Sussex County doesn't feel like the New Jersey most people picture. It's lake communities like Lake Mohawk in Sparta and Highland Lakes in Vernon, ski-country towns under Mountain Creek, horse farms and rolling pasture, and village centers like Newton, Franklin, and Hamburg. Properties here are a mix of suburban neighborhoods, lake houses, and country lots with real room around them — and they all need the same thing: a crew that shows up on schedule and does the work right. Iron Oak Landscape Group serves Sussex County from our home base in Bushkill, Pennsylvania, about an hour away, with the same family crew and the same published pricing we run everywhere: mowing from $60 a visit, cleanups from $200 to $450 (up to 2 acres; larger properties quoted after a walkthrough), mulch installed at $150 a cubic yard, and firewood delivered through the winter. Call (570) 233-8088, 7 AM to 7 PM, every day.
Lake Communities and Mountain Towns
Sussex County's lakes set the rhythm of the season. In Lake Mohawk, Hopatcong, and Highland Lakes, properties live outdoors from May to September, and a lawn that slips for two weeks shows. Our scheduled plans keep lake homes and year-round residences cut, edged, and clean on a fixed rhythm — weekly for the best rate and the best-looking lawn, bi-weekly where the property allows. In Vernon and the ski-country towns, second homes get the same scheduled care as full-time homes, so the place looks lived-in and looked-after whenever you arrive.
Community standards matter in Sussex County's lake associations, and consistency is how you meet them: same crew, same day, beds mulched, shrubs trimmed, leaves handled before they mat down in the fall.
Farms, Horse Properties, and Larger Lots
Outside the lake towns, Sussex County opens up — pasture, paddocks, and country properties where the lawn runs big. Our pricing scales with the land: weekly mowing at $60–$80 under a half acre, $80–$100 for a half to three-quarter acre, $100–$120 up to a full acre, $120–$160 for 1 to 1 1/2 acres, and $160–$200 for 1 1/2 to 2 acres – anything over 2 acres is quoted in person – and cleanups priced by size up to two acres with custom quotes beyond. The supporting work travels with us: topsoil delivery and bed prep, bed edging at $100–$200 per 100 feet, shrub trimming at $45 a plant, and aeration with overseeding from $300 for thin or worn turf. One crew for the whole property, one number to call.
