Gardener
Does anyone have a recommendation for a gardener to do clean ups and maintenance? No real landscaping.
Thanks

I've had good experiences with Bill Fidelo (http://billsgardens.com/) and Julie Cummings (http://www.juliecummingsurbangardener.com/about.html).
Julie is low-key and knowledgeable. Bill has a long up-front meeting with you to really clarify your goals and expectations and has a skilled team of people to do the work.

for what it's worth, i interviewed a number of gardeners and julie seemed the least willing to do standard clean-ups and maintenance. that is, she said she'd do it but was going to charge a pretty hefty hourly fee and basically suggested we find someone less specialized (and less costly) to do it.

If you are willing to hire someone who is not licensed you can ask my sister for a quote (she is the super for our building and does gardening for them). She has worked previously for the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and also ran a small landscaping business a couple summers ago in Brooklyn. I think she is very reasonable. Let me know if you are interested.
