Landscaping for Somerdale's classic neighborhoods

Somerdale is a compact borough of about 1.4 square miles, mostly Cape Cods, ranches, colonials and twins from the 1950s and '60s on established, tree-lined streets. Many of those homes still have their original foundation plantings, and after sixty-plus years they're overgrown, thinning or both.

Our most common Somerdale projects are refresh jobs: pulling out tired shrubs, re-edging and mulching beds, rebuilding front walks, and adding low retaining walls where a front yard slopes toward the sidewalk. Small lots benefit most from clean lines and a tidy plan.

We're about ten minutes away in Clementon, so ongoing mowing and seasonal clean-ups are easy to add once the big work is done.

Good to Know

Landscaping in Somerdale: local notes

Retaining wall permits

Under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code, a retaining wall (or a stepped series of walls) 4 feet tall or more, measured from the bottom of the footing, needs a construction permit. We design walls with that in mind and handle the paperwork when a permit is required.

Leaf & brush collection

Somerdale's Public Works department runs spring and fall leaf collection on a posted schedule, and brush pickup during leaf season depends on time and manpower. We haul away debris from our own jobs so you're not waiting on the schedule.

Older foundation plantings

Many Somerdale homes date from the 1950s and '60s. Original shrubs planted that long ago are often too close to the house. We'll recommend what to keep, prune or replace.

Sandy soil, fast drainage

South Jersey sits on the sandy Coastal Plain, so soils here drain fast and dry out quickly in summer. That's why we set paver bases on compacted stone, amend new beds, and time seeding for early fall.

Local rules change. We confirm permits and requirements with Somerdale Borough before any job that needs them.

“P&F have been my lawn service for 3 years now. They never disappoint. They are always on schedule and they do a great job on my lawn. Because of my lack of time, my flower bed had a lot of weeds growing, and it was too much for me to tackle so that I could plant my flowers for the summer. P&F came and weeded my flower bed and laid down mulch for me. They are very professional and very kind. I would recommend them to anyone who needs lawn service or landscaping done.”

“This team does an awesome job! They are very professional and detail oriented. I have used 5 different companies this year and this is the first to actually listen and cut at the height I requested. Pablo is a true professional that puts the client first and his team is very meticulous and detail oriented. They do “top notch” work. The lawn looks like a lush green carpet. I will be using them for other projects. If I could rate them a 10, I would.”

“I can't say enough good things about P&F Lawn Care. I work for a nonprofit preschool and reached out to David a few months ago as we needed a new lawn service. From day one, they have provided excellent service, proven to be extremely responsive and go above and beyond to accommodate all our needs. I have not hesitated to recommend them to friends as well. Thank you David and P&F Lawn Care for your exceptional work ethic and commitment to providing high quality service! We couldn't be happier!!!”

FAQ

Questions from Somerdale homeowners

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Somerdale?

Under New Jersey's construction code, retaining walls 4 feet or taller (measured from the footing) need a construction permit. Most front-yard walls in Somerdale are lower than that, but we confirm with the borough before building.

Can you replace the old shrubs in front of my house?

Yes, it's one of our most common Somerdale jobs. We remove overgrown foundation plantings, fix the bed grading so water drains away from the house, and replant with shrubs sized for the space.

Do you work in Catalina Hills?

Yes. We work across Somerdale, including Catalina Hills, Coopertowne Village and the streets off Warwick Road and the White Horse Pike, as well as neighboring parts of Gloucester Township.
