About Us
Celebrating over 40 years of excellence, Nicosia Backyard Design is the brainchild of a multi-generational masonry family and a beautician-turned-artist mother.
Our founder, Tony Nicosia, learned the intricacies of blueprint reading from his general contractor father, while his mother nurtured his artistic inclinations. This unique combination of skills led him to pursue Landscape Architecture, and since 1988, Tony has been at the forefront of transforming central New Jersey backyards into luxurious living spaces.
Whether it's raised patios, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, or pool surrounds, Nicosia has been a pioneer, consistently innovating in the outdoor design industry.
Our Mission
At Nicosia Backyard Design, our philosophy is simple—if you're doing right by your clients, you've got no reason to avoid their calls. That's why we're dedicated to not just answering the phone, but actually being there for our clients, each and every day. Our mission, honed over four decades of top-notch service, is rooted in honesty, humility, and hard work. We're proud of our high standards, and we're transparent about our process.
Our ideas often spring from our homeowners themselves - after all, who knows their backyard better than they do? We're here to ensure that their dreams are translated into a reality that's even better than what they'd imagined. We believe in kindness, patience, and open lines of communication. With us, you're never more than a phone call away from having your concerns addressed. In the end, our mission isn't just to design backyards - it's to create relationships based on trust, reliability, and satisfaction. Your backyard, your imagination, our promise - let's bring your dream to life, one stone at a time.
Why Choose Nicosia?
With decades of experience building backyard patios, we've learned from past challenges and continuously improved our methods. Today, we are confident in our approach to crafting outdoor spaces that will last. Although our meticulous attention to quality and detail may make our pricing slightly higher than the competition, the enduring elegance of our designs offers a return on your investment that far outweighs the initial cost.

With Nicosia, quality doesn’t cost—it pays!

“Nicosia made our vision a reality, we are going to miss the Nicosia team being around. Not only are they great workers, they are great people! The team pushed hard until 630 every night 6 days a week and they were extremely focused on the details. We had challenges with permits from our town / pool company and Tony was extremely accommodating to our schedule. Our patio came out absolutely amazing, Can’t thank you the guys enough, you have a customer for life and a reference any time you need one!”

“Absolutely a pleasure to work with this company! My husband and I just had pavers done in our backyard. Tony was so kind, personable and easy going to talk to! Answered any and all questions we had! His crew as well were so respectful, and efficient. They got the job done in a very reasonable amount of time and they made sure everything was perfect and that we were happy with everything! Which we are extremely happy with the end result!! I would highly recommend them!!”
