R&B Landscaping is a family-run, fully-licensed landscaping company based in Clark, New Jersey, serving Union County homeowners since 2011. From weekly lawn care to full landscape design, hardscaping, and licensed lawn treatments, we take care of every corner of your property like it's our own.

Meet Rich Thieling, Founder

Rich Thieling - Owner

R&B Landscaping was founded in 2011 by Rich Thieling, who built the company on a simple idea: do quality work, treat every property like your own, and stand behind it. What started as a one-man operation has grown into one of the most trusted landscaping companies in the Clark area — but the standard hasn't changed. Rich is still hands-on, and every crew works to the same standard he set on day one.

Licensed, Certified & Insured

This is where R&B stands apart from a lot of operators. We're not just licensed to landscape — we hold the state certifications required to legally apply pesticides and fertilizer, which many companies offering those services don't actually carry. R&B Landscaping is fully licensed and insured in New Jersey:

NJ Home Improvement Contractor License — #13VH07909700
NJ Pesticide Applicator License — #91546B
NJ Fertilizer Certification — #C00519700

What that means for you: the treatments applied to your lawn are handled by a state-licensed applicator following the law, and you're working with an insured contractor — so if something goes wrong on your property, you're protected. Certificates of insurance are available on request before any project begins.

Our Experience & Crews

With over 15 years of hands-on local experience, we've handled everything from small residential garden refreshes to large property maintenance and full landscape installations. R&B runs 3 to 6 crews depending on the season, which lets us keep weekly maintenance routes on schedule while still taking on design and hardscape projects — without the delays a smaller outfit runs into at peak season.

What We Specialize In

Lawn care & maintenance — weekly mowing, fertilization, aeration, overseeding, and licensed treatments
Landscape design & installation — foundation plantings, garden beds, ornamental trees, and full property redesigns
Hardscaping — paver patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor living spaces
Tree & shrub care — pruning, deep-root feeding, and treatment
Seasonal cleanups — spring openings and fall leaf cleanups
Snow & ice management — residential plowing, salting, and de-icing

Where We Work

Based in Clark, we serve six Union County towns: Clark, Westfield, Cranford, Garwood, Rahway, and Linden. Being local means we know the region's soil conditions, mature tree canopy, drainage quirks, and which plants actually thrive here — and it means fast response times, usually within 24–48 hours for an estimate.

How Our Estimates & Projects Work

We keep it straightforward and no-pressure:

You reach out by phone or through our online form.
We come out and walk the property with you — usually within 24–48 hours.
You get a free, written, itemized estimate. No vague ranges, no obligation.
Once you approve, we schedule the work and keep you informed through completion.
We don't consider the job done until you're satisfied with it.
