An Estate-Level Backyard From the Crew That Builds for Private Clubs

Landscape Design Company Serving Morris County, NJ

Fullerton Grounds Maintenance designs and builds outdoor space for a small number of homeowners near its Kenvil base, using the same crews and project managers that handle New Jersey's clubs, hotels, and corporate campuses.

Commercial Standards on a Private Property

Most residential landscape contractors scale up from small yards. Fullerton Grounds Maintenance scales down from properties where a patio holds two hundred people and a pool runs seven days a week.

That shows up in base depths, drainage detail, equipment specification, and project management that treats a schedule as a commitment. It also shows up in what happens after: the same company maintains what it builds, so nobody gets to blame the other guy.

Residential Design and Build Services

  • Full property plans developed by staff affiliated with the Association of Professional Landscape Designers and the American Society of Landscape Architects.
  • Custom in-ground pools, pool surrounds, cabanas and pool houses, plus ponds, waterfalls, and fountains.
  • Paver and natural stone surfaces, steps, retaining and seat walls, and driveways built for New Jersey freeze-thaw.
  • Kitchens, grills, fire pits and fireplaces, pergolas, and custom fencing that make the space usable past September.
  • Estate lighting for approach, architecture, specimen trees, and the paths people use after dark.
  • Planting design and installation, irrigation systems sized to the property, and grading and drainage correction where water is going where it should not.

How a Residential Project Works

Step 01

Walk the Property

A conversation on site about how you want to use the space, what is in the way, and what range you are working in.

Step 02

Review Design and Cost Together

You see the plan and the number at the same time, with phasing available when the whole project is more than this year should carry.

Step 03

Build, Then Maintain

One team builds it, and residential maintenance keeps it looking the way it did the week it was finished.

Recent Residential Work

One recent poolside project pairs a custom in-ground pool with a paver patio and a built-in fire feature. Another covers a full estate outdoor living space: a pool, paver terraces, and landscape lighting laid out as one connected property.

Both were built by the same FGM crews that handle the commercial portfolio.

A Short List, Close to Home

Residential maintenance stays within roughly 10 to 15 miles of Kenvil. Design and build projects are considered case by case. That radius covers much of Morris County including Roxbury, Randolph, Mendham, Chester, Mount Arlington, and Rockaway, along with neighboring parts of Hunterdon County.

Staying tight is what allows the same project manager to be on site when it matters and the same crews to come back for service afterward.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The residential work skews toward full outdoor living environments: pools with surrounding terraces, kitchens, fire features, lighting, and planting handled as one project. Single-element jobs are considered but are not the focus.
  • Projects intended for summer use are best started the previous fall or winter. Design, permitting, and material lead times commonly consume two to four months before construction begins, and spring is the busiest window for approvals.
  • Permitting and coordination with township requirements are part of project management. Pools, gas fire features, electrical work, and structures require permits across New Jersey municipalities.
  • Phasing is common. A typical sequence installs the pool, terrace, and utilities first, then adds kitchen, pergola, lighting, and planting layers in later phases so each stage looks finished on its own.
  • Plant material is generally warrantied up to one year unless otherwise agreed. Hardscape and installed equipment carry their own manufacturer terms.
