Q&A

What are your options for fixing damaged lawn edges or bare patches in Princeton yards?

We offer several solutions tailored to Princeton's soil and climate. For damaged edges, we can install durable hardscape edging or construct low retaining walls that also add visual structure. For bare patches, our organic lawn care approach includes soil analysis, aeration, and reseeding with hardy grass blends suited for our area, all nurtured with natural fertilizers like liquid seaweed to promote deep, healthy roots.

Do you offer design services for patios and walkways, and can you handle the construction?

Yes, we provide complete design and construction services. Our team works with you to design patios, terraces, and walkways that complement your home's architecture and landscape. We then handle the full installation, from site preparation to the final construction, ensuring a seamless process and a durable, beautifully finished outdoor living space.

How does your decades-long organic approach benefit my shrubs and trees?

Our organic philosophy, established in the 1980s, means we care for plants by fostering a healthy ecosystem. Instead of harsh chemicals, we use beneficial insects for pest management and natural fertilizers. This method builds stronger, more resilient shrubs and trees that are better equipped to handle local stresses. Our services—from planting and pruning to disease management and transplanting—are all guided by this sustainable, long-term health focus.

Local Business Overview

Peterson's Nursery is a second-generation, family-owned garden center and landscaping company rooted in Princeton, NJ since 1939. Founded by Charles Peterson Jr. and now led by his children, Charlie III and Elizabeth, the business has grown from a childhood blackberry stand into a nearly 8-acre destination offering a full range of organic gardening products, landscape design, and hardscape installation. For decades, they have pioneered natural practices, using beneficial insects like ladybugs instead of chemical pesticides, creating a vibrant, park-like environment. They serve the Princeton and Lawrenceville communities with a commitment to local, sustainable solutions for beautifying homes and offices.
