How do I get an estimate?

How long does a patio last in South Jersey's climate?
That depends far more on the base than the surface. Camden County's soils hold moisture, and water that freezes under a patio lifts it. That's why base preparation matters: proper excavation depth, stone compacted in layers, and a surface pitched away from the house. Built that way, both bluestone and quality pavers hold their level year after year.
Do you build with bluestone or concrete pavers?
Both. Bluestone is the regional classic and ages beautifully — our completed Cherry Hill patio is bluestone set with tight, even joints. Pavers offer engineered consistency and a wider style range. The estimate, by phone or at the property, is where we match the material to the site and budget.
Do I need a wall, or just better grading?
Sometimes neither — and we'll say so. Retaining walls solve real grade problems, but plenty of slopes are better handled with planting and regrading. The written proposal comes after the estimate, by phone or at the property, and it's based on the actual site, not a price sheet.
How does a hardscaping estimate work?
It's done by phone or at the property and looks at grade, drainage, and access. A written proposal follows. No verbal quotes, no pressure to decide on the spot.
How do you choose plants for South Jersey yards?
For the conditions the yard actually has — light, soil, moisture, and USDA zone 7 winters — and for how the planting will look in five years, not just the week it goes in. Our completed work ranges from clipped formal boxwood in Haddonfield to layered perennials under mature canopy in Voorhees.
Can you work with what's already planted?
Yes, and we prefer to. The estimate, by phone or at the property, starts with what's worth keeping. Established plants that suit the site are an asset — removal is only proposed when a plant is failing, misplaced, or fighting the design.
Do you handle both the design and the installation?
Yes. Hunt Premier is owner-operated and handles both, from planning the beds to installing them.
What does a design project cost?
It depends entirely on scope — which is why every project starts with a free estimate, by phone or at the property, and ends with a written proposal you can review on your own time. You can request one through the estimate form.
What makes a lawn maintenance program different from just mowing?
Consistency and judgment. A good lawn is mostly consistency — the same schedule, the right cutting height for the season, and edges kept sharp. South Jersey turf is mostly cool-season grass, so summer heat calls for mowing higher, not shorter.
Do you offer one-time cuts or only seasonal programs?
Whether a one-time visit makes sense depends on the situation — ask at the estimate and Adam will tell you honestly what fits. Scheduled care through the growing season is what keeps turf dense and the property looking tended between larger projects.
Which towns do your maintenance routes cover?
Our core towns are Haddonfield, Cherry Hill, Collingswood, Voorhees, Haddon Township, Audubon, and Somerdale. Maintenance routes also cover communities across Camden County within a reasonable drive of existing work.
How do I get an estimate for a lawn maintenance program?
Call (856) 857-8186 or use the estimate form, and describe the property and the schedule you're looking for. Estimates are done by phone or at the property. Each estimate is written, not a verbal quote, and there's no pressure to decide on the spot.
How much mulch do beds actually need?
Two to three inches total — including what's already there. More than that sheds water, suffocates roots, and wastes money. Top-dressing to the right total depth beats blanketing beds with a fresh three inches every year.
Do you pile mulch against tree trunks?
No — the mulch 'volcano' holds moisture against bark and slowly kills the tree. Done right, mulch forms a flat ring that stops short of the trunk with the root flare visible.
When is the best time to mulch in South Jersey?
Late spring after the soil warms, or a mid-fall top-up after clean-up to insulate roots through winter freeze-thaw. Mulching cold, wet soil in early spring locks the cold in.
What does bed maintenance include besides mulch?
Re-cutting the edges, weeding, and removing what doesn't belong so the plantings get the attention they deserve. Re-cut edges are most of what makes a bed read as finished.
Why does the timing of a clean-up matter so much?
Because plants keep their own calendar. Fall clean-ups protect turf from matted leaves and stop diseased foliage from carrying problems into next year; spring clean-ups reset beds before new growth makes the work fiddly. Done at the wrong time, the same work accomplishes less.
When should shrubs and trees be pruned?
It depends on the plant. Spring bloomers like azalea and lilac set buds the year before, so they're pruned right after flowering. Most deciduous structural pruning is best done in winter dormancy, when the branch architecture is visible.
What's included in a fall clean-up?
A thorough fall clean-up typically covers leaf clearing from turf and beds, cutting back spent perennials, and clearing what shouldn't overwinter — so plantings come through winter protected and spring starts clean. The estimate, by phone or at the property, settles the exact scope.
How do I get an estimate for seasonal clean-ups and trimming?
Call (856) 857-8186 or use the estimate form, and describe the property and what needs attention this season. Estimates are done by phone or at the property. Each estimate is written, not a verbal quote, and there's no pressure to decide on the spot.
