“Little Miracle designs does its name justice. They transformed my dark and unattractive yard into an amazingly beautiful space that has added a new room to my brownstone. A true miracle. I cannot say enough about the professionalism of this company. They work with you closely, they listened to what you want and then they dazzle you with ideas. And this allows every single one of their projects to be unique. They adapt to your aesthetics, but provide you with guidance and options given their vast experience in working with small, and not so small, exterior designs projects in the Tri State NY area. The outcome is truly better than what you expected. The execution is fantastic. They are very detailed oriented and perfectionists. They know how to solve problems fast and in a cost effective way. When we first contacted Little Miracle Designs we had a very small project in mind. But when we sat down with Sasha, their CEO, who by the way gives personalized attention to all of his projects, we knew that we have found the right person to commit to a complete renovation of our yard. Today, we can say we were absolutely right. There is no one out there that can do what Little Miracle Designs does. As a result, we have not only gained a beautiful yard, but truly another room to our house that has increased the value of our property by more than the cost of the project.”

“Robert Khazzam designed our rooftop garden in early 2014, and the installation was completed in fall of 2014. He did an amazing job and my wife and i have been absolutely thrilled with the result. We came to Robert with only some preliminary ideas of what we wanted out of the garden. He developed a beautiful design that absolutely transformed the rooftop. The design made great use of the existing space, using curved plant beds to separate the space into two different areas, but keeping a flowing, open feel to the entire roof. He was very receptive to our thoughts and suggestions as the design progressed, but added a number of features that we hadn't thought of and integrated all of these features into a unified design with a polished, professional look. Robert had a very deep knowledge of the plants that were included in the garden. He included plants that worked very well for the climate and location, and as a result the plants have absolutely thrived. He intentionally included different layers of plants that bloom at various times from the spring to fall, so we've been fascinated to see the garden constantly change as the seasons evolve. He also had a thorough understanding of the requirements for installing the garden, so that the installation went very smoothly and the finished garden matched the design perfectly. My wife and I had looked at options for finishing our roof for years, and we have often commented that we never thought it would turn out as well as it did. I would highly recommend Robert for designing a garden or outdoor space, and we're very grateful for the work he did for us.”

“Iris has been the landscaping professional for both a NY city balcony and an East End home. The balcony is challenging, along the Hudson so very strong winds, and home has a lot of different shading issues to deal with. Iris has been the key to making this all work. First, very thoughtful and knowledgeable on the initial design. Knows her plants and has a good vision of where to go. Second, excellent on execution. Shows up when she says, gets the work done in a timely way, and leaves the place looking great. She is always accessible on email and phone, comes when needed, and has a deep bench of folks she works with. Third, great pride in her work. Comes by outside of necessary appointments to check up on the plantings, and has a critical eye so if something is not right she stays on top of it. For us, landscaping is very important and we spend a lot of time and resources on it, and Iris is a great quarterback for what we do. The forms asks for a project date, but after initially getting to know Iris (and replacing another landscaper with her), we have had her give us seasonal contracts for 2012, 2013, and again will in 2014.”

“Allison took our large, grassy side and backyards and made them into wonderful, usable, gathering, sitting, dining, planting areas. We used and enjoyed our backyard more in the past year, than we did in the prior 25 years. Thank you Allison.”

“Nick and his team do a fantastic job and are very professional from start to finish. Nick laid everything out and his timeline was exactly as promised (even with a two-day rain delay). I highly recommend GreenCity Design and I will use them for future projects.”

“My experience with Michele Madonna design was near perfect! her enthusiasm and professionalism made our project a great success. I have and will continue to recommend and use this company..”

“We used Evan to design our penthouse garden back in 2015. It's beautiful, lush, architectural and gives utility where previously there was none. Evan's company has been coming back periodically to take care of it and have done an outsiding job. I can't recommend them enough!”

“Sacred Garden has been tremendous. From design to planting to maintenance, they have surpassed our expectations. I would recommend them to anyone.”

“We recently moved into a Brooklyn brownstone with nothing but a patch of dirt in the back yard, and after a few consultations with other companies we hired Brook Landscape to create a green backyard space. Having recently dealt with a slew of different contractors and experienced the usual contractor issues, we were definitely wary of yet another one. Here's how it went (short version: BROOK LANDSCAPE DOES INCREDIBLE WORK): SCOPE: 80' x 20' backyard. Leveled ground and installed substrate/foundation, flagstone and cedar decking, cedar steps, reclaimed slates for pathways; created multiple green areas with trees, shrubs and grasses, installed automatic irrigation system. DESIGN: We went through several iterations of Brook's original design, which we liked but wanted to fine-tune. Brook was very responsive to our needs/concerns, and tailored his design to our budget, while actually giving us more than we asked for (and surprising us with features we didn't even know we wanted). COST: Because Brook has done a lot of high profile design work, we were ready for a steeper quote, but the cost was well within our expectations for NYC (and lower than a number of other estimates); after the job was completed it felt like a bargain. EXECUTION: Flawless. The crews were knowledgeable, detail-oriented and conscientious to a fault; they showed up exactly when they said they would, from initial measurements with Brook's two architects, to final touch-ups by the carpentry and landscaping crews. They cleaned up every single day and in general performed like professionals who love what they do (big shout out to Brian L, Brian G, Scott and John for the amazing work). Job was completed ahead of schedule, and Brook did a post-completion walkthrough to check the work. We were thrilled overall with the results, and plan to hire Brook Landscape for Phase 2 of our backyard project early next spring.”

“I hired Louis Contino Landscaping for a large scale project. The project entailed design work, grading, masonry, outdoor kitchen, landscaping, irrigation and plumbing. From start to finish the project was amazing. Lou managed everything and helped us navigate all of the decisions. The workmanship is top quality. Lou and his team were professional throughout the entire process. Starting with the quote process, Lou detailed all of the work and outlined timing and billing. His quote was 100% accurate and there were no surprises. His design work was fantastic as well. Once the house started, Lou and Juan team were on time and meticulous in everything they did. Lou even put in tons of extra hours meeting with other subcontractors to ensure their work met his plan and worked into overall design. I will definitely be using them again. Great work all around.”
