Plantings & Softscapes in Marlton, Evesham, Mount Laurel & Surrounding South Jersey Communities
New landscape bed installations and renovations — you pick the plants, we handle the rest.
A well-planted landscape bed can completely change how your property looks and feels from the street. Thomas and Son Landscaping has been serving South Jersey since 2021, offering both new softscape installations and full bed renovations for homeowners across Mount Laurel, Cherry Hill, Haddonfield, Moorestown, Voorhees, and the surrounding areas of Camden and Burlington County, NJ. Whether your beds are overgrown and overdue for a refresh or you’re starting with bare ground, our owner-operated crew does the heavy lifting — from ripping out old plants to preparing the soil and getting everything installed exactly the way you want it.
We keep the process straightforward: you choose the flowers and plants you love, and we make sure they go into ground that’s actually ready to support them. No guessing at what will look right, no pressure to pick from a limited list — just honest work and a finished result you’ll be proud of.
Renovations and New Installations — We Do Both
Not every landscape project starts from scratch, and not every tired bed needs to be torn out entirely. We assess what you’re working with and recommend the right approach for your specific situation.
For bed renovations, that usually means removing plants that have outgrown their space, died off, or just don’t fit the look you’re going for anymore. Once the old material is cleared out, we prepare the soil properly before anything new goes in. For new installations, we start by defining the bed area, shaping the edges, and building a solid foundation for your plantings.
Either way, the goal is the same: a clean, healthy bed that gives your new plants the best possible start.
Better Soil Makes Better Beds
One thing that separates a planting job that thrives from one that struggles is what’s happening beneath the surface. Before we install anything new, we take the time to properly prepare the soil — and when conditions call for it, we bring in a stump grinder to churn up compacted or root-heavy ground so the soil is loose, aerated, and ready to support new root growth.
This step matters more than most homeowners realize. Compacted soil restricts root development, holds water in the wrong places, and makes it harder for plants to establish themselves. By addressing the soil before the planting begins, we give your new landscape bed a foundation that actually works.
You Choose the Plants — We Make It Work
We believe the homeowner should have the final say on what goes into their landscape. That’s why we don’t push a standard plant list or try to upsell you on species you didn’t ask for. Instead, we work with a gardener to help guide the selection process and make sure the flowers and plants you love are the ones that actually end up in your beds.
Whether you have a clear vision or just a general idea of the colors and textures you want, we’ll help you land on a plan that works for your property. We install plantings for spring, summer, and fall, so your beds can stay colorful and interesting across the growing season rather than peaking once and fading out.
Some things we keep in mind when helping you finalize plant selections:
- Sun and shade conditions in your specific bed locations
- How much maintenance you want to commit to long-term
- Seasonal bloom times so your beds have color across multiple months
- The scale of mature plants relative to your bed size and home
- How new plantings will complement existing shrubs, trees, or hardscape features
Honest Work, Owner on the Job
Thomas and Son Landscaping is owner-operated and managed — which means when we show up to install your landscape beds, you’re getting the same level of care and attention the owner would give his own property. We hire local workers who know the communities we serve, and we hold ourselves to a straightforward standard: if we can’t do something the right way, we won’t do it at all. We’d rather refer you to someone better suited than cut corners on your project.
Our satisfaction guarantee backs that up. We collect a 50% deposit upfront, and you don’t pay the remaining balance until you’re happy with the finished result. We also walk through the completed work with you before we consider the job done.
We keep things all-natural — no pesticides, minimal plastics — which matters for families, pets, and the long-term health of your landscape.
Softscape installations pair well with several of our other services. If your beds have persistent weed pressure, ask us about our landscape bed weed control program, where we hand-pull weeds on a schedule that keeps things clean between visits. Finishing your new beds with a fresh layer of mulch is also one of the most effective ways to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and give the whole project a polished look — check out our mulch installation service to add that finishing touch.
