Find a Gardener in The Bronx

David was amazing—organized, thorough, professional, honest, well-priced and QUICK. Our yard had become an absolute jungle and we thought it would take 3 days to clean up. David did the job by himself in under six hours and it’s like a whole new yard! He came for a site visit initially, and was quickly and easily able to assess the situation and propose a plan and price. He was super easy to coordinate with, and it was less than a week between his initial visit and our newly improved garden! Couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

I can’t say enough about how happy I am with the work Sarah did for me. The small backyard of my Brooklyn townhouse was a mess: chain link fence, ugly concrete patio, wildly overgrown garden (90% weeds), and a rusty steel door where water flooded into my basement every time it rained. I felt like I was lucky to have outdoor space, but I never spent any time there. Sarah was one of four landscape designers I spoke to about my project. I wanted a new patio with room for a table and chairs, a new fence that afforded more privacy than the chain link, a basement that didn’t flood, and most of all a garden full of year-round color and texture that I would enjoy spending time in. One of the designers came in with project that was more than twice my budget. Another cut a lot of corners to stay within my budget—her plans called for a new fence on once side of the garden, but not the other. The third came up with a modern design that really didn’t match my century old townhouse—and it included two different seating areas for a postage-stamp sized yard. Sera, on the other hand, designed a beautiful space that accomplished every one of my objectives and delivered it on time and within my budget: a wonderful cobblestone patio in an intersecting circular design, new wooden fencing to cover the chain link (on both sides!) and a beautiful garden with magnolia and dogwood trees, complete with a programmable irrigation system. In addition to designing the garden, Sarah was onsite to oversee the patio and fencing installation, and came back a few weeks after the planting (during a heat wave in late July) to make sure the plants were doing okay. She even made sure I knew how to prune each plant in the fall and prepare the garden for winter. Sarah has a real artist’s sensibility, and it really shows in the care she took with my project.

If you are looking for a Landscape Designer , I highly recommend Elizabeth O'flaherty , located in Brooklyn , NY. I reside in Los Angeles, CA. and wanted to re-do the landscape in Brooklyn. I told her items I wanted and she sent me a landscape design that included everything I wanted and an agreement which included a starting date and a completion date. Everything looks exactly like the design and was completed as contracted. I am very pleased with the results

This place is the perfect refuge from the city. For full disclosure, I am a member, so I can go any time, but it is open any time a member is there - one of the membership responsibilities is that if you visit you have to open it to the public while you are there, so everyone can enjoy it - which usually includes most weekends and weekday afternoons/evenings when the weather is nice. Becoming a member is easy, too; check out the details on the bulletin board by the garden gates!
