We've been using GreenspaceNYC for several years now and our garden has never been healthier or more beautiful.  They have taken care of everything, including pest control, training vines, pruning trees, planting new additions, etc.  They are very professional and knowledgeable.

Amazing from start to finish. They really know everything about all kinds of plants and the ins and outs of urban gardening. The estimate was honest and clear, communication constant  (and detailed) by email and phone and they went above and beyond from incorporating our  wants/tastes in picking what was to be planted, the style of the planters and working within our budget/time frame.  They are always available when we have questions and service our garden regularly.   Cannot recommend them enough!

Came when expected both for estimate and work.

I wasn't here when they did the work, but reports they were prompt and cleaned up after very well.

I'm very pleased with the results.

"Thanks, member! It was a pleasure "mucking about" in your yard, & we can't wait til the next, planting-stage of the transformation makes the garden even more spruced up! Really appreciate your kind words."

Carissa is just the right person for my brownstone garden. She is knowledgeable, very, very tasteful, professional and trustworthy. She understands plants, and budgets, and is an easy person to work with.
Response from Greenspace NYC by Carissa Potenza
"I'm so grateful for your endless "cheerleading" of my gardening work, members. You guys are a joy to garden for, & your garden is just a lovely space to spend an afternoon of work. Thanks!"
