Seeking backyard lanscaping and design

We have a smallish brownstone backyard in Cobble Hill, and would love to hire someone to provide overall design consulting (not just landscaping). Not even totally sure what we want — just know we want to do something. Any recs for good services?

Hi, I am a garden designer and would love to offer my services.  I am just finishing a backyard in Cobble Hill in the next couple of weeks (about 95% done.)  We could meet and discuss your goals. Marie-Helene ediblepetals@about.me
