What our customers are saying:

Total Concepts refreshed some tired old landscaping on my property and did an excellent job. Their project vision to job execution resulted in my house looking amazing; having been properly highlighted by the new plantings.

I love Total Concepts!!! They are there best! Best in design - Ken Lerner, the owner, is so creative and really listens to what you want. Best in execution - they are fast and efficient. Best in maintenance - the crew is so nice, helpful, skillful and dependable. When I first moved into area, I interviewed many, many landscape companies and ended up using two for my front yard... I was never happy with either of the results. I started with Total Concepts Landscaping when I was doing my backyard, which was totally concrete. I was hoping to transform the yard into a beautiful space - to read, relax and entertain. I told Ken my hope, but I never really expected much - especially since my yard was total concrete and my prior landscape experiences were never good. Well, surprise surprise! My back yard is gorgeous! It is inviting and relaxing. I don't know how he created such a beautiful space!! He created exactly was I was hoping for!!! I have since used Ken to redo my front yard as well. They say third times a charm but I'm sure if I had used Total Concepts Landscaping to begin with, once would have been enough. I have since used Ken to replace all my fencing around my house and do all the maintenance and upkeep on my property. He makes everything easy and effortless. They stand behind their work and are so easy to work with. I love my outdoor spaces! Robin Koenig

“Total Concepts has taken exceptional care of my home in Colts Neck. Their thoughtful, well-designed landscaping and hardscaping have significantly enhanced the look, livability, and value of my property. From day one, their vision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail have elevated my entire exterior environment. I own two other homes and use professional property managers, but I have never experienced an all-encompassing service like Total Concepts. They provide true turnkey support — comprehensive landscaping, hardscaping, irrigation, seasonal care, and full exterior maintenance. What truly sets them apart is that their service goes far beyond the outdoor areas. Whenever an internal issue arises — plumbing, electrical, HVAC, or anything else — I simply call Ken, the owner. He immediately arranges the right professionals and sees that the work is handled quickly and correctly. This level of reliability, responsiveness, and hands-on management is unmatched. Total Concepts eliminates the need to coordinate multiple vendors and gives me complete confidence that my home is cared for inside and out. If you want a single trusted team that truly does it all — one call to Total Concepts is all you need.”

Total concepts offered us great service in advising us and then providing beautiful and very large trees for our backyard project - Ken was extremely knowledgeable and very responsive throughout the process. We are pleased with their service and their products, highly recommend!

Ken and his team realized the vision I'd always had for our back patio. When we had a deck built, I needed the area below to be transformed into useful outdoor space. Mission accomplished! It looks great and exceeded my expectations.

From idea conception, to design planning all the way through execution Ken and his team went above and beyond and more than impressed my husband and I in our very extensive backyard landscaping project. Our new build was a clean slate for Ken's creation and what started as me calling him to do some privacy/perimeter landscape turned into our own woodland wonderland. Ken did not do bare minimum at all with this project. His ideas were magnificent and the execution is perfection. We hit some unforeseen obstacles along the way due to the layout of our yard and Ken was able to efficiently problem solve with no doubt he could manage it. We had total confidence in his entire team who worked tirelessly and meticulously each day at our home. We have the most beautiful backyard I have ever seen and it is with complete thanks to Total Concepts. 100% would recommend. Also important to note that most contractors we hired for jobs around the new house we had to chase after and micromanage; with Ken and his team we had absolutely nothing to worry about - they showed when they said they would, they didn't need us following up a million times. It was wonderful to work with them!

Follow up: Ken and his team did such an awesome job the first time around that we hired them again for our next big project. We live up on a steep hill and have always had trouble keeping up with our curb appeal. Total Concepts did amazing work getting our irrigation system set up, seeding, laying down netting and neatly manicured hay to secure it, regrading our property, fixing some underground drain pipes, and adding some new beds with seasonal plants and flowers. It looks like a new home! They are truly able to do it all. Thank you soooo much Total Concepts! Original: Ken and the entire team at Total Concepts did a wonderful job on our property from start to finish. The first time I met Ken and did a walk through of my property, I knew he would be the right fit. His demeanor, knowledge, and taste were exactly what I was looking for. He helped me prioritize different projects and come up with the best solutions for our budget. He was always available to chat things over with, and got everything done within the timeline we had aimed for. He even threw in some extra beautiful plants in our front beds. You cannot go wrong with Ken and Total Concepts. Our house feels brand new, and I’m so grateful for their hard work!!

Excellent work, reasonably priced and all completed within a timely manner. Does not get better than this.

Ken & his team does amazing work with great vision and is so easy to work with. Highly recommend!!

We are very pleased with the turn out of our landscaping project for privacy trees in our backyard. Ken and his team were extremely professional, they showed up on time, worked as planned and left the project clean at the end of each day. Ken was very attentive to the details and was present everyday. We highly recommend Total Concepts for any project.

Wow, what a great place.

To say I’m thrilled with my stunning landscaping, would be an understatement! Ken and his team are the definition of professionals. From the removal of all of the old trees and bushes, including a 35yr. old dead ash tree and a 15ft. Japanese Maple; saving a dwarf Japanese Maple to be replanted elsewhere to planting redbuds and crepe myrtles; boxwood; hosta; knockout roses, daylilies, barberries; etc., all planted with extreme care and a critical and seasoned eye for placement. Ken was here every day that his team was here, which to me says it all….Pride…..pride in his company’s reputation and the beauty they create. People now know me in the community as the house with the beautiful landscaping! Thank you Ken and the Total Concept family, including your office staff, for creating such joy!

Total Concepts redid my front steps and front and back landscaping. I now have the prettiest house in the neighborhood. They are creative and very easy to work with. They arrive on time and clean up afterwards. I highly recommend them and I plan to use them whenever I have a project to do. They do excellent work. They can do anything and they do it so very well. Love them.

There is only one word you can use when describing the landscape project installed by Ken and his professional staff. That word is WOW! My house has come alive and is the wonder of my community as people stop in front of my home as they drive by to admire the project. Total Concepts arrives on time and stays until the job is done. Their CUSTOM concept for your home AND YOUR PERSONALITY is nothing short of amazing. Each day I would come home to something else that blew me away more than the day before. Expert, custom, one of a kind look to my property that is 2nd to none. HIGHLY recommended. 12 out of 10!

Ken and his crew managed to transform our front landscaping in a day and a half. From the start, Ken helped design a beautiful landscape for our front garden beds and planted new trees in our yard. His hardworking crew were professional, efficient and made sure there was not one piece of debris left on our lawn after they were finished. We have been receiving daily compliments about our new yard and we would highly recommend Total Concepts!

Ken and his team realized the vision I'd always had for our back patio.
