased with design for my pond area. Ralph moved some things around and planted a beautiful array of plants, shrubs, and trees. His design double the size that the space looked like originally. I could not have been more pleased. Highly recommend them

Not at all professional. I called to make an appointment to speak in person about my landscape needs. The lady that answered the phone was quite pleasant and set me up with an appointment to talk to Ralph. The 1-star here is for that lady, if not for her, no stars. Ralph never showed at the appointment time. You have to love when this happens, not even a phone call. I even called them back and left a voicemail. No return phone call. If you like wasting your days off for unprofessional contractors not to show, truesdale landscaping maybe the company for you. I would recommend Scape-abilities if

Very disappointed with the customer service I received at the South Avenue location in Plainfield NJ. I purchased a Crepe Myrtle Tree last May. When it didn't bloom that August I called to question if I actually bought the right tree. I was told to wait until next spring that sometimes tress can delay blooming after planting. Spring is almost gone my tree is dead. I was told too bad I missed the complaint time line and the guy who told me this was actually here illegally. What does have to do with my tree?
