Short Hills Properties

No Two Properties Are Quite the Same.

Short Hills features distinctive homes, mature landscapes, changing elevations and a mix of established properties and new construction. Each of these factors can influence how the lawn performs.

The Right Solution Starts With the Property

We Inspect Before We Recommend.

A beautiful lawn doesn't always need the biggest renovation package. And the most comprehensive service isn't necessarily the right service for every property.

GreenStripe evaluates the existing turf, soil, sunlight, moisture, terrain and property access before recommending a renovation approach.

  1. Turf

    Evaluate current lawn condition.

  2. Soil

    Understand what's underneath.

  3. Terrain

    Consider elevation, slopes and access.

  4. Recommendation

    The right service for your property.

Terrain Matters

The Same Property Can Have Several Growing Environments.

Elevation can affect how water moves through a property. Upper or exposed areas may lose moisture differently from lower portions of the lawn. Slopes can influence runoff, while low areas can retain more moisture. Add trees, structures, irrigation and soil differences, and one property can contain several distinct growing environments.

Start With Data

What's Underneath Matters Just as Much.

Short Hills properties often include terraces, slopes and multiple growing environments. A lab soil test gives us objective data on pH, organic matter and nutrients before we recommend any service.
