Local Lawn Care Company Scape-Abilities Marks 30+ Years of Steady, Certified Service in Scotch Plains

Scotch Plains, NJ (February 4, 2026) Scape-Abilities Lawn Care Services and Landscaping, founded in 1991 by Steve Costalos, is celebrating more than three decades of helping New Jersey homeowners care for their properties with consistency, integrity, and expert guidance. Known for a calm, consultative approach, the Scape-Abilities team supports clients across Scotch Plains and nearby towns with lawn care, lawn treatments, pest control, irrigation, and outdoor lighting.

For Steve, the work has always been about more than curb appeal. It is about creating outdoor spaces that feel good to live in, with healthy lawns, comfortable evenings outside, and the quiet confidence that comes from having a reliable team on your side.

A founder story rooted in pride, education, and long-term care

Steve Costalos started Scape-Abilities in 1991 with a simple belief: homeowners deserve straightforward answers, honest recommendations, and service that shows up the same way every week, season after season. Over the years, that belief shaped a company culture built on professionalism and pride (“SA PROUD”), with a team that treats each property like a reflection of their name.

Scape-Abilities commitment to education and standards is reflected in its credentials, including APLD (Association of Professional Landscape Designers), AOLP (Association of Outdoor Lighting Professionals), a New Jersey pesticide license, Licensed Irrigation Contractor status, Certified Home Improvement Contractor credentials, and continuing education accreditation through Rutgers.

“Longevity is not luck. It is earned,” said Steve Costalos, Founder of Scape-Abilities. “We have grown by doing the basics exceptionally well: clear communication, consistent service, and guidance that helps homeowners make smart decisions for their property.”

One team for the whole property, without the pressure

Scape-Abilities supports homeowners who want a dependable, one-stop partner for outdoor upkeep and improvements. Services include:

• Weekly lawn service (including an eco-friendly, quiet electric lawn care option)
• Seasonal cleanups and fall leaf programs
• Lawn treatments
• Pest control services
• Irrigation service and maintenance
• Outdoor lighting design, installation, and maintenance

Rather than pushing one-size-fits-all packages, the team focuses on practical recommendations based on the property, the season, and the homeowner goals.
