The Greenleaf Lawn & Landscape Team
Chuck Bacon Founder
Chuck Bacon has been building and shaping outdoor spaces for nearly four decades. He got his start in construction in 1987, but it didn’t take long for landscaping to take hold. After being introduced to the industry by a friend, he realized he enjoyed working outside and creating something tangible far more than being on a construction site.
That interest actually started earlier. As a kid, Chuck spent time mowing neighborhood lawns and working outdoors. By his senior year of high school, he was already taking on lawn and landscape work and decided to pursue it as a career.
He went on to study ornamental horticulture along with landscape design and construction at Delaware Valley College. While in school, he continued running his business, building real-world experience alongside his education. That combination of hands-on work and formal training still shows in how he approaches every project today.
What drives Chuck is simple. He enjoys taking a space that has no direction and turning it into something that looks right, functions well, and lasts.
Over the years, that passion grew into a true family business. His kids spent their childhood around job sites, in the yard, and at the office. Joey showed interest early on and wanted to be part of the team from a young age. Emma later joined as well, bringing a fresh perspective to the company. His wife, Jen, has played a steady role behind the scenes, managing accounting and helping keep the business running smoothly for more than two decades.
Today, Chuck continues to lead Greenleaf Lawn and Landscape with the same mindset he started with, focusing on doing the work the right way, building spaces that hold up over time, and creating something people are proud to use every day.
What Customers Say About Working With Greenleaf Lawn and Landscape
Homeowners and property managers across Central NJ and Eastern Bucks County highlight clear communication, dependable scheduling, and a smooth process from start to finish. Many also point to the quality of the work and the attention to detail that makes their outdoor space feel complete.
Know Exactly What To Expect Before Construction Begins
When you know what’s happening next, your project feels easier and more predictable. This process is built to keep communication clear and reduce confusion at every stage.
Your project begins when you fill out a contact form or call the Greenleaf office. Your request is reviewed and forwarded to an experienced member of our team.
A designer reaches out within one business day to begin the conversation and learn more about your project goals. During your initial phone call with a landscape designer, you discuss what you would like to improve on your property and how you plan to use the space now and in the future. You will also talk about general budget expectations and project scope so the designer can recommend the right next steps. If the project sounds like a good fit, your on-site visit will be scheduled, typically within about one week.
Your designer meets you at your property for a 30–45 minute visit to review the space and make initial recommendations. This meeting helps clarify ideas, identify potential challenges, and determine the best direction for the design. For larger projects, it helps to have a survey or plot plan available, along with any inspiration photos you may have collected. Having all decision makers present helps move the project forward efficiently.
For larger projects, especially those involving hardscaping or pools, a custom design brings the full vision of your space together. A design proposal is sent shortly after your visit and is typically around $1,200 depending on project scope. Once approved, your designer creates the plan and prepares a presentation where you review the layout and budget for each portion of the project. Most plans are presented in 2D, with 3D renderings available for an additional investment. Up to two rounds of revisions are included so the final design reflects how you want the space to look and function. During this stage, you will also review options for maintaining your landscape so it stays healthy and looking its best after installation.
When the design and pricing meet your expectations, you meet with your designer to finalize the project and sign the agreement. The agreement outlines the full project price and scope of work. A deposit, typically 25-50 percent depending on project size, secures your place on the schedule and allows materials to be ordered.
If permits are required, such as for pools, approval timelines may take six weeks or longer depending on your town. For projects that do not require permits, work often begins within two to four weeks depending on the scope, weather, and time of year. Once construction begins, the operations manager becomes your main point of contact while the designer stays closely involved throughout the project. Project payments are made according to the agreement schedule. You will also notice the team’s commitment to The Greenleaf Peace of Mind Promise. Work areas are kept organized and maintained throughout the project, with materials staged carefully and the site cleaned regularly so the space never feels chaotic.
When your project is complete, the team walks through the finished space with you to review the work and confirm everything meets your expectations. This is also when the final project payment is due. During the walkthrough, you will be provided a maintenance proposal to properly care for your landscape, and warranty coverage is reviewed. Plants carry a 90 day warranty during the growing season, which can be extended to one year when paired with a qualified maintenance plan signed within 30 days of project completion.
About 60 days after installation, a Greenleaf team member returns to review your property and confirm everything is thriving. This visit allows the team to check plant health and answer any questions about maintaining your landscape long term.
