My wife and I have been working with Ryan at Sponzilli Landscaping, over the last couple of months to create our "Resort Backyard." We originally reached out to Sponzilli because I saw Jason Sponzilli's articles in the local magazine. My first reaction was "someone who will write these articles for the local magazine must take pride in their work." I was not wrong. Ryan communicates well and responds to questions and requests quickly. He has shown us different options at different price ranges so we can make the best decision for us. The design was great on the first try (minus a couple of tweaks.) And the process has been seamless and they make it easy. They are clear on the process and expectations upfront. I couldn't recommend them more and will always use them for our landscaping needs in the future.

Sponzelli did a complete overhaul of our backyard including building us a new brick patio, landscaping, burying water tanks, lighting and irrigation. We knew we were in great hands from day 1. Their work is pristine and the results are gorgeous. We’ll be enjoying our backyard for years to come.

We've had three wonderful experiences with Sponzilli as they have transformed areas of our property in stages over the last two years. One was a complete overhaul of front landscaping - beautiful design renderings and removal of all decades old plantings. Ryan really listened and worked with my favorite plants and colors. They set up sprinkler install through Morris & Bergen and deer control spray immediately following new plantings.

We have used them for a backyard refresh and to creating a short stacked stone retaining wall to create a bed along the driveway. Their crew is knowledgable and hard working and we had three great projects. Their design drawings sealed the deal for me, so wonderful to visually see what it would look like!

Professional and courteous service from Jason, Ryan and crew. The team is efficient and will consult you on the appropriate path for the best outcome. We are thoroughly satisfied with our bluestone back patio and front walkway. Give them a call and don’t look back - they are that good.

Words cannot describe how beautiful our property at the VFW is because of Sponzilli. They presented us with their vision for what our new memorial garden could look like and it exceeded our expectations. Peter and team were a pleasure to work with and accomplished something amazing that we are forever grateful for.

“The” company in high end landscaping design and construction. Experienced, professional, patient and friendly team. Highly recommend. Uniquely different then most landscapers. Their office design demonstrates that.
