About
I am very attentive to my clients' needs and their satisfaction is my number one priority. I guide my clients through every step of the design process and I help them to adapt their ideas to the existing conditions. I use my knowledge and creativity to offer budget friendly options that can reduce the cost of the work without sacrificing its quality. My goal is to find the design solution that works the best for my clients.
I like to combine creative, artistic work with maintenance, planting, weeding and pruning. I use my knowledge of landscape design programs to create my projects on the computer and then follow through with the execution of them. I enjoy the process of transforming a bare or weed-covered yard into a beautiful garden.

Working with Ms. Elena and her team was wonderful! When I purchased my home, the garden beds were incredibly overgrown and I felt completely overwhelmed by the amount of cleanup that was needed. Ms. Elena came in with her team and from start to finish they were efficient, hardworking, punctual, and extremely professional. The transformation was amazing, and they tackled a job that seemed impossible with such care and attention to detail. A true pleasure to work with someone who is knowledgeable, dependable, and takes pride in their work. Thank you!

Elena is a miracle worker! She transformed the rather bare area around my house into a beautiful garden, and I could not be more pleased. Her vision about what plants would make sense together and her knowledge of the many varieties of trees, shrubs, and flowers was remarkable. She took the time to explain everything to me (a novice gardener), as she and her team transformed my property. They all worked hard from the moment they arrived and the results show. This is a great beginning and I am looking forward to the next phase! Thank you, Elena.

Elena and her team did an excellent job cleaning out overgrown flower beds, planting new plants and mulching. Elena is a knowledgeable and collaborative gardener. We would definitely hire her for other projects in the future. Highly recommend!

Elena was so great to work with from start to finish. She redesigned my garden area including reshaping it and adding shrubs, plants, and small trees that compliment each other to create a great new look that I've been wanting since moving into my new home. She created a 3D model of her ideas for the project and incorporated my ideas as well. She was very prompt in designing and completed the project and very fairly priced. She was also very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the advantages and disadvantages of including certain plants in my garden. I would definitely recommend Elena for any gardening projects.

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a certificate in Landscape Design from NY Botanical Garden, where I worked as a volunteer for several years. My other experience includes working with several private properties in the NY and RI, as well as designing a garden for the monastery in Russia.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I found my passion in gardening and landscape design when I moved into a brand new house and started transforming my bare surroundings into my dream back yard. I soon realized that I needed professional knowledge to make this dream come true, so I signed up for the NY Botanical Garden's program. There, I not only studied, but volunteered in their numerous gardens and in a few years I received my certificate in landscape design. My passion has lead me to a wonderful career that I hope to pursue for the rest of my life.
