We Design Around Your Yard, Your Budget, and Your Deer Problem.
If you’ve planted something beautiful in Central NJ and watched the deer eat it by morning — you already know. This area has one of the highest deer populations in the state, and most landscapers just plant what looks good in the catalog without thinking about what survives your neighborhood, and this applies to both your residential and commercial property.
We do it differently.
At Sod Father Landscaping, we start with a free consultation, learn what you actually want to spend, and design a planting plan that works — for your soil, your sun exposure, your budget, and yes, your deer. No cookie-cutter installs. No overselling. Just a yard that looks great and stays that way.

We design and install fast-growing privacy plantings and natural screening solutions to block unwanted views, reduce road visibility, and create secluded outdoor spaces in Somerset County, and Middlesex County. These living barriers provide both function and beauty for residential properties.

The Deer Problem in Central NJ — And How We Solve It
If you live in Piscataway, Somerset County, Hunterdon County, or anywhere in between, you know deer are a real issue. Planting the wrong things is an expensive mistake.
We build every design around plants that are rated Rarely Damaged or Seldom Severely Damaged by deer — the top two tiers on the Rutgers University deer resistance scale, the gold standard for New Jersey landscaping.
We know what works here. We won’t sell you Hydrangeas and hope for the best.
We Design Around Your Budget — Not the Other Way Around
Most landscapers show you a plan and hand you a price. If it’s too much, the conversation ends.
You tell us what you’re comfortable spending — $1,500, $5,000, $15,000, whatever — and we design the best possible transformation within that number. We’ll show you where to prioritize, what to phase in over time, and how to get the most visual impact for your money in Central NJ.
No pressure. No upsells. Just an honest plan you can say yes to.
