Gerard showed up ahead of time to clean up my gardens and prune my trees in the front and back of the house. He works really fast and completed the job much faster than expected. He's very knowledgeable about plants and soil health issues that affect plants and trees in Brooklyn. And he took away the leaves and pruned branches for me. He's throughly professional, nice, and gets the job done. Highly recommended!

Gerard stopped by to consult with suggestions for our deck and some indoor house plants. He was perfectly on time and super helpful with his ideas on how to get what we want out of the space. He answered all of our questions and offered easy ways to get started. We look forward to continuing our garden work with him and highly recommend.

Gerard was great to work with. He was really responsive and flexible when my schedule changed. He did some plantings for me quickly and beautifully - it made a huge difference in my outdoor space, even brought all the supplies I needed and didn't have. The plants didn't look great when they arrived but a few weeks later they are thriving. He even texted me a few days after the work to let me know I should water things. I would absolutely recommend him for any design or gardening you have.

Gerard is amazing. He was super responsive to my inquiries. We discussed having him rework the plants on our small outdoor balcony and he picked out a great assortment. He was on time they day of and super easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Gerard was wonderful to work with - 10/10! He transformed our patio into a mini oasis with beautiful plants and planter boxes. He was so helpful with all the questions I had, worked with me on a budget, and had endless tips on plant care. Will always come back to Gerard!
