Born into a family of Welsh descent, his ancestors were among the first to settle in the Warren-Watchung region of Somerset County, New Jersey, and served the local community working as farmers, builders, educators, and dentists. The original Sage homestead consisted of 240 acres in Warren, and although modern-day residences have since been constructed on the old historic property, the original farmstead house remains. To this day, much of Ed Sage’s family still resides in the area and his father, Ed Sage Jr., carries on the agrarian tradition by maintaining a "gentleman's farm" on his property. Inspired by his family's history and heritage, Ed pursued a study of landscape architecture at Rutgers University. In the 1980s, he established his company, Sage Landscape Contractors and Tree Experts. The business has been in operation for nearly 30 years and is an important resource for homeowners in central New Jersey seeking professional outdoor design, landscaping, and tree care services. Ed and his team bring extensive knowledge and a keen sense of design to all of their clients' projects, helping to maximize the value of both their home and property. ### Services Provided - Landscape Construction - Hardscaping - Landscape Maintenance - Patio Construction - Garden Design - Deck Building - Pergola Construction - Paver Installation - Retaining Wall Construction - Custom Fire Pits - Pool Landscaping - Outdoor Kitchen Construction - Custom Water Features - Outdoor Lighting Installation - Swimming Pool Construction - Outdoor Fireplace Construction - Gazebo Design & Construction - Fence Installation - Landscape Lighting Installation - Trellis Construction - Gate Installation - Driveway Gate Installation - Patio Design - Swimming Pool Design - Concrete Driveway Installation - Driveways - Fencing - Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces - Landscape and Garden Design - Outdoor Kitchens - Outdoor Lighting - Patios - Pool Lighting Installation - Retaining Walls - Sheds/Gazebos/Pergolas - Steps and Walkways - Water Features ### Areas Served - Plainfield - Westfield - Maplewood - Somerset - Scotch Plains - North Plainfield - Summit - Millburn - Madison - Warren Township - Metuchen - Middlesex - New Providence - Berkeley Heights - Florham Park - Somerville - Basking Ridge - Bernardsville - Fanwood - Mountainside - Watchung - Mendham - Springfield - Long Hill Township ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Sage Landscape Contractors Inc | | Address | P.O.

Very professional! Every worker was very dedicated to excellence in every aspect of the landscaping and structural work. Attention to detail is very strong ! **Comment from Sage Landscape Contractors Inc:** > Thanks so much for taking the time to post a review of our work on Houzz. We're thrilled to hear how happy you are with the results of your project, and hope we have an opportunity to work together again. Thank you, once more! Ed Sage III, and the staff at Sage Landscape Contractors. **★★★★★ — fmm07023, June 2017** > Excellent, quality work from Sage Landscaping! Complete renovation of front and side yards including removal of existing lawn, shrubs, and front and side walkways. Sage removed and resurfaced the areas, created two new walkways, added sod and beautiful shrubs and trees. Estimates were immediate and accurate, and Ed Sage is a talented planner who "saw" the final product, described it to us, and had his staff accurately execute on his vision. Ed's staff is efficient, hard-working, and tidy - each day the premises were left clean and in order. Sage's office staff, especially Pamela, is helpful and responsive, as is Ed Sage. We're delighted with the final product and highly recommend Sage Landscaping! **Comment from Sage Landscape Contractors Inc:** > Thank you so much for such a nice review – we appreciate it! It was a pleasure doing work for you. Both your business and friendship are very important to us, and we’ll always welcome the opportunity to be of service to you. Thank you again! **★★★★★ — camcelroy, July 2015** > We've enjoyed working with Ed Sage and Sage Landscaping for 20 years spanning across two residential homes. Our projects have ranged in size from less than $1,000 to very substantial in size (pool installation, entire property landscaping, retaining walls, etc). Regardless of the size of the project, the knowledge, experience, attitude and professionalism of the entire Sage Landscaping team has CONSISTENTLY been of the highest standard. Ed and his team have provided top notch guidance and support with many different aspects of our homes, including new construction projects, driveways, patios, walkways, drainage issues, even emergency weekend calls with basement flooding! > > Whenever there is a need or problem, Sage is the first person we call! The enjoyment we have in the exterior of our home is largely due to the incredible work by Sage Landscaping. **Comment from Sage Landscape Contractors Inc:** > Thank you so much for such a nice review – we appreciate it! It’s always a pleasure doing work for you. Both your business and friendship are very important to us, and we’ll always welcome the opportunity to be of service to you. Thank you again! **★★★★★ — norwit, July 2015** > We bought our house in 2009 and it was newly built. It was in need of some serious landscaping. We hired Sage Landscape Contractors to do the work for us. Since then, we have hired them to be the General Contractor on our pool being built, along with leveling off the backyard, putting in a waterfall for the pool, adding an outdoor patio and kitchen. The first thing people notice when they come to the pool is the landscaping. They also built a decorative wall around the front side of the house and laid blue stone on our front walk. We have been very pleased with their work and their attention to detail. Due to the weather, we have run into some issues at times and they have been very quick to respond to help us fix the problem. We are very pleased with their work and would highly recommend them to anyone. We continue to work with them for all our landscaping needs, snow removal and masonry work. **Comment from Sage Landscape Contractors Inc:** > Thanks so much for taking the time to review, and recommend, our services on Houzz. Your satisfaction is very important to us, so we're delighted to hear how happy you are with the quality of our work. It’s been great working with you, and getting to know you. Your confidence and loyalty are very much appreciated! **★★★★★ — comtek1, June 2015** > We have worked with Sage on various projects in our yard. We installed a new pool with all new landscaping that provided our yard with a lot of privacy. We completed other projects (Between 2007 and 2014) where we installed paver patios, a built-in grill, fire pit, new drainage systems and a sitting wall. Their crew even re-stood a stone column that was knocked down by a car running into it! Of course these projects would not be complete unless we had ground lighting installed around the entire property. Sage Landscape Contractors completed all of these projects and many others to our complete satisfaction. They are professional and provide a very high quality service. There is not one service you may need that they can not handle in any home. **Comment from Sage Landscape Contractors Inc:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on our work. It’s very gratifying to hear of your continued satisfaction throughout the years, and we value the relationship that’s developed as a result. We look forward to providing you with many more years of quality service. Thank you for being a loyal and trusted client of Sage Landscape Contractors! **★★★★★ — Don Gomber, May 2015** > Sage landscaping are experts in landscape design. They designed a complex backyard pool landscape to perfection. He even coordinated with the pool company to make sure everything would be done correctly. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of the project. He gets my highest recommendation. **Comment from Sage Landscape Contractors Inc:** > Thanks so much for taking the time to review our work on Houzz.

A: Hi Carter, yes, this pool has a Gray Ansylbrite Plaster finish. **Q: Paver brand and company please** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the name of the paver color and what brand is it? A: Hello, and thank you for your inquiry. The paving stones on this pool decking are natural bluestone (which may also be known as flagstone.) Bluestone is typically quarried in the northeastern United States, primarily in Pennsylvania and New York. Colors of the stones will vary according to different clays and mineral deposits carried by groundwater during the stone’s formation.
