Prepare to be utterly amazed we are.Here is the back story on how we came upon Compass Landscaping.It was early 2023 and we were preparing to sell our existing home to move into a 55+ community (in the fall of that year).We initially met with the builders landscaping arm in the spring of 2023. However, after getting some (stunningly high) pricing from them (and honestly uninspiring images of jobs they have done for others), we decided we should contact some other landscapers to see what others were offering and at what pricing.I began an internet search of landscapers in central NJ that had experience doing large residential landscaping projects (both paver patios, walls and columns as well as plantings).Compass Landscaping came up in our online searching. We were immediately impressed with the images on their website of jobs completed (not dozens, but hundreds of projects). So, we gave them a call. Pedro (the owner) was quick to return our call and offered to come out to our then home to discuss what we had in mind. During his visit, he offered to follow me to the construction site of our new home to get a better sense of the layout and the project we were envisioning. My wife and I took a genuine liking to Pedro and were impressed with his several decades of experience. It was clear he had lots of ideas to bring to the table and we would end up with a better outcome than we were envisioning by partnering with Pedro.While we did talk (meet) with a few other landscape contractors, we did not feel any could match the experience of Compass. Not one showed the same sense of urgency or the level of interest that Pedro did. Pedro explained that he keeps his crew intentionally small as this ensures he can be on site and hands-on for each job he accepts and allows him to deliver the high-quality outcomes to which he has grown accustomed.So, shortly after that meeting, my wife and decided to hire Compass Landscaping for the project.We were in communication with Pedro during the summer and into the early fall and jointly agreed that our project (due to the size and scope estimated at roughly four weeks full time) would best be started in the spring of 2024.Then good news is that provided us a lot of time to work on the design of our project. We had several meetings (probably a good half dozen) with Pedro during the winter of 2024 to design the front and rear landscaping aspects. He came to our house for each meeting (usually a couple of hours for each visit) and reviewed design options and edits agreed from the prior meeting. Over the course of these meetings our vision evolved, and we finally landed on a design we felt would be perfect for our home.The project began in mid-May (we delayed the start due to traveling we were doing prior to that time), and it was completed this weekend.Before commenting on the finished product, I must say that Compass Landscaping employs the hardest working landscapers I have ever seen. On site every morning by or before 7:30am and regularly here till 7:30pm every night (many nights till close to 8:30pm). Several neighbors commented to us that they could not believe how hard-working Pedros crew was. I go the gym 5 days a week and I could not do for more than a day or two what these guys did for four weeks straight.We are simply blown away at the work Compass has done. Utterly astonished. Gob-smacked. I am attaching some pictures so you can see for yourself.The quality of work has far exceeded our already high expectations. Neighbors pass by and stop to comment on how impressive the front landscaping looks. Then we walk them to the rear, and they are totally blown away.We truly believe we could not have chosen better in selecting Compass landscaping. Pedro is a wonderful person and family man (lives a few towns away with his wife and four children). His crew was just fantastic. He went from being our contractor to our friend. He is welcome at our house anytime.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Pedro and his team at Compass Landscaping to transform my outdoor space, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment I contacted them, Pedro's professionalism and expertise were evident. The paver patio they installed is not only visually stunning but also incredibly durable. Additionally, they expertly graded my property, ensuring proper drainage and a flawless finish. Pedro and his crew were prompt, efficient, and respectful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Compass Landscaping for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor living area. Thank you, Pedro, for exceeding my expectations!"

Pedro and compass team are top notch professionals who put the customers needs above all! Im always a little uneasy dealing with contractors Ive never met before, but Pedro met with me 5 times on off hours and on the weekend to talk designs, choose pavers, and made project changes. We decided on a fence replacement, a concrete slab for a shed, pergola installation with footings and a patio with garden beds. He gave my wife and I the guarantee that their team would adjust to our design vision and needs while being transparent about the costs. When it came time to work, we encountered two unexpected issues - we had to work around two closely stationed HVAC condensers and poison ivy wrapping around an old fence. He found solutions for each of them without charging extra, and even took responsibility to replace part of my front fence when a worker accidentally dented it. Cannot say enough good things, thank you for the hard work and Ill look for you again on the next project.

Pedro returned my call within an hour and gave us a quote the next day. Very reasonable price! The crew were there when they said theyd be, worked hard and cleaned up after themselves. They turned a sad and outdated area in the front of my mothers house into a fresh and pleasant landscape spot. The job was done in half a day and we couldnt be happier. Id highly recommend Pedro at Compass for any landscape needs. Thanks guys!
