Vladimir was extremely helpful and professional with providing his services. I brought a floating wall shelf from IKEA that was too long for the space that I needed it in. Vladimir was able to cut it nice and neatly! Cant even tell that it had to be modified!! He also assembled a storage cabinet. And by far the hardest (heaviest) installation was the floating entertainment center. He hung it up in the wall seamlessly! I definitely would hire Vladimir again for any project I have in the future.

We recently had a pergola installed by Banks Flow (aka NC Quick Fix, as apparently they are doing business under multiple names on here?). The pergola was not installed properly on our patio at 90 degree angles and thus our pull-down screen wouldn't work. Vova and his partner were able to fix the issue in just a couple hours of work and were very professional and communicated wonderfully.

We had been searching for designers who could truly understand us not just make it pretty, but meaningful. Hortus was a gem of a find. Yana and Vladimir are true artists. They didnt impose their vision; they listened and brought ours to life. They considered everything how we live, where we like to sit, how the sun moves, what scents we enjoy. This wasnt just landscaping it became a living space that brings us joy every single day. Thank you for putting your heart into every corner of our garden

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Vladimir for the incredible work he did on the landscape design of my property! Every stage from project development to implementation was handled professionally, with great attention to detail and my personal preferences.The transformation is amazing: well-planned zoning, lush lawns, and a perfect combination of plants and decorative elements. I especially appreciate how the lighting conditions and soil characteristics were consideredeverything looks healthy and blends beautifully into the overall design.The work was completed with high quality and on time. Its clear that Vladimir is a highly skilled professional with great experience and a keen sense of aesthetics. My property has now become the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature!I highly recommend Vladimir to anyone looking for top-tier landscape design services!

Wow the most important thing for us was that Hortus Flora had an amazing vision for how to resolve the situation. That level of insight is very rare these days. Vlad is the best he doesnt just answer questions, he immediately offers thoughtful solutions and alternative options.A reliable company with great people and an incredibly hard-working team. Thank you for an excellent experience.

How I Estimate Project Costs
I provide a transparent and fair cost estimate based on your specific project needs. My process includes:
1️⃣ Initial Consultation – I discuss your goals, preferences, and project scope, either in person or remotely.
2️⃣ Site Evaluation – If needed, I visit the location to assess site conditions and potential challenges.
3️⃣ Detailed Breakdown – I calculate material costs, labor, and additional expenses to ensure accuracy.
4️⃣ Clear Pricing – You receive a detailed estimate with a breakdown of costs, so there are no surprises.
5️⃣ Final Approval – Once you review the estimate, we can adjust details as needed before starting the work.
I prioritize fair pricing, efficiency, and quality to ensure you get the best value for your investment.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new customer, I start by discussing their needs and expectations, either over the phone or in person. I assess the scope of the job, provide a fair and transparent estimate, and explain the process. Once we agree on the details, I schedule the work at a convenient time. I complete the job efficiently, ensuring high-quality results, and follow up to make sure the customer is satisfied.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a degree in Civil Engineering from the National University of Science and Technology MISIS (Moscow) and certifications in Forensic Structural Engineering (Higher School of Economics) and Thermal Treatment in Non-Destructive Testing (Bauman Moscow State Technical University).
