Why Landex

Two generations. Forty-plus years. One honest yard.

Landex is a second-generation, family-run working nursery — not a big-box garden center — that’s supplied Monmouth County for over 40 years. Much of what we sell is grown and finished right on our Freehold property, which means healthier, better-acclimated plants and prices that cut out the middleman. Homeowners, landscapers and contractors are all welcome.

“Every human being has something of value that they bring to the table.” The philosophy behind our family business
  • Grower-direct value. Buy straight from the people who grow it.
  • Real horticultural advice. We’ll help you pick the right plant for sun, soil & deer pressure.
  • Wholesale & retail. One tree or a full landscape job — we’ve got you.
  • Local delivery. We deliver throughout the region — just ask for a quote.

How we do business

Straightforward, grower-direct, and fair — here’s what to expect when you buy from us.

📦

Bulk & volume pricing

Orders over 100 units earn a 3% discount. As one of Monmouth County’s steady volume suppliers, our everyday prices are already grower-direct and fair — so the bulk discount is simply a thank-you for big projects, not a sign we’re trying to clear the yard. You’re always getting healthy, well-grown plants at an honest price.

💧

Plant care & our policy

A new planting lives or dies by its watering. Once a plant leaves our yard, watering and ongoing care are the caretaker’s (customer’s) responsibility. Because a plant’s survival depends entirely on that care, all sales are final — Landex offers no warranty and no returns, as stated on your receipt. We’re always glad to share planting & watering guidance before you go.

Useful information

Plant smarter

A few guides from the yard. Tap a planting challenge to jump straight to matching plants.

🌳 How to plant a tree
  1. Dig wide, not deep. The hole should be 2–3× the width of the root ball but no deeper than the ball is tall. The root flare should sit slightly above grade.
  2. Free the roots. Remove the top of any wire basket and burlap, and tease apart circling roots on container stock.
  3. Set it straight and backfill with the native soil you removed — no need to amend heavily. Firm gently to remove air pockets.
  4. Water deeply and add 2–3″ of mulch, kept a few inches off the trunk (no “mulch volcanoes”).
  5. Keep it watered through the first year, especially in summer — deep and infrequent beats light and daily. This watering is the caretaker’s responsibility and is the single biggest factor in whether a new plant thrives.
💧 Plant care & our policy

New plantings need consistent water to survive. Once a tree, shrub or plant leaves our yard, watering and ongoing care are the caretaker’s (customer’s) responsibility. Because a plant’s survival depends entirely on that care, Landex Nursery does not offer a warranty or returns — all sales are final, as stated on your receipt.

We genuinely want every plant to thrive, so we’re always happy to walk you through proper planting, placement and watering before you leave. Deep, regular watering through the first season makes all the difference.

🦌 Deer-resistant plants

No plant is truly “deer-proof,” but hungry deer tend to pass these by. Great picks include Green Giant arborvitae, cryptomeria, eastern red cedar, boxwood, juniper, spruce, barberry, bayberry, catmint, coreopsis and ornamental grasses.

🌥️ Shade-tolerant plants

For those tricky low-light spots, lean on hosta, astilbe, coral bells, andromeda, aucuba, hydrangea, holly, boxwood, rhododendron, azalea, cryptomeria and liriope.

🌊 Salt-tolerant plants

Near the shore or a salted driveway? Tough, salt-tolerant choices include eastern red cedar, bayberry, rugosa rose, juniper, yucca and inkberry holly.

🍂 The advantages of fall planting

Fall is one of the best times to plant in New Jersey. Warm soil with cool air lets roots establish without summer heat stress, autumn rain means less watering, and plants spend the dormant season settling in — so they wake up next spring already established and ready to grow. Selection is strong in fall, too. Plant any time the ground isn’t frozen, and water well until it is.
