Clinton Hill resident looking for enthusiastic gardener/landscaper...
for total redesign of a town house back yard...........................
-Did Gardel from Gardel's Garden in Fort Greene close his store??
Comments
I use Tom Castimore (Brooklyn Gardens) for my yard work and just think he is fabulous. Down to earth, thoughtful in terms of his planning, and at least in our case did a wonderful job keeping to the style we were interested in.
He works with other folks for things like stonework, etc., but is very reasonably priced and will also help maintain gardens too.
He has done work in Carroll Gardens but I am sure he'd come out to Clinton Hill too. His number is 718-858-7836.

Chuck at Dig was great...just recently landscaped my 20X 40 yard space and cut my concrete in the front for a garden at my home here in Bed Stuy. He has a shop on Atlantic in Boerum Hill. A pleasure to work with and his crew is really nice too. Tell him Dave in Bed Stuy recommended him.

Chuck is great, so is Jonathan Yevin who did Brownstoner's garden a few years back (that's how we heard about him) and is currently designing our Park Slope co-op's front patio in freezing temperatures. Smart, creative, efficient, fast and friendly.

His company is Modern Urban Design.

Agree 100% with Park Slope poster. Jonathan quoted us at a fraction of the other estimates we got and he (and his partner Ryan) did a fantastic job on our backyard. They built a fence and did all the stonework and planting themselves. I highly recommend them: honest, smart, hardworking, and great to work with. Jonathan's number is: 917-692-2054.

Marielle Anzelone at drosera-x.com (info@drosera-x (dot) com) does gorgeous garden landscaping exclusively with plant species that are native to NYC. Invasive plants = bad news, i guess.

Can anybody recommend someone who just does maintenance for a reasonable price? We already have the basic structure in place but we need someone to come out once a month or so and spruce things up, fill holes etc. Any help much appreciated!

I am really good at "filling holes" 5:12. I will even "Spruce things up" for you at no additional charge.

We used a great landscape architect named Tyler Horsley. He helped us completely redesign our garden when we renovated our house this year on Douglass Street. I can't recommend him highly enough. His number is 718 302-5923

Second the recommendation of Tom Castimore. He's done the yard for my brownstone in Cobble Hill since the time of the prior owners. Lovely work and lovely to work with.

Chuck from Dig was fantastic. He did our garden in Ft. Greene -- he had great ideas, a wonderful crew and got the job done on time. We couldn't have been happier with his work. His shop is fab too. Good Luck.

thanks for all the responses.................. looking forward to getting the yard ready for summer....................

Ditto for the comments about Chuck at Dig. Last summer he created a lovely perennial garden in the back of our Boerum Hill brownstone. I also highly recommend his fencework.

The Organic Gardener designed and built our landscape we were very happy with.
