The Guide: Hardscaping & Outdoor Living in Montville–Kinnelon, NJ
How to Use This Guide
This guide lists hardscaping and outdoor living businesses that work in Montville and Kinnelon. It includes businesses that build patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, pergolas and pavilions, fire features, pool surrounds and driveways in pavers or stone.
The Builds column lists up to four things each business’s own website says it builds. The Services column lists what else its website offers, such as design. The Based in column gives the town the business lists as its base and how that town relates to the towns on this page.
Hardscaping is home improvement work, and New Jersey home improvement contractors register with the Division of Consumer Affairs. The table prints each business’s registration as read on the register in October 2026, and Additional Resources links the lookup.
About This Guide
This guide is produced by Garden State Circle. Hardscaping and outdoor living businesses appear here because they meet the criteria described above — a website or Google Business Profile of their own, crews that do the work themselves, work in these towns or the county, and independence from a national franchise or lead marketplace. That is a test, not a judgment, and it is the only route onto this page. No business can pay to be included in this guide, to be listed higher, or to change what the table says about it. Businesses are listed alphabetically, and every detail in the table was verified against each business’s own website or Google Business Profile, and its registration against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, in October 2026.
Everything under the heading that begins this guide is governed by the rules above, on every guide we publish. Garden State Circle is supported by the businesses that participate in it. Participation pays for our ongoing work: keeping a business’s entry accurate, re-checking its record, and publishing a page of its own details that the business maintains. There is no paid placement in this guide. Participation does not buy a place here, a position here, or anything the comparison table says. Where a row carries a verification date, that is when we last checked that business’s record ourselves. A row without one has not been checked recently — that is a fact about our work, not about the business.
Garden State Circle is published in New Jersey by Tiffany and Jake Slowinski and covers Montville and Kinnelon. Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com. How every guide is made, in one place: how every guide is made.

Towns, builds, certifications and services are each business’s own, taken from its own website or Google Business Profile in October 2026. Registration numbers, registered names, statuses and towns were read on the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs register in October 2026. Not found by us under this name means we did not find a registration under the name the business uses; it does not say the business has none. Certifications are each business’s own statement on its own website, and we have not confirmed them with the issuing body. Not published means the source we read does not say.
