AP Mazzilli Landscaping is based in Westfield, and every town we serve is a short drive from our yard — which means the same crews, the same standards, and the same owner's eyes on every property, whether it's a quarter-acre borough lot or a hillside estate. We've spent more than fifteen years learning how each of these towns actually behaves: where the water goes, what the deer eat, which soil you'll hit a foot down, and what the housing stock calls for.
That's why we wrote a dedicated landscaping guide for every town we serve — not one generic page with the town name swapped out, but a real guide to each town's conditions, its most common landscape problems, and how we solve them. Find your town below, or skip straight to a free estimate and we'll come see your property this week.
The towns we serve
Westfield
Home base. Clay-heavy soil that drains slowly, a mature street-tree canopy, and a classic colonial housing stock whose foundation plantings are often decades past their prime. Our deepest roots and our most complete guide — design, hardscaping, lawn care, drainage, and commercial work downtown.

Cranford
The river town. The Rahway gives Cranford its charm and its defining challenge — flood-smart drainage, storm recovery, and yards designed to take a soaking and bounce back. Plus period-appropriate renovations for the Victorians and colonials on its walkable, tree-arched blocks.

Garwood
Small lots that have to work hard. Smart small-space design — layered plantings, privacy from close-set neighbors, patios that turn a compact backyard into a real outdoor room — plus the drainage and shade fixes that come with older homes and mature trees.

Fanwood
A compact borough with a historic heart. Period-aware front-yard renovations near the station district, flat-lot drainage for the soggy sections, lawns under a century-old canopy, and privacy screening for close-set blocks.

Mountainside
The Watchung slopes. Retaining walls and terracing that turn grades into usable space, deer-resistant planting design for the Reservation's herds, rocky trap-rock soil, and drainage built for water that moves fast downhill.

Summit
The hilltop city, and the highest standard in the county. Terraced gardens and engineered stone walls, four-season planting design, privacy screening with design intent, and full-property maintenance at estate level.

Berkeley Heights
Two terrains in one township — Reservation-side slopes and Passaic River flats — plus a teardown wave leaving new homes with builder-grade yards. New-construction landscape build-outs, deer-smart design, and drainage for both kinds of water problem.

New Providence
The family-yard town. Durable backyards that stand up to kids and dogs, patios sized for the whole crowd, Salt Brook and low-ground drainage, and renovations for the borough's mid-century splits and ranches.

Springfield
The Rahway corridor's other front line. Flood-smart yard design and storm recovery, lawn renovation worthy of a golf town, screening for the busy corridors, and foundation planting makeovers for the township's split-levels.

Also serving nearby communities
We also work throughout the surrounding area, including Scotch Plains and neighboring Union County communities. If your town isn't listed above, call the office or send an estimate request — if we can serve your property well, we'll say yes, and if it's outside our range, we'll tell you straight.
Why one local crew across Union County
These towns share borders but not conditions — Cranford's flood plain, Summit's grades, Westfield's clay, and Mountainside's deer each punish a one-size-fits-all approach. Working across all of them every week is exactly what builds the judgment to treat each one right. One accountable contractor, crews that are minutes away, and fifteen-plus years of knowing what actually works on your block.
