Gerard (Brooklyn Plant Dad) was amazing to work with. He cleaned up our messy back yard and came up with a great plan for our Spring plantings. He was very responsive in communication and prompt at appointments. The end result is really sweet, a bunch of cheerful flowers and whimsical plants. He was also considerate of working within our budget. We are super grateful and will be calling on Gerard again!!

Details: Residential • Maintain an existing garden • Extra small (less than 1,000 sq ft) • No, I need help buying plants • I don't need a sprinkler or drip system installed • As needed • Leaf cleanup

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!
