Deer Control

Deer are a beautiful part of New Jersey’s natural landscape—but when they start damaging your lawn, garden beds, and ornamental plantings, they become more than a nuisance. At Brothers Landscaping, we provide expert, humane deer control solutions designed to protect your outdoor investment while maintaining the natural charm of your surroundings.Image

For over 35 years, we’ve helped property owners across Monmouth and Ocean counties safeguard their landscapes with preventative strategies that actually work. Whether you’ve noticed signs of browsing or want to stay ahead of seasonal feeding, our team offers year-round solutions tailored to your unique property.

Understanding the Deer Problem in NJ

Central New Jersey has one of the highest deer populations per square mile in the country. As development spreads into wooded areas, deer are increasingly making their way into residential neighborhoods, commercial properties, and public spaces in search of food.

Without intervention, deer can cause serious and recurring damage to your landscape:

  • Stripped bark and broken branches on young trees
  • Destroyed flower beds and vegetable gardens
  • Grazing damage to shrubs, perennials, and groundcover
  • Soil disruption and compaction from hoof traffic
  • Increased risk of tick exposure and Lyme disease transmission
     

In some cases, a single night of browsing can undo months of landscaping work. That’s why proactive deer control is essential—not only to maintain aesthetics but also to protect the long-term health of your property.

Our Deer Control Services

At Brothers Landscaping, we combine modern deterrent technologies with hands-on landscaping experience to deliver results you can see—and trust. All solutions are tailored to your space, the severity of your deer issues, and the time of year.

Liquid Repellent Treatments

We apply professional-grade, eco-safe deer repellents to shrubs, trees, and garden beds. These formulas use scent and taste deterrents that deer dislike, without harming plants or wildlife. Treatments are fast-drying, pet-friendly, and biodegradable. Most clients choose monthly or bi-monthly applications during peak seasons (spring through winter).

Physical Barriers & Protective Measures

We install plant netting, trunk guards, temporary fencing, and other physical barriers to protect vulnerable areas of your property. These are ideal for new plantings, gardens, or properties located near woodlands or open fields where deer traffic is high.

Seasonal Deer Management Plans

Deer behavior changes throughout the year—so your prevention strategy should too. We provide seasonal service plans that align with migration patterns, mating seasons, and food scarcity cycles. From spring growth protection to winter feeding deterrents, we keep your landscape safe 12 months a year.

Deer-Resistant Plant Selection & Landscaping

As part of our landscape design services, we guide clients on which trees, shrubs, and perennials to plant that naturally resist deer browsing. While no plant is entirely “deer-proof,” some are far less appealing and can help reduce traffic when used strategically throughout your landscape.

Site Evaluations & Custom Strategy

No two properties are the same. We conduct full-site evaluations to assess risk areas, identify active deer trails, and determine the most effective combination of treatments. Our integrated approach considers both immediate results and long-term prevention.
