EXCLUSIVE: Aaron Rodgers adds new privacy driveway to $9.5million New Jersey mansion one day after tearing his Achilles – before cops and fire engines are seen outside the property
Construction work to fortify Aaron Rodgers’ New Jersey mansion began Tuesday hours before police and firefighters checked the property – a day after the New York Jets quarterback ruptured his Achilles tendon.
Rodgers, 39, bought the stunning $9.5 million home in the summer as he began settling in New Jersey ahead of the start of the NFL season.
In photos exclusively for DailyMail.com, dozens of landscaping crews descended on the house to get to work in the front garden on Tuesday.
Hours later, emergency services were seen outside the property with fire trucks and police cars with their lights on, parked in the driveway and road, in photos for DailyMail.com.
Two firefighters were spotted walking through the driveway, while a police officer exited the front door of the mansion.

Two firefighters were spotted walking down the driveway after checking the house
They checked something in the home before leaving the building after about 20 minutes.
A spokesperson for Cedar Grove Police told DailyMail.com that the call came from another property down the street and that no fire had actually broken out.
Earlier in the day, a Rodgers car was seen leaving the building, but it was unclear if the quarterback was inside.
The former Green Bay Packers star appeared to add an extra level of privacy to the home earlier in the day as workers built a rock wall surrounding the property.
New posts have been added to the driveway to make way for a new privacy gate, which opens and closes when Rodgers leaves or arrives at the property.
In August, sources told Dailymail.com that Rodgers had purchased an eight-bedroom, 10-bathroom mansion. According to property records, the home sold in late June for $9,500,000 — just a small portion of the former Green Bay Packer’s $75 million deal with the Jets.
Located in Montclair, New Jersey – just a 20-minute drive from MetLife Stadium – the home offers panoramic views of the New York City skyline.

Dozens of gardeners came to the house to work in the front garden
The house has a sleek and contemporary design with windows on the walls that let in plenty of natural light.
An open floor plan seamlessly combines indoor and outdoor living space – perfect for entertaining guests or entertaining evenings.
The master bedroom is an epitome of luxury and features a spa-like bathroom and walk-in dressing room.
The gourmet kitchen features high-end appliances, custom cabinetry and a large center island with bar seating.
And his new home has plenty of room for guests with seven additional bedrooms, all of which are generously sized and feature private bathrooms and custom closets.
The veteran quarterback purchased the home as he began settling in New Jersey ahead of his first season with the Jets, which came to a halt Monday night.
Rodgers’ debut was over almost as quickly as it started, after he was forced to leave the game after just four goals against the Buffalo Bills.

The 39-year-old Rodgers left his Jets debut after just four snaps when he tore his left Achilles tendon
The quarterback suffered the injury when he was sacked by Leonard Floyd minutes into the game
Minutes into the game, he dropped back on first down from the Jets’ 43-yard line and attempted to roll out to his left before being sacked by Leonard Floyd for a loss of 10 yards. But his left foot appeared to get stuck in the Jets’ grass as he was being tackled.
He appeared to injure his left ankle and immediately went to the medical tent before being carted off the field.
After an MRI scan Tuesday, it was confirmed that the four-time MVP had ruptured his Achilles tendon, ruling him out of the season.
Zach Wilson came in against the Bills and led them to a 22-16 win, but the Jets must now decide whether to rely on the 23-year-old to start the remainder of the season or bring in another veteran quarterback.
