Scenic Landscaping

What Scenic Landscaping does

Scenic Landscaping is a privately held, family-owned landscape design, construction, and maintenance firm headquartered in Haskell, New Jersey, founded in 1975 by the Knapp family. The company serves both residential and commercial clients across New Jersey and the broader tri-state area, including New York and Westchester County, with a roster of more than 100 in-house professionals covering landscape architecture, design, project management, masonry, and horticulture. Its core offerings span landscape design, landscape construction (including renovations and custom stonework), landscape planting, garden design and maintenance, outdoor living spaces (fireplaces, fire pits, outdoor kitchens), landscape lighting, and commercial services that include snow removal and ongoing maintenance.

The business operates through a coordinated three-entity ecosystem: Scenic Landscaping handles core landscape work, sister company Tapestry Landscape Architecture delivers landscape architecture and design services, and sister company Tranquility Pools performs in-ground pool construction. Together they offer an integrated outdoor-living solution that runs from concept and permits through excavation, hardscape, planting, lighting, and ongoing maintenance, supported by an in-house nursery and tree farm. The Custom Garden Services (CGS) division provides recurring monthly, seasonal, or year-round care packages that supplement one-time design and installation revenue. The company also runs Winter & Holiday Displays and an Edible Container Gardens line as seasonal and lifestyle extensions.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly project-based, quote-driven, and delivered in-house under Mitchell Knapp's ownership, with Heather Knapp now active in operations. Go-to-market relies on consultation-led sales via phone and website inquiries, with marketing support from a blog, Instagram portfolio, press features (201 Home Magazine), and industry awards (NJLCA Awards of Excellence, 2013). The company holds no patents or technology integrations of note and discloses no pricing, financial figures, or external funding.
