As a new homeowner, Denise was extremely helpful to my confusion and concern over what do to with my poor conditioned back yard. She over extended herself with loads of information pointing me in the right directions. I’m very grateful for the help and information even before following through with any work!

Originally this area was an open space full of junk. I envisioned being able come back here and turn it into a place of serenity and peace. My husband and I tried to do it as a DIY project, but it soon grew beyond what we could handle. A friend recommended that I check out AJM Earth, where I met with Denise. She asked if she might offer a suggestion and came back with some designs that were stunning. I realized that there was no question, we just had to start from scratch. Her first sketch was spectacular. It was exactly what I wanted; what I’d seen in my mind’s eye, but alas, we could not afford the price. Denise said she’d go back and try to work within my budget. She returned with a second set of sketches that again, just blew me away. Her idea of the rain-wall was far less expensive than the water feature in the original design. It was wonderful. It was something I had never thought of. It was unique, dramatic and so very, very distinctive. From that point on, it was the only thing that belonged there. This project began with me totally scattered. I had a vision, but no idea how to make it a happen. It was well beyond my expertise. Through my words and pictures, AJM Earth captured my vision and turned it into reality. As a psychotherapist, I have to see what other people see in their own mind. When it comes to art, this is what I needed and what other people need. You can have an idea in your head, but to get it to become reality is the challenge… AJM Earth is the company that can do it for you.

Pond Installation & Garden Bed: "We recently had Denise and Joe of AJM, replace a backyard water feature with a new, expanded pond/waterfall feature. At first we weren't sure we wanted to take on the expense, but Denise and Joe presented us with a stunning design, as usual, one too good to pass up. And then, with a few minor adjustments, they worked with us to make the cost affordable and we gave them the green light to proceed with the project. In less than a week, they transformed a dirt pit into an elaborate backyard paradise. We have worked with them continuously for the past 3 years in transforming the rest of our outdoor space and once again, they brought the same great design sense, dedication to detail, and pride to this project. Whatever they do is a labor of love. They care deeply about making you happy and strive at all times to meet a high standard. Then they follow up regularly, long after the project is complete, to make sure that everything continues to go well. It's been a dedicated, caring partnership. We got very lucky when we found them and remain in very good hands." Mark Stamford, CT

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our prices are on a per project basis and can be an all inclusive package or a per hour installation.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each client is worked with closely, developing the vision as we walk off the property, taking photos and developing sketches to bring that vision to life. Some have no idea what they are looking for, others have the vision and we make it happen. But each client is as involved as they want to be, and are kept informed every step of the way.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My husband and I have owned and operated our excavating business for 35 years and my husband holds a home improvement contractors license for just as long, licensure is not available or required in excavation. I have worked in the landscape design/horticulture professionally with our family run business for the past 5 years, and have been an avid gardener for decades. I have received my tree & shrub pruning training thru the New York Botanical Gardens and my certification in horticulture and landscape design from the New York Botanical Gardens.
