Judd Mandell

At ESPJ Construction, Judd Mandell designs landscapes that are both beautiful and functional, crafted to enhance each property while respecting the natural environment. His work invites birds, butterflies, and admiration, using native plants, custom rockwork, patios, and pathways to create spaces that are sustainable, low-maintenance, and uniquely personal. From rain gardens that manage water naturally to one-of-a-kind wood carvings and sculptures, each element is thoughtfully designed for lasting impact.

Judd is passionate about creating world-class, resort-style backyards—what he calls “Resource Resorts.” These spaces blend natural beauty with local character and sustainable luxury, offering opportunities for relaxation, learning, and connection. They often include elements like gardens, outdoor kitchens, permaculture zones, and spaces for physical activity, the arts, and shared meals.

With over 35 years of hands-on experience and a degree in Environmental Planning and Design from Rutgers University, Judd brings deep expertise and creativity to every project. His background includes work on embassy and commercial landscapes, co-founding a successful landscape company, and earning certifications in sustainability and decorative concrete design.

Judd Mandell is an expert in creating beautifully balanced, sustainably planted landscapes. His passion lies in transforming ordinary yards into artistic, resort-inspired environments that grow more beautiful over time.
