Introduction
My main goal is to give you quality and an attention to detail, giving the best looking results possible. I have 8 years of experience in horticulture and can help in a range of work, serving many needs, from indoor to out. I have a certification in Landscape Design from the New York Botanical Garden as well, should you need alterations or whole redesigns of your garden. Working for established landscaping companies, I had the opportunity to work at high end residential and premier commercial sites, such as The Guggenheim, Empire State Building. Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Javitz Center. My focus is now on using my collective experience to design outdoor spaces that fit the needs of the client and achieve a uniqueness not normally found in conventional designs. I aspire to find a meeting place of the wild and the meticulously designed, the modern but cozy, and the calm yet dynamic. I create gardens with a mind towards ecology and sustainability without losing the beauty and art of contemporary design. Your garden will visually draw you in throughout the year, and last for generations with minimal maintenance. Together we will create a welcoming space that is an oasis and seamless part of your home.

Rob was so helpful advising on the landscaping for our terrace. We are not gardeners and just wanted some simple, low maintenance and hardy shrubs, and Rob was thoughtful about everything, from recommending ilex glabra to where to buy the plants and soil. On planting day, he did a beautiful job and quickly too. Highly recommend working with him.

Roberty was a true professional. Responsive, transparent, and punctual. He came to look at my patio garden, talked through options and pricing, and then we scheduled a work day. He is pricing was fair and stated upfront. It included planting, trimming, cleaning up existing planters, and de-weeding. He also power-washed my patio. In the end, he even came slightly under budget. He did a beautiful job! I'm enjoying the patio as I write this. He's a rare find in New York City, and I will surely continue to use him.

I was looking for some basic backyard sprucing up but once Rob and I got chatting about ecology and his love of native plants I started thinking a little bigger. We ended up turning part of it into a native mini meadow area to attract local butterflies and fireflies. I really enjoyed it this season and am very happy I found him and took his suggestions! I’ll definitely rehire him!

Rob did a wonderful job pruning, trimming, and removing all the shrubs, bushes, and ivies in our yard. He is very hardworking, knowledgeable and easy to work with. His pricing is also very competitive. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great landscaper!
