Sponsored by BRS Backyard Bug Busters ›Hewitt's go-to nursery and eclectic gift shop, rooted in the Greenwood Lake countryside of northern New Jersey.
Tucked along Greenwood Lake Turnpike in Hewitt, Battinelli Landscaping & Garden Center has built a reputation as one of Passaic County's most surprising stops. You come for a flat of perennials and walk out with a gift you've been hunting for months. That combination of serious horticulture and genuinely curated retail is rare, and regulars know it.
The garden center stocks a rotating selection of plants, trees, shrubs, and seasonal color that suits the rugged, four-season climate of the New Jersey highlands. The staff knows what survives a hard Morris and Passaic County winter and what merely looks good at the big-box store before it dies in April. That local knowledge matters.
The gift shop is the sleeper hit. Shoppers describe it as one of those places where you actually find things you haven't seen everywhere else, especially around the holidays. From eclectic home accents to women's clearance finds, it draws a loyal crowd that has nothing to do with gardening at all. Two very different audiences, one well-stocked destination.
Battinelli covers the full arc from bare soil to finished landscape. The nursery side carries annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, and seasonal container plants suited to northern NJ growing conditions. Whether you're replanting a hillside or filling a single window box, the selection scales to your project.
On the contracting side, the team handles landscape design and installation, grading, planting, and ongoing maintenance for residential and commercial properties throughout the Hewitt and Greenwood Lake area. They bring the same regional expertise to job sites that they bring to the sales floor.
The gift shop and garden boutique round out the experience with home décor, seasonal merchandise, and hard-to-find gifts. It's the kind of inventory that rewards browsing, not just errand-running. Stop in Tuesday through Saturday and give yourself more time than you think you'll need.

Both. Battinelli operates as a full-service general contractor in addition to the retail nursery. The team handles landscape design, planting, grading, and maintenance for residential and commercial clients in the Hewitt and greater West Milford area.
The nursery stocks annuals, perennials, ornamental shrubs, trees, and seasonal container plants. Selection changes with the growing season, and the staff focuses on varieties that perform well in the northern New Jersey climate, including plants that can handle the colder winters near Greenwood Lake.
Yes. The gift shop is on-site at 1611 Greenwood Lake Turnpike in Hewitt. It carries eclectic home décor, seasonal gifts, and a women's clearance rack, and it draws shoppers who have no gardening needs at all. It's worth a visit on its own.
Firewood has been available at the location, though customer feedback on that product has been mixed. We recommend calling ahead to confirm current availability and pricing before making a special trip for firewood specifically.
Spring and fall are the busiest seasons for installation work in northern New Jersey. For larger projects like full landscape installs or grading, reaching out four to six weeks ahead of your desired start date gives the team time to assess your property and schedule properly.
Based on customer reviews, yes. The gift shop has drawn specific praise for holiday shopping, with shoppers noting the variety and the ability to find distinctive gifts that aren't available at chain retailers. The selection makes it a practical stop when you're stuck on a hard-to-shop-for person.
