Plan the Property Around the Home, Not as an Afterthought
TAKK Enterprises provides landscape design and coordinated outdoor improvement planning throughout Ocean County, Monmouth County, and surrounding New Jersey communities. By considering entries, decks, porches, walkways, gathering areas, planting zones, drainage, lighting, and the architecture of the home together, we help create an exterior that feels more complete and intentional.
A Well-Planned Landscape Connects the Home to Everything Around It
Landscape design is about more than choosing plants. The way people arrive, move around the property, use outdoor areas, see the home from the street, and transition between hardscape and planting all shape the finished result.
TAKK Enterprises looks at the landscape in the context of the building. Entries, porches, decks, walkways, grade changes, drainage patterns, outdoor living areas, lighting, views, and existing vegetation can all influence the plan.
This coordinated approach is especially valuable after a custom home, addition, exterior renovation, or major remodeling project when the property needs to be brought back together around the updated structure.

What really set them apart was their support even after the project was completed. We had a few very minor issues, and they never hesitated to come back out to fix everything — always promptly and professionally — and never once made us feel like we were a nuisance. Their care for their customers genuinely shows.
I can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for high-quality work, great people, and total peace of mind.
It was truly a pleasure working with you on your full downstairs and kitchen remodel. From the initial design phase through final walkthrough, our goal is always to deliver exactly what we promise, stay on schedule, and pay attention to every last detail — so it means a lot to hear that reflected in your experience.
We also firmly believe that the job isn’t done just because the project is complete. Standing behind our work and making sure you feel fully taken care of, even after the remodel, is something we take very seriously. We’re glad we could quickly address those minor items and make the process smooth from start to finish.
Thank you again for trusting Tom and the entire Takk team with your home. We truly appreciate the recommendation and are always here if you need anything in the future.
– The Takk Enterprises Team
"We couldn’t be happier with our home renovation! The team at TAKK reconfigured our second floor to add a third bedroom and move a bathroom, completed a full kitchen remodel, and upgraded two additional bathrooms, transforming our home into exactly what we envisioned. The project was finished on time and within budget, likely due to a very thorough estimating process which included all major trade-subcontractors joining in person during the pre-bid meeting. Communication was clear and consistent, and every question we had was answered promptly. Tom, Andrew, Phil, Jamie, Denise, and Cesar were great to work with. From setting expectations for each step of the project, to suggesting small improvements that make a big difference, their professional knowledge and commitment to quality was exemplary! They were willing to leverage inspiration photos for custom under stair storage and a coffee bar for example, and receptive to other homeowner requests, such as reviewing bathroom tile for variation and color layout prior to installation. The craftsmanship is outstanding, we have been living here for 6 months with no issues; the kitchen is stunning and highly functional, and the bathrooms added a modern, luxurious touch. At one point Phil set the expectations to “trust their process – they (TAKK) want us to love our project and will make sure that we do”. They achieved that promise – WE LOVE IT! If you’re looking for a home renovation contractor, we highly recommend the team at TAKK!"!
UPDATE: It’s a year later and my wife and I are still in awe about how our house has turned out. We still cannot believe that it’s our house. Even better, Google Photos keeps showing us the pictures from “one year ago today” and the photos bring back such great memories of the process. I cannot quantify the gratitude that we have that these are not photos that conjure up stress due to memories of contractor delays, overages and one-way communication. Good vibes only with the TAKK team. Thanks again TAKK!
Tom and the TAKK crew were exceptionally meticulous about keeping our home clean, allowing our family of five to live comfortably during the renovation. Their efficiency and keen attention to detail were impressive.
Now, our new kitchen is nothing short of a dream come true!
The BEST!!!!!!!
Now that we are settling in our new home, Tom will be the first person who I call for all my future home improvements!!!
So if you’re looking for a top notch person…an honest person who does quality work then give Tom a call.
Original Post 2017 - We have been dealing with Tom at TAKK Enterprises Inc.over the last 7 years and continue to be impressed with the quality and craftsmanship he provides. From constructing our 1,200 sq ft addition to recently installing a sliding door in our family room we couldn't be more happier with the quality and fair pricing Tom has provided us. I highly recommend TAKK from small to large projects!!!
Shape the Areas Around the Home With a More Cohesive Plan
The goal is to organize the property so circulation, outdoor use, planting, and architectural features support one another.
Landscape Layout
Develop an overall plan for planting areas, lawn, open space, views, circulation, and how the property frames the home.
Planting Design
Organize planting zones around scale, appearance, seasonal interest, privacy, exposure, and the architecture of the property.
Walkways & Entries
Plan how people move from the driveway and street to the front door, side yard, backyard, decks, porches, and outdoor living areas.
Grading & Drainage Coordination
Consider grade changes, drainage patterns, transitions, and how exterior improvements affect the movement of water around the property.
Outdoor Living Integration
Connect landscape planning with decks, porches, seating areas, gathering spaces, additions, doors, and other exterior features.
Exterior Project Coordination
Coordinate the landscape direction with roofing, siding, painting, doors, windows, custom homes, and broader exterior renovations.
Good Landscape Design Solves Circulation, Use, and Appearance at the Same Time
A strong property plan considers how the home is approached, where privacy is needed, how outdoor spaces are connected, what areas receive sun or shade, how grade changes are handled, and where landscape elements should support rather than hide the architecture.
- Create a stronger front entry sequence
- Improve circulation around the property
- Frame views of the home
- Plan privacy where it matters
- Connect decks and porches to the yard
- Consider drainage and grade changes
- Use planting to soften hard surfaces
- Coordinate lighting and evening use
Use the Property More Intentionally From the Street to the Backyard
Strengthen the Front Approach
Coordinate walkways, planting, entry areas, porch details, and views so the home has a clearer sense of arrival.
Create Better Backyard Zones
Define areas for dining, seating, play, open lawn, planting, and outdoor gathering around how the family uses the property.
Add Privacy Without Closing In the Yard
Use thoughtful placement of landscape elements to screen neighboring views while preserving light, circulation, and usable space.
Finish a Major Construction Project
Bring the property back together after an addition, custom home, deck, porch, or exterior renovation so the site feels complete.
Coordinate Landscape Decisions With Decks, Porches, Entries, and Exterior Renovations
Landscape planning becomes much easier when it is coordinated with construction. Door locations, porch steps, deck stairs, grades, drainage, walkways, utility locations, outdoor lighting, and exterior materials can all affect what should happen around the building.
TAKK Enterprises can consider those relationships during a broader project so the landscape plan supports the architecture and construction decisions already being made.
Site Conditions That Help Shape the Design
The most successful landscape plans respond to the actual property instead of forcing a generic layout onto it.
Sun, Shade & Exposure
How different parts of the property experience sun, shade, wind, coastal exposure, and seasonal conditions.
Grade & Drainage
Existing slopes, low areas, water movement, transitions, steps, and the relationship between the yard and the building.
Architecture & Access
Doors, windows, porches, decks, driveways, walkways, service areas, and the main routes people use around the property.
Existing Landscape
Trees, planting, lawn areas, neighboring views, screening, utilities, and features worth preserving or working around.
From Property Goals to a More Unified Exterior Plan
Landscape scope varies widely, especially when it is coordinated with construction. The process starts by understanding how the property should function as a whole.
Walk the Property and Discuss Your Goals
We review the home, yard, existing landscape, outdoor-use priorities, privacy, access, appearance goals, related construction, and preliminary budget.
Organize the Property Around the Home
Circulation, planting zones, entries, decks, porches, outdoor living, grade conditions, drainage, and major landscape relationships are considered.
Develop the Landscape Character
Planting approach, material relationships, screening, views, lighting concepts, and connections to architectural elements are refined.
Align Landscape and Construction Work
When landscape design is part of a larger project, sequencing is coordinated with exterior construction, decks, porches, doors, grading, and related improvements.
Bring the Exterior Together
The final result is reviewed as a complete property so landscape and construction elements support the same overall design direction.
