Home Services reviews in Brooklyn, New York

Jarema and Adam of Dirt Queen NYC transformed my backyard garden into a relaxing oasis for entertaining and daily enjoyment and perked up my front plant bed to be a lovely complement to my townhouse stoop and entrance. It was such a good experience every step of the way. First, they listened carefully to my goals, ideas, and budget. Then they followed up with a backyard garden proposal that took everything into account including my desire for mostly native plants that require less maintenance. They even helped me think a couple years into the future about how the backyard would evolve over time. They were extremely attentive and open to feedback throughout the process. On installation day, they were on time and efficient, following up with care instructions. They continue to be responsive and helpful as questions come up and the plants develop further. I'm excited to continue working with them next year as we bring the garden spaces into Phase 2! I can't recommend Dirt Queen NYC enough!

Amazing team, amazing work. We love Dirt Queen! Jarema and Adam were extremely flexible and helpful, and made our backyard absolutely gorgeous. Any future outdoor work we plan on using dirt queen

We've been working with Dirt Queen for quite a few years now in our office and I've always been so impressed! They really stepped up when we moved to a new office last year and made it look super lush and cozy with the greenery. Jarema has a wonderful eye and I always trust her vision!

We had an amazing experience working with Jarema and Adam and their team. The process went so smoothly from beginning to end. It started with a meeting to talk about our goals for the backyard as well as our budget. They delivered a couple of design options based on our initial feedback as well as our site specific conditions. They were so thoughtful about every detail, paying close attention to the specific shade conditions in our yard, the location of big roots, where we needed privacy, and the recommendation to remove an invasive species of tree that was causing problems for our yard. They were so easy to collaborate with and very flexible and open to our ideas.

Once we nailed down the design direction, they shared options for specific plantings and were again very open to feedback about what we did and did not like (we liked 99% of what they suggested!). They also made furniture and lighting suggestions to pull the whole space together. When it came time for the build, they hired a team of hardscapers, who were also amazing to work with.

Jarema and Adam were present on site during the build to make sure it was executed to plan and addressed any issues that came up in the field. They also coordinated the installation of lighting and an irrigation system. The actual planting also went so smoothly. They brought in trees, plants and shrubs, incorporated some potted pieces and even relocated one existing flowering tree we wanted to keep. The result is beyond our expectations. Our previous yard of dirt that was unable to grow even one blade of grass is now a thriving and magical garden oasis. We absolutely love spending time in our backyard. It feels like our own private botanic garden.

Jarema and Adam are also maintaining the garden and have taken care of it beautifully. It’s so exciting to see all the different textures and colors and see different plants flower at different times so there is always something interesting to look at. They were just so thoughtful about every detail, and it really shows.

We are so grateful and could not recommend them more highly!

I worked with Dirt Queen to redesign and install the garden in my Brooklyn townhouse. They were communicative and professional throughout the whole process. They guided the way from design through material selection, extensive demo, hardscaping, planting, and irrigation. I appreciated the unique and modern aesthetic they brought to the design and materials. They also helped connect me with excellent contractors to complete parts of the job they didn’t handle themselves. It has been a pleasure to see the garden come to life as the plants grow. I would wholeheartedly recommend them for landscaping design and installation.

It’s so frustrating bc I love this garden center and have bought beautiful plants and a large Japanese maple in the past. However, I’ve tried to visit three times on a Saturday around 2pm and they’re always closed! The website, phone message, and Google says open. Does anyone know their real hours? I can’t reach anyone on the phone either.

Very happy with the work. Highly recommend.

Heavenly experience. Can't wait to go back and buy everything!!

I love the venue space , dope environment for any type of party

Beautiful selection of plants both indoor and outdoor.

Great space! Awesome plants and really friendly team

Good selections with affordable pots. Owner was very helpful and friendly.

Poorly run business. They don’t even open during their listed hours. Don’t bother trying, it’ll probably be closed.

Really wonderful place for an engagement party. No running water though and only a porta potty

Magical space and amazing variety of plants. They were very helpful with great recommendations

i love this spot! such a beautiful layout/setting, and very friendly and knowledgable staff. would recommend to anyone.

Although just a little bit pricey, this is an enjoyable spot with lovely plants. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Great selection and VERY helpful and patient staff. My partner and I know nothing about gardening and they were very helpful and informative.

Great place! They have a lot of very pretty plants, both indoor and outdoor and the employees are very friendly

All the plants purchased did not last the season. They told me free delivery and then regene. I spend over three hundred dollars.

I have been completely ignored by this Company. Mr. Edward came to my home, by appointment, in order to provide me with an estimate for an idea/plan for my front yard. Everything ( so I thought would be fine). I waited for Mr. Edward's reply/estimate. However, I never received any reply even after I made numerous calls to simply find out the status of my estimate. I had no problem being patient, but to be
totally ignored is unacceptable and unprofessional. My appointment was in mid April, it is now May 16 and I still have not received a single returned call. In my most recent attempt to get a response about my estimate I felt that I was rushed off the phone. I was told that they are "very busy." I can even understand a business being busy this time of year. However, that has nothing to do with treating potential customers with respect by handling them in a professional and courteous manner. Not to mention a timely reply. Also, I live in the same community and zip code of the business. It's sad and unfortunate to be treated in such a poor manner. I hope others will not be ignored like we were.
