Garden Advice
We need quite a bit of help with our garden and are clueless as to where to start. The garden needs to be regraded, a wooden fence needs to be installed, a tree pruned and we would like to put some grass and some stones. Can one company do all of this? Can anyone give me a recommendation?
Thank you for your help!

I'm working with Chuck at Dig, who can do all of this. Not sure how it will turn out in the end, but I do know that this is every hort persons busy season, so you will be at the back of the line.

Billie Cohen has done a very nice job designing and coordinating our front yard, backyard and roof deck. She's made them the best spaces in the whole house!

I also reccomend Chuck at Dig on Atlantic ave. He did a wonderful job on my garden. He regraded, custom built a fence on-site, and created a second patio in the back of the garden out of large pieces of blue slate he found burried in my yard. The whole project came out better than I imagined it would. Price: about $7K without any plantings. He will work within your budget and he is a very nice guy. Check out his site www.gardendig.com.

I have a Landscape Design company- Sustain Landscape Design. We have been in Brooklyn for a few years now and have done a number of Brooklyn backyards.
Our focus is on sustainable gardening so we incorporate things like native and drought tolerant plants and rain water harvesting systems into a lot of our projects.
You can read more about us at www.sustainlandscapedesign.com
Although, as one other poster pointed out, this is our busy season so we may not be able to get started on your project for another 4 or 5 weeks.
Thanks so much,
Nicole

If your tree is small, i.e. can be done with hand tools, I would be willing to help you at no cost with that. I have over 7 years experience working with trees, especially fruit,have recently moved to the area and be happy to be helpful.

Hi- I can do most of what you are asking. (I do not do fences but have contacts to great wood workers) I have a new garden design and install business here in Brooklyn. Urban Gardens. I have tons of urban garden experience from working with a few of the best gardeners in New York.
I work on an hourly basis, plus materials and delivery. Would love to come by and go over the project and give an estimate.
Here is a link to my website.
