Introduction
My main goal is to give you quality and an attention to detail, giving the best looking results possible. I have 8 years of experience in horticulture and can help in a range of work, serving many needs, from indoor to out. I have a certification in Landscape Design from the New York Botanical Garden as well, should you need alterations or whole redesigns of your garden. Working for established landscaping companies, I had the opportunity to work at high end residential and premier commercial sites, such as The Guggenheim, Empire State Building. Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Javitz Center. My focus is now on using my collective experience to design outdoor spaces that fit the needs of the client and achieve a uniqueness not normally found in conventional designs. I aspire to find a meeting place of the wild and the meticulously designed, the modern but cozy, and the calm yet dynamic. I create gardens with a mind towards ecology and sustainability without losing the beauty and art of contemporary design. Your garden will visually draw you in throughout the year, and last for generations with minimal maintenance. Together we will create a welcoming space that is an oasis and seamless part of your home.

Rob was fast and professional. He got our place in shape in time for our wedding. The guests commented on how nice the garden looked and the plants he put in lasted the rest of the summer.

Robert really knows his stuff. I had a barren 250 square foot private outdoor space. Robert transformed it into a lush garden with annuals, evergreens, flowers, and delicious herbs and veggies. Highly recommended.

Robert made himself available on short notice to help me resurrect my garden from the debris due to construction next door and recent removal of their scaffolding. He worked on leaf removal/ planting and garden design - all in a matter of a few hours! He is knowledgeable, insightful, hard-working and pleasant. I will definitely book Robert again.
