Description of Work: It took quite a while for Truesdale to initially get back to me. I had to call them several times. After I did speak to someone in their office, a representative did come and talk to me and left promising a plan drawing. Weeks later I was emailed the sketch and cost if I followed through with the plan. I felt it was overpriced. Others might feel differently. They may do outstanding work. To be fair I can't say otherwise.

We started using Truesdale in April 2013 and Ralph and his team literally transformed our property. This is our first house and although were weren't completely unhappy with the landscaping we inherited, we thought it could look better. Ralph, the owner, has an amazing eye and knew exactly what needed to be done to improve and enhance the property. The process was smooth and seamless from start to finish and Ralph and his staff (Paula, Anthony, Ray, Vince, Andrew, Glenn) are a pleasure to deal with and go above and beyond to make sure the job is done right and the customer is happy - something you don't see very much anymore. Although pricing might seem a little higher than what you've been paying - this is truly a case of you get what you pay for - Ralph's crews are well-trained and Ralph and his team are genuinely knowledgable and very responsive. My only regret is that we didn't find Truesdale sooner!
Description of Work: Planted fall annuals, removed flowers, trimmed shrubs, trees and perennials, added sod, mulch, top soil where needed.

Everyone that I have dealt with at Truesdale is great! I was a long time customer of their nursery in Berkeley Hts. When my husband and I were ready to do some landscape work at our house they were the 1st I thought to call. Everything was handled professionally and when it was quoted to be done. The plants are beautiful and we have received many complements. We couldn't be happier. Ralph and everyone at Truesdale are wonderful.

I will continue to utilize Truesdale for my landscaping needs, but understand they are a premium priced service provider. They are among the highest price providers in our area. Nonetheless, they are top notch nurserymen and landscape professionals.
Description of Work: Truesdale has done a significant amount of landscape construction and maintenance in April, May and June of this year. All in all, the experience has been excellent.

Truesdale Landscaping has performed all of my primary home’s landscaping for over 15 years. The total value of work exceeds $150,000 and the work was always done quickly, and the grounds were always immaculate at the end of each work day. I believe Truesdale is a cut above other landscapers I have used in the past. They are quality driven and artistic in their designs.
Description of Work: Truesdale Landscaping trimmed my existing hedges, designed and planted new landscaping too.

Response from Truesdale Nursery & Landscape Services
(deleted member name) had come in to our nursery and wanted an estimate for landscaping work. We had made the appointment which was on May 8, 2013 and our estimator met with him. At this time, (deleted member name) was told by Ralph that design/image work usually takes a couple weeks to accomplish. Within the week, though, the design was done and the Nursery Manager met with the client at our nursery. The client then conveyed that our estimate was too expensive for him, so he did not do this job with us. At no time did we not answer and we do not understand why (deleted member name) would say that it took a long time for us to get back to him or the fact that we never followed up. This misinterpretation of events is unfortunate. We wish (deleted member name) the best of luck with his landscaping needs and we are sorry that we were unable to help him.

Truesdale Landscaping just recently moved to Plainfield from Berkeley Heights. They have a lovely nursery in town and I was very hopeful that they could provide a quality service. I made an appointment with one of the owners, Ralph and he did show up and recommend a complete lawn renovation and he offered to do a computerized view of what he could do for landscaping. He followed up with an email 2 days later that said he would provide a formal quote and a design within a week, (he had told me initally he would have it in a few days). Ok a week came and went and I emailed him reminding him I would like the quote and asked him some questions on services. He said he would get back to me before end of week (3 or 4 days tops) because he was swamped. The end of the week came and I called and spoke to one of his associates who said Ralph would call me back. A week more and nothing I called last weekend and left a message, no response. They have great reviews and their website looks great. However at this time I cannot recommend a business who is not responsive and ignores a potential client.

Response from Truesdale Nursery & Landscape Services
I am in dis-belief as it is clear this was an unfortunate situation. This company was built on customer service and to see something like this is disheartening. My assistant contacted this client the same Saturday he visited my nursery and his appointment was set up the following week. [member name removed] and I were not in agreement of the solution for his lawn. This project is not a simple lawn care assessment that reseeding and top soil will fix. This is a complex lawn renovation that is extensive and pricey if done correctly. After the initial discussion with [member name removed], it was apparent that we were not going to come to an agreement on the work involved or the price. An initial estimate was sent in a timely manner, but I did not receive a response. I reached out one more time a week later (as promised) when I finished, and I was ready to introduce the designs for a second project that pertained to the shrubs on the property. I did not pursue this client after that as I had other designs and estimates that needed my attention. I will never do a project wrong or sacrifice the quality of my work to satisfy a customer. To the members reviewing our page, please take the time to review the rest of our exemplary testimonials. We guarantee our work and promise that the job will not be complete until you are satisfied. If you would have any further questions, please feel free to give me a call, I would love to speak with you about the above review. Sincerely, Ralph Dinizo President

Our experience with Truesdale has been excellent from start to finish. We first asked Ralph (owner) to provide us an estimate to do a variety of landscaping last Fall. He was by far the most knowledgeable of all the landscapers we met, giving us advice on each plant in the yard and recommendations beyond the scope of what we were looking to do. We decided to postpone the work to Spring. Spring arrived and we asked Ralph (he remembered us!) for an estimate to clear the corner of our backyard (cutting down a tree, removing a stump and transplanting about 30 plants) and prep it for swing set, inclusive of railroad ties and mulch. His initial estimate was higher than our expectations, but we worked together to reduce it to fit our budget. My wife and I ended up cutting down the tree, removing the stump and transplanting all the plants, while Truesdale re-pitched the entire yard by hand (we had puddling issues in many spots and you couldn't get any machines through our gates). We initially thought we would grow grass, but given how long it would take, we met with Ralph again and he agreed we should install sod. The very next day he installed sod and the yard looks great. The swing set comes in two weeks and the kids will be able to play on it immediately after it's installed. No waiting for grass to grow, no more puddles in the corner, and lots of fun! Ralph met with us four times in total. He was punctual each time and finished the job on time. We have recommended Truesdale to all of our friends and look forward to using his services again in the future.

They do great work, but they seem to forget about us when we need something done. For example, they told us that there’d no problem with trimming a tree, however, that was several months ago and we still haven’t heard from them. Whenever there are any questions on our bill, we call the office and they fix any problems immediately. I have no problem with the quality of their work!

I’ve been working with them for years, and they’ve been great to work with overall. Anytime I’ve called the office with any concerns, they’ve been responsive. The technicians show up and do their job quickly and efficiently; I don’t interact with them much, but the times that I have, they’ve been nice, professional, honest and knowledgeable. There have been no issues and they’ve done a fine job.

The experience has gone very well. They called the day before to remind me of the appointment and showed up early in the morning. They were very neat and did everything that we asked them to do on a timely basis. I talked to the person who was in charge of the cutting, and I let him know in more detail of what I wanted done, which he agreed to do without any problems. So far, we’ve been pleased, but we still are not finished with them; I do intend to use them for involved landscaping, along with masonry work like installing a path.
