Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a non-native insect pest that poses a serious threat to the health and preservation of New Jersey’s ash tree population. Its presence has now been identified in at least 15 counties, leading New Jersey’s Department of Agriculture to declare all ash trees in the state to be at high risk for EAB infestation.

What to look for:
- Canopy dieback. If not treated, this will eventually affect the entire tree.
- Bark flecking
- Excessive sprouting from lower trunk of the tree
- D-shaped exit holes in bark
- Woodpecker marks
If your ash trees have never been treated for Emerald Ash Borer, we recommend a trunk injection using a special systemic insecticide that can be applied throughout the growing season. Even if your ash trees still look healthy, have them inspected today before it’s too late. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation with one of our certified Arborists.

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. He also gave advice on a neighbors tree that I do not want falling on my house and informed me how to write a formal letter from an LTE to my neighbor. Ed was extremely helpful and nice and would absolutely recommend him to everyone!
Ed Sage was wonderful! We had water intrusion into basement during recent deluge and called him to advise on whether grading was needed. He was quick to respond, fair and honest. He didn't jump to give us costly solutions and even assessed a tree we were concerned about. He is following up with us to further advise once we have the water/mold remediation complete. We will definitely be calling him for any future needs (we already have a list!)
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.

Thanks very much for your recommendation, Chris. It's always a pleasure to work with you and we truly appreciate your repeat business. Hope we will work together again soon! 
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!

Thank you for the 5-star rating, Peter -- we do appreciate it! 
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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post a review, Anna. You were wonderful to work with and it's great to hear how satisfied you were with the outcome of the project. We very much appreciate you recommending our services and hope we'll have an opportunity to work together again. 
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.

Thank you so much for this recognition, Toni ~ we do appreciate it! ^BR 
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.

Christal--Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review, we are extremely grateful! It is always a pleasure working with you and we appreciate both your customer loyalty and ongoing confidence in our services. We value your business and are so happy to hear how pleased you are with everything we've done throughout the years. Many thanks, once again! ^BR 
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!
