The Todd Group

What The Todd Group does

The Todd Group is a family-owned landscape design, construction, and estate management company headquartered in Far Hills, New Jersey, serving affluent residential clients throughout the tri-state area (New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut). Founded in 1974 by John Todd originally as Todd's Tree Service and operating for many years as Statile & Todd before rebranding in 2018, the company is now led by second-generation President Michael Todd and offers an integrated suite of services spanning landscape design, installation, stone masonry, pools, water features, irrigation, landscape lighting, landscape structures, tree services, and ongoing estate management. The company combines in-house capabilities — including complex drainage and site work performed without external excavating contractors, custom masonry, certified arboriculture, integrated pest management, and engineered soil preparation (with documented deliveries of 675 cubic yards via 27 truckloads on a single project) — under a single operating model for high-net-worth homeowners.

The business operates a sales-led, direct-to-customer model with custom quote-based pricing and recurring estate management contracts that generate subscription-like revenue on top of project-based design-build fees. Long-standing partnerships with high-credential landscape architects — including Deborah Cerbone Associates, Lawrence J. Tencza, and Harvard professor Michael Van Valkenburgh — feed project referrals at the top end of the market. Marketing leverages the Houzz platform (where the company holds Best-of-Houzz Design 2020 and six consecutive years of Best-of-Houzz Customer Service through 2018), active social channels, and earned media in DesignNJ, ASPIRE, Dig It!, and the New York Times.

The Todd Group is a privately held, founder/family-controlled corporation with no disclosed institutional investors, no public filings, and no announced funding rounds. In December 2025, the company executed its first documented acquisition — select assets and client relationships of Birch Hill Landscaping — alongside senior operational hires (Managing Arborist Dirk Boatman, Senior Production Manager Wes Rowe), signalling an active capacity-building and roll-up phase atop a 50-year operating foundation.
