I own a 3-family home in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. I have a rough idea of what I want to do in my backyard & the manpower with which to do it. However, I would like to speak with someone who’s experienced with landscape design to give me some ideas about my project.

My backyard is your basic 20×50 lot. Essentially, I’m looking to slightly change the layout of my backyard (add a shed, relocate the grilling area, etc.), while making the space as low-maitenance as possible and yet maintain some degree of aesthetics.

After 6 years of living at my house, I’ve learned I’m rarely around my house on weekends to have any time for gardening maintenance. I want to do brunch, not yardwork. So before I go & simply cover the whole space with concrete, I was wondering if there is someone out there whom I could invite over for about an hour & talk about creative alternatives.

Can anyone recommend someone like that?

Many thanks in advance.
