BTS Landscaping marks 31 years with four Morris County community ties

BTS Landscaping says its support for youth cycling, neighborhood beautification and a Morristown Medical Center fundraiser reflects 31 years of local work in Morris County and northern New Jersey. The Randolph company says the partnerships show how its crews and equipment are being used beyond commercial landscaping.

Why it matters: - BTS Landscaping’s community work shows how a local contractor is tying business growth to volunteer-led programs across Morris County. - The partnerships connect landscaping labor, trail building and event support to youth sports, public space upkeep and health care fundraising. - The company says those efforts have grown alongside 31 years of operating in the region.

What happened: - BTS Landscaping, based in Randolph, said it supports four community programs across Morris County and northern New Jersey: Team Bulldog, the Roxbury Adopt-A-Spot program, Mansion in May and the New Jersey Interscholastic Cycling League. - The company said the partnerships reflect 31 years of local work that began with two lawns in Randolph. - BTS Landscaping has sponsored Team Bulldog, a New Jersey competitive bicycle racing team, since 2010. - BTS crews clean and care for an adopted spot along Route 10 near Eyland Avenue in Succasunna through Roxbury Township’s Adopt-A-Spot program. - The company has donated landscaping services for the grounds at Mansion in May, the designer showhouse and gardens hosted every two years by the Women’s Association for Morristown Medical Center. - BTS Landscaping has also supported the New Jersey Interscholastic Cycling League, the state’s National Interscholastic Cycling Association league for middle and high school mountain bikers.

The details: - Proceeds from Mansion in May support programs and facilities at Atlantic Health Morristown Medical Center. - BTS Landscaping has helped with trail-building efforts tied to NJ NICA programs. - NJ NICA publicly thanked BTS Landscaping and said the company “helped in many different ways over the years, from trailbuilding to storage,” adding that the league would not be where it is “without their constant support and friendship.” - BTS Landscaping started when 11-year-old Brian Shernce went door to door in his Randolph neighborhood offering to mow lawns. - Two neighbors said yes, and the company still maintains both of those properties today. - Brian Shernce is founder and president of BTS Landscaping. - BTS Landscaping is headquartered at 1021 State Route 10 in Randolph. - Founded in 1995, the company serves residential estates and commercial properties across Morris, Somerset, Passaic, Hunterdon, Sussex and Warren counties. - BTS Landscaping’s services include landscape construction and installation, paver patios, outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, landscape lighting, property maintenance and commercial snow and ice management. - More information is available on the company’s website.

Between the lines: - The company is using community partnerships to reinforce a long-term local identity, not just advertise services. - The mix of youth athletics, public beautification and medical fundraising suggests BTS Landscaping is aiming to be seen as a civic partner in the same towns where its crews work. - The emphasis on hands-on support, such as trail work and grounds care, fits the company’s core business and makes the outreach feel operational rather than symbolic.

What’s next: - BTS Landscaping said it plans to keep its current partnerships in place. - The company also plans to continue supporting volunteer-led programs in the towns where its crews live and work. - The ongoing relationship with NJ NICA and local township programs suggests the company’s community involvement will remain part of its regional footprint.

The bottom line: - BTS Landscaping is framing its 31-year history as a record of local reinvestment, with community programs now part of its brand as much as its landscaping work.
