Registry status comes straight from the state's verification system on the date shown, and you can rerun any number there yourself in about two minutes. Review scores are what the named platforms report and we have not audited them. BBB grades as of July 2026. "Based in" is the registered address city, which sometimes differs from where a company says it operates. An active registration is the floor, not an endorsement; the picks we'd call first are above.
Half this county is lawn, and the other half is the retaining wall holding it up. We checked what's checkable on every landscaper we could find serving the county. Every fact on this page names its source and the date we checked.
We pull credentials from the official registries ourselves and print the date next to every status, plain lawn mowing, fertilizing, and cleanup work is unlicensed in New Jersey. Once a job becomes construction, patios, walkways, retaining walls, drainage, other hardscaping, the contractor must hold an active NJ Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration, format 13VH#######, issued by the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs. Verify status free at https://newjersey.mylicense.com/verification/ (select 'Home Improvement Contractor'). Companies applying pesticides/herbicides (weed-and-feed lawn programs, grub control) need a separate NJDEP Pesticide Business Registration/applicator license, not covered by the HIC, ask for it separately. Snow plowing itself carries no state license requirement in NJ.. Picks are editorial judgment on the checkable record: years in the trade, complaint patterns, review consistency, real presence in the county. When a pick has a weak spot, we print it. Here are the full rules.
No credible NJ- or Hunterdon-specific pricing source was found during this research pass, so no cost figures are included. National lawn-care marketplace sites (LawnStarter, Angi) publish price ranges, but those are aggregator marketing figures rather than independently verified local data, cite them as provisional if used elsewhere, don't present as fact.

No. Routine mowing, fertilizing, and cleanups aren't licensed trades in New Jersey. The license requirement (HIC registration, prefix 13VH) only kicks in once the job becomes 'home improvement', patios, retaining walls, walkways, drainage systems, that kind of permanent construction work.
We didn't find a credible NJ-specific or Hunterdon-specific price study to cite here, so we're not going to guess a number, national mowing-price aggregators exist but their figures are marketing copy from lead-gen sites, not independently verified data. Get three local quotes; prices vary a lot by lot size and whether it's a one-time cut or a season contract.
Yes, there's no separate license for snow plowing in NJ, and most local landscaping companies run it as a winter add-on to their summer maintenance business. The thing to nail down isn't licensing, it's the contract terms: trigger depth, per-push vs. seasonal pricing, and damage liability.
