Backyard Renovation Recommendation

I am interested in doing a backyard renovation, located in Queens. Does anyone have any recommendations for who to use? Interested in removing two trees, adding pavers, replacing the fence, landscaping, etc. Would like help with the design process too. Want to make it nice. Thanks!

I have used Margaret from
http://www.gardensofgrace.biz/

She can do everything from hardscape with her crew or just do the design work and give you a fabulous plan, ready to go

That’s similar to what I want to do. Did they estimate how long the project would take?

Also, we want to leave 2 feet on each side without pavers for raised planter beds

I get a quote for 1) level the yard 2) move dirt to the back to build a retaining wall 3) new pavers 4) new fence. Labor is $15k. I am responsible for purchasing my own materials.

Curious about ballpark costs too for such a project.
