John and team did an amazing job replacing our dead lawn with drought resistant landscaping. We loved it so much that almost two years later we hired them again to add some trees and a new walkway to our backyard.

All i had a pool issue that one and mean no one wanted to address. Except for John Cohen. As a result of that problem i decided to redo my backyard. I also had many people come out and give me a bid. It was either for the same pool or a concept they have done multiple times at multiple homes. Except for John Cohen. We talked about what i wanted. Modern, sleek with a wow factor. He then came by with a photo of a pool in Acapulco in the 1960/s as the concept and away he went. A baja shelf a fire feature a waterfall commercial pole lights palm trees and his eye on all of the little details. This was not just a pool but a piece of art. If he did not like the work it was redone at Johns expense. He cares and the environment and knows what will grow and work. It was pricy for sure but a one of kind masterpiece that made my backyard into a sleek boutique hotel like backyard. John and his staff were awesome to work with and i would highly recommend him and his staff to redo your pool, to construct a new pool or design a backyard. You will be glad you did.

We highly recommend the Green Pastures Group, Inc. landscaping experts. We wanted our lawn removed and replaced with a stone wash, accented with flowers and boulders. Well, we got the most magnificent result, thanks to John Cohenâ s design and his right-hand man Joseâ s implementation.The myriad colorful flowers are so beautiful, as are the boulders, which look like marble infused with streaks of copper and gold. The stone wash itself flows through the yard and intersects our walkway. They even added new copper drain pipes to match the boulders!

John is BY FAR the most visionary landscape designer that I have ever come across! He took my ideas and added his creativity to produce the most beautiful garden I could ever have. I have worked with 3 landscape design companies with my previous home. They knew plants but they lacked the artistry the part that cannot be taught but rather is a natural gift of talent. While design and vision may be what we desire, installation is as important an aspect of a landscape design company. John’s abilities are equaled by his crew. The project managers (and there isn’t just one), give their undivided attention to the job at hand. They have their own specific areas of expertise and bring their ideas to the table, as well. The job is completely managed and coordinated to a detail that is unbelievable! I work with a lot of contractors as an owner of an apartment building and it is very difficult to find dependable, capable people in all areas of the company. Green Pastures excels in ALL aspects! The “workers” show up on time, work hard every day, and clean up at the end of each day. I won’t mention specific names as I feel every one that was present on the jobsite, whether for only a few days to dig or for the whole project time frame to manage, makes Green Pastures the successful business that it is and one that I will use again for future projects HANDS DOWN!

I received bids from 4 landscape designers. John from GPG was the first. We were unsure of exactly what we wanted to do with our yard as it was a pretty blank slate. John came in and from minute one it was obvious he had a definite vision. The other 3 designers came in and really had us tell them exactly what we wanted even though we were asking for some guidance and were looking for someone who had a creative eye and wouldn't just put in grass and trees. Contrary to everything else in my life, I decided to really throw caution to the wind and let John roll with his vision even if I couldn't personally envision some of the things he had in mind. Im really glad I went with it as our yard is now incredibly welcoming, lots of depth, lots of colors, etc. He really did a great job and all of his employees who I was in contact with at our house were incredibly professional and friendly. You can tell they really love what they do , none more than John though. It is more than obvious that he has an deep passion for his work and it would be hard to find someone more knowledgeable in the field than he is. They definitely went above and beyond for us.

They exceeded expectation in terms of quality of work and doing it in a timely fashion, they were a very good group to work with in terms of my specific job needing changed or modified.

They are very professional and do good work, but very expensive. You pay for what you get for.
