“Susan did a great job redesigning the landscaping and entrance to the front of our home. Her new layout for the front walkway is brilliant. Her choice of materials for the deck railing and paving are superb. The shrubs and plants are lovely. We particularly like that they bloom at different times of the year.”

“I'm thrilled with my new front garden design and installation by Emma at A Small Green Space! From initial contact to design to installation, Emma has been fantastic at communication and letting me know each step of the process. She's also a lovely person who is so easy to talk to, work with and professional. Her installation team was efficient and did a marvelous job of first taking out my huge overgrown hedges, trees and ivy. They then installed the new garden complete with pavers, fountain, plants and containers. It's totally transformed the front of my home and made it the nicest one on the block!”

“Of the most professional and skilled landscape architects I have had the pleasure to work with. Attention to detail is exceptional. Creativity is unsurpassed. Would recommend to all without reservation.”

“Greg at VisionScape Design was recommended to me by my landscaper to help design a pool for my backyard, complete with landscaping, pool patio, etc. The project was somewhat challenging, because my backyard is sloped. Greg's design shows fencing, a walkway with steps from the driveway and deck to the pool, as well as steps and a walkway from a covered patio. There will also be a whirlpool on a lower deck, overlooking the pool. Greg's design was perfect, way above what I expected. But what really blew me away was the way he presented the plans. It included a construction plan, a beautiful planting schematic in color with all plants specified, numerous color "photos" showing what the final design will look like from many angles, as well as a video as if you were walking to the pool, with additional perspectives and even aerial views, and views at night. Greg went way above and beyond and did a beautiful job. I highly recommend Greg and VisionScape Design!”

“Iris has been the landscaping professional for both a NY city balcony and an East End home. The balcony is challenging, along the Hudson so very strong winds, and home has a lot of different shading issues to deal with. Iris has been the key to making this all work. First, very thoughtful and knowledgeable on the initial design. Knows her plants and has a good vision of where to go. Second, excellent on execution. Shows up when she says, gets the work done in a timely way, and leaves the place looking great. She is always accessible on email and phone, comes when needed, and has a deep bench of folks she works with. Third, great pride in her work. Comes by outside of necessary appointments to check up on the plantings, and has a critical eye so if something is not right she stays on top of it. For us, landscaping is very important and we spend a lot of time and resources on it, and Iris is a great quarterback for what we do. The forms asks for a project date, but after initially getting to know Iris (and replacing another landscaper with her), we have had her give us seasonal contracts for 2012, 2013, and again will in 2014.”

“Lisa, owner of Mierop Design, is an amazingly talented landscape designer. In 2003, we decided to tackle our lackluster yard. After seeing the results of Lisa Mierop’s designs from friends and neighbors we asked her to view our property and show us a plan. The plans Lisa drew up for the front and back that blew us away. Lisa showed us we can add curves, height, and dimension. She incorporated existing foliage, and added in an artistic blend of flowers, plants, and trees; as well as fencing and hardscaping. Our yard receives nonstop compliments from neighbors and people walking and driving by. For the past several years, as a board member of Van Vleck House & Gardens in Montclair, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lisa on professional level. Lisa has been the keynote speaker for the 2014 Roses to Rock Garden Tour. In 2014 she kicked off our series “Landscape by the Yard,” offering four practical workshops for the home gardener. She continues to support Van Vleck House & Gardens by sharing her expertise with all that attend the workshops. Not only is Lisa a professional, she understands the best plants for your needs. She's passionate about what she does, and it shows in her work.”

“We were putting our house up for sale. Welcome To My Garden spruced everything up - replaced dying and dead shrubs as well as a tree, re-defined the borders, cleaned up overgrowth, and mulched all of the beds. Everything was done in a professional and timely manner. The price was very reasonable considering the size of our property..”
