· Ortiz Landscaping & Tree Services
Ortiz Landscaping & Tree Services is based in Princeton, and much of what we do is shaped by the conditions here. Every property is different, but a few patterns come up again and again in local yards.
Four real seasons
Central New Jersey has cold winters, warm and humid summers, and long, mild springs and falls. That rhythm suits cool-season grasses, which grow strongly in spring and fall and slow down in midsummer. A good lawn program follows the same rhythm, with seeding and soil work concentrated in late summer and fall.
Mature trees
Many Princeton-area neighborhoods have large, established shade trees. They are a big part of the area's character, and they also mean shade, competition for water and seasonal leaf clean-up. Lawns under them often need shade-tolerant seed, higher mowing and, sometimes, careful thinning of the canopy. See our post on growing grass under trees.
Established properties
Older homes often come with beds that have been mulched for years, hedges that have outgrown their space, and walkways and patios that need cleaning. Renewing what is there, rather than starting over, is often the most effective approach.
Homes and businesses
We work for residential and commercial clients alike, offering year-round lawn care and landscaping. Commercial properties tend to need a predictable schedule and a consistently tidy appearance; homeowners often want a plan that fits how they use their yard.
Start with a conversation
Our consultation is free. We walk the property, listen to what you want, and recommend the services that fit, from lawn maintenance and seeding and planting to tree trimming and removal and power washing.
