What 20,000+ Customers Are Saying About Sage

Absolutely amazing experience with Sage. We raised our yard and expanded an acre of it with fill dirt, then Sage came, leveled it and planted grass. The men worked so efficiently and their work was beautiful. It has only been 8 days and we have so much grass growing already!

Ed Sage came to my property after having water damage in my basement from a storm. Ed was very knowledgeable and gave us great advice for preventing this happening, weather it came from the basement windows or ground water. Ed was extremely helpful and nice and would absolutely recommend him to everyone!

Camery S.

We have been using Sage Landscape for nearly 20 years and have never been disappointed! The quality of the work and professionalism of the team is fantastic! We’ve had some challenging issues over the years to deal with (e.g. flooding and downed trees) and Ed and his team were able to address each one without any problems afterwards. Definitely recommend Sage!

Common Signs of Poor Drainage

Catching these issues early can help protect your lawn, foundation, and landscaping from long-term damage.

Pooling Water

It can damage your lawn, attract pests, and create a muddy mess that’s tough to fix without the right drainage system.

Erosion

Erosion can ruin your landscaping and weaken structural areas over time.

Foundation Cracks

Water that doesn’t drain properly can put pressure on your foundation, leading to long-term structural concerns.

Soggy Lawns

Over time, this can suffocate grass roots and lead to patchy or dead spots.

Mildew or Water Stains

Damp areas on basement walls or musty smells inside your home can be a sign that water is seeping in due to poor exterior drainage.

And More

Our Drainage Services

Each system is designed to move water efficiently and prevent long-term damage to your home and landscape.

Backyard Standing Water

If your backyard turns into a swamp after every rain, we’ll fix it at the source. We assess grading, soil absorption, and water flow to create a customized solution that eliminates puddling and soggy areas. Enjoy a usable, dry yard you can actually walk on after a storm.

Foundation Drainage Systems

Water that collects near your foundation can lead to cracks, mold, and structural issues. We install reliable systems that channel water away from the base of your home, keeping it safe and dry.

Slope and Grading Correction

Improper slope causes water to flow toward your home instead of away from it. We regrade your yard to improve flow, reduce standing water, and protect your foundation and landscaping.

Soil Grading solutions

Patio and Driveway Drainage

Protect your patio or driveway from pooling water and long-term damage. We install discreet and effective drainage systems that channel water away from your paver or concrete surfaces. Keep your patio clean, safe, and ready for relaxation year-round.

Patio drainage solutions

Sump Pump Installation

A sump pump is installed at the lowest point of your property to collect and pump out excess water. It’s especially useful for basements or areas with poor natural drainage, keeping your home dry and protected.

Sump Pump Installation

French Drain Installation

A French drain is a time tested solution for keeping water away from your home and yard. We install French drains that work below the surface, quietly redirecting groundwater and runoff away from your foundation, lawn, or landscaping. It is ideal for soggy lawns, pooling water near patios, or any area with poor drainage.

Used Ed and his company for 15 years. He and his team are outstanding. A plus in every way for Marcus for construction to Lou for tree and landscaping to Cathy in office plus all his employees they are the best. Ed always gets involved if needed and always gets back to you. He makes sure the job is 100 percent correct and any issues while rate are corrected. Always available to his clients. And his prices are very reasonable. Wtih Sage and crew you know job will be timely and 100% done right. If I could give 10 stars I would. Issues if any are few and far between and Ed or his crew always solve it. Plus his reputation in the area is second to none.

Sage is always my first choice for landscaping and tree work. They are extremely responsible professional and have great attention to detail. They also stand by their work. I had a couple of shrubs die over the winter and they agreed to replace them without issue since they care about delivering great value to their customers. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing experience with Sage. We raised our yard and expanded an acre of it with fill dirt, then Sage came, leveled it and planted grass. The men worked so efficiently and their work was beautiful. It has only been 8 days and we have so much grass growing already! Ed the owner, was so helpful and so knowledgeable on how we needed to water it to ensure maximum growth. We are so happy and excited to be able to enjoy our new beautiful yard! Worth every penny!

Highly recommend Ed Sage and his team! We had a broken underground pipe that needed immediate repair and Ed came out with one day's notice, and sent a crew to start the work the very next day. Not only did the crew do an incredible job, but Ed assisted with permits from the town, and also our home insurance claim. From start to finish, the process was seamless and there was always an open line of communication. Five stars across the board. We will absolutely recommend Sage Landscaping to all of our neighbors and friends in the future.

Great work. Efficient, and perfectionist. Always gives great advice. Maybe a little more expensive than competitors, but have tried competing companies and I always come back to Ed and his crew. It’s true you get what you pay for.

Ed Sage and Sage Landscape have been our #1 go to landscaping contractors for nearly 30 years. We worked with Ed, Marcus, Lou and their crews on two different residential properties in Union County. They provided all hard scape infrastructures (retaining walls, intricate drainage systems, patios, walkways, pool surround, waterfall etc), our tree maintenance and our plant materials. We’ve been in our current home more than 20 years and all of the work completed by Sage has lasted and matured beautifully. The crews are very responsive and many of them have been working on our property for multiple years. Sage also assisted with emergency basement flooding, in a time of need. We would highly recommend them.

I hired Sage Landscaping after meeting several different contractors regarding significant flooding and water issues in my yard. They had the combination of expertise and remediation methods that we needed, and they have been amazing through the ongoing process of remediating our property. Ed Sage immediately went to bat for us during the very difficult permitting process and has expertly and professionally dealt with each challenge. He has been super responsive to our needs and concerns, and is always available to help. The work that they have done so far has been quick, done well and cleaned up after meticulously. We highly recommend Sage Landscaping!

I have been using Sage for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. They maintain my lawn and landscaping as well as the fall and winter cleanups. It also helps that Ed is a certified tree expert in New Jersey. My property is surrounded by large oaks, he comes out yearly to check on them and then recommends pruning if necessary. This year he pointed out two dead ones I had missed that were close to the house, so I was able to have them removed before they could cause damage. I highly recommend Sage.
