Garden / Landscape Design
Full Description: Our staff is professionally trained and experienced in all phases of garden design, installation and maintenance. They are a friendly and conscientious crew and always ready to answer your gardening questions. High standards and commitment to servicing your garden needs are evidenced by consistently successful results in the finished landscape.
The company's founder and owner, Patricia Olmstead , received her Certificate in Landscape Design from The New York Botanical Garden. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology and is an ASCP Registered Microbiologist.
She has been in the landscaping business for over twenty years. Her desire to recapture the natural landscape in urban spaces arose from her earlier gardening experiences in the rural midwest. Her skill at designing gardens in the metropolitan settings can also be attributed to a solid base of work experience. Patricia managed a well- known interior landscaping company for eight years; she also handled sales and design at one of New York's largest landscaping firms.
In addition to managing her company, she teaches "Historic Houses" at The New School for Social Research. Her articles about the value and preservation of gardens in the urban environment have appeared in several publications. She was heralded as a model of the entrepreneurial spirit by New York Newsday in April, 1993.
Seasonal plantings such as tulips and mums with pumpkins, evergreen mulches, ornamental kale with cyclamen and colorful branches in cold weather will give your garden variety and sprucing up throughout the year. Holiday items like wreaths, Christmas trees, and specially designed theme displays create a festive atmosphere once the outdoor gardens are dormant for the winter.
We offer one free initial consultation to discuss all aspects of your landscape needs, including budget considerations and ambient conditions of your particular site or micro-environment.
A conceptual plan in writing is provided based on the details gathered at the first meeting. Drawings in the form of garden plans and elevations graphically fine tune the design.
A garden plan may incorporate elements other than plants. We encourage using features such as stone, water, sculptures and lighting. We create successive gardens where there is continuous color from January through December.
Mission Statement: Whether it be home or corporate space, we will create a natural or formal landscape. From a riot of color to a quiet oasis, or the serenity of a Japanese garden, on your balcony, your terrace, roof top or your backyard, we can bring nature into your living room.
Insider Tips: We also provide arrangements for special events such as parties, using plants in containers, props and flower arrangements.
