Hi, I'm a landscaper in Brooklyn and I can come take a look. Check out the garden that was featured a few weeks ago.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I was very happy with the outcome and our garden owners selection of the maiden grass was a great touch for the patio. I can be reached at 520 904 3927 or email at jeffsecor@gmail.com
Enjoy
Jeff

My company does hardscape (pavers, stone, etc) and could help with light landscaping. We're located in Park Slope and would be happy to come and estimate.

I sent an email to GroundworksGardens.com last month after seeing them featured on the HGTV.com site. They are the only landscapers I saw on there from Brooklyn. They won a few Design Star challenges for doing brownstone backyards. Both the owners responded immediately to my email and wanted to come out and see the space. I told them I would contact them again when I moved in because I hadn't yet closed on the house back then. Now that I am in I have found so much work to do on the interior that my yard will have to wait.

Their website is worth a look! When I'm ready I am going to call them in for an estimate.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer.
The board recruited a landscaper the day I contacted you but I keep your contacts preciously.

To the orginal July 10th Poster with the backyard, if you still need help, Holly, Wood and Vine (www.hwandv.com), may be able to help. You don't say if you need any plantings? We are based in Manhattan, though, not that that's a problem (I hope!).

Very small companies probably can't handle the labor/construction part of the job easily - possibly that is why some have not responded. Did you give them a budget to work within, or do you need an idea of what it will all run to?

Despite the slowdown economically our firm has been about three times as busy as we were last year. Can't explain it. Puzzling but good.

Give us a call if you'd just like some info, too.
