Garden Design Professionals in Thornwood, NY

“We have worked with Aran and his team for several years to completely transform our landscape. Beginning with a very difficult and technical remodeling of our front entrance masonry and driveway that required extensive approvals from town boards and the historical commission. The new approach to the house created a beautiful and elegant approach to the house and was further enhanced with abundant plantings and lighting. We also worked with LandForm partners to remodel, or rather completely rebuild our second story deck, which came out beautifully. We also hired the firm to create a masterplan and richly planted landscape for our vacation home. We continue to invite Aran and the team back year after year to tackle new projects and continue to beautify our land.”

“I met David Katz when I was interviewing landscape architects for a pool and spa I wanted to build on a property I'd recently acquired in the Hudson Valley. I'm a business person myself and very careful when choosing who I work with. Accordingly, I interviewed 5 different architects before choosing to go with Elite. Everyone I met with was talented, but David Katz was on a different level. Whereas others would walk the property and talk about what they thought, after I'd walked the property with David and we had talked, he started drawing. Within 15 minutes, I had a full rendition of what was clearly right for the property. If there were one theme to my relationship with Elite, it would be this--execution. The other architects talked vaguely of being able to get the pool done in 15 months or so. I told David I wanted to be swimming in thee months. He said I was crazy. I asked him if he could get it done. He said yes. Three months later, on the 4th of July weekend, my family was swimming. That's what's truly special about David and the Elite team--they can get the job done, on time, and on budget. Moreover, while I was forced to manage my house contractors daily, I didn't have to even think about Elite. They transformed our property in exactly the right way, and I didn't have to manage a thing. That has rarely happened to me before, and it was fantastic. Shortly after the completion of the pool and spa, I engaged Elite on another large scale project on the property. Just like the pool and spa, it was also done perfectly and perfectly on time and on budget. Elite (and in particularly, Mitch, David's son) continues to service our property and I suspect we'll build something great again in the future. I can't recommend the Elite team highly enough. If you want to do something great, they are your team.”

“I have worked with Tuliptree Site Design for the past 8 years on two homes and have been very pleased with their design and execution. Michael Muschak is brilliant in landscape design and meticulous with implementing his plan. He is great to work with and very knowledgeable. I was impressed to see him follow-up on his work several months after installation. I highly recommend Tuliptree Site Design - you will not be disappointed.”

“Chris is excellent to work with. He knew exactly what it was that my husband and I were looking for. Chris designed us a well thought out landscape and found us the right people to get the job done right! DM”

“Green Jay Landscaping most recently completed a woodland pond renovation for us, complete with waterfall and plantings and including a bog garden for water filtration. We love it! The waterfall is lovely and they stand fully behind their work. Jay has also performed a lot of regular landscaping work for us. We are very happy with the new beds and have used the company since then for all our landscaping and lawn maintenance work.”

“I can't say enough about Tilly. I am an interior designer that works with some of the most high end landscape design firms in Chicago. This project was on a tight budget so decided to give Tilly a try. We were a little nervous because Tilly was a fraction of some of the other prices, but I can easily say they do it all with just as much thought and care as those other guys. Our designer Stephen really got to know our needs and his thoughtful design clearly reflected that. I couldn't get over the quality of the final design materials we ended up with at the end of the process. Plants, hardscape, and a detailed plan and information on it all. Chicago is not an easy climate for landscaping and we were given only plants that thrived in our space and not someone is California's. The experience was a steal and triple the value of what you pay - I can't wait to use Tilly again! - Sara”

“Barbara consulted with us with regard to landscaping for our property. The former owners spent $$$ on extensive landscaping and irrigation systems. Unfortunately, they did not work with a Landscape Architect, and the nursery salespeople provided a layout and selection which looked great when installed but after 10 years has grown in to a point where we have an overcrowding problem which can only be resolved by extensive removal of plantings and reconfiguration. Barbara provided us with a Plan to accomplish this and the result is very effective. I highly recommend Barbara for her professionalism and creative solutions and strongly advise others to use a licensed Landscape Architect as the 1st step when they are considering any updates or changes to their landscaping.”

“As a distributor of landscape equipment and products, we are in a different category from most of the people and businesses Horizon serves as we are a vendor resource for Horizon Landscape Services. Even as a provider, we like to be treated professionally and Horizon does just that. We have observed some of their their client interactions and have drawn conclusions from them. The qualities that we admire in this company are the same that an end user would appreciate: attention to detail, prompt responses, courteousness, quality workpersonship (we are PC!), and professionalism. Those attributes explain why Horizon is a successful enterprise.”

“I highly recommend John Spector if you are seeking the finast quality wood for your fireplace. Wood burns just as advertised clean, dry, only ashes remaining and easy lighting. This our fifth season using John Spector and we plan to use them for many years to come.”
