Home Services reviews in Brooklyn, New York

Christina and her team did a lovely job with our backyard. Christina helped us choose plants that would thrive in our quite shady garden, with blooms from spring to fall in colors we would like, etc., and installed a sprinkler/drip system to keep it all alive. Christina was thorough and patient in the planning phase and she and her team left the garden neat and clean when they were done planting. Her rates were quite reasonable. We recommend Christina Brown Gardens without reservation.

We’ve been working with Chris for years! She’s amazing and had transformed our front and back yard into our favorite hang out spots! The work is beautiful and beyond what we had hoped for! Highly recommend working with her and her amazing team!

Christina was such a great person to work on our garden design with. She was always responsive both in terms of communication and listening to our ideas and adapting her designs. She spent time and thought to come up with the right design for our space and our needs and hopes. Her team did a great job with installation and she was available for lots of support during the garden's first year.

I highly recommend Christina and her team, we are so happy with our new front yard! She gave great advice and it was a pleasure (and very easy) to work with her. We now get lots of compliments on our yard, which I wish I could take credit for! I am excited to see our new spring bulbs emerge over the next few months and look forward to working with Christina and her team again.

Chris Brown and her team put together some gorgeous container boxes for my business that have held up beautifully throughout the seasons, have been easy to maintain, and have greatly improved our "curb appeal." Chris was really clear with maintenance instructions and has even dropped by to help with caring for the boxes whenever she's in the area, unasked. Highly recommend!

Christina Brown Gardens has made our building’s entrance, at 10 Plaza Street, the pride of our Prospect Heights neighborhood. As our gardener since 2017, Chris has transformed our bare, stark exterior into a beautiful flower-filled landscape with shaped shrubs framing our entrance, tree beds and containers. She understands our vision and consistently provides plants of the best quality and variety. Every year we have a fresh look and the landscape looks great through every season. She and her team also efficiently take on special projects. They installed and painstakingly painted five large containers, then added evergreens along with annuals providing wonderful new colors, textures and interest each year. Last year, Chris further excelled by assisting with our tribute to a young neighbor's remembrance plaque, surrounding it with brightly colored annuals that reflected the occasion.

Chris is not only a talented gardener, she also is a pleasure to work with. It is an honor to recommend Christina Brown Gardens.

Fast response time. Came in like a superhero and rescued my poor neglected garden in about 24 hours. I highly recommend this team of professionals and will definitely use again! Christina freed my garden from the choking vines that over took it. She spared all the beautiful plants underneath so they can bloom again one day.

Chris and team did an amazing job with my roof deck. I didn't have a great sense of what I wanted, but from the initial consultation she was so helpful providing different options and suggestions, and making sure everything worked with the location (which can get very windy). The plants she selected are beautiful and what I had in mind without being able to describe it well, and the pots we selected together look perfect. She also installed a watering system which is really easy to use and you hardly see it.
The day of the installation, she was on time and communicated well. Her team worked quickly (including getting everything up to my 5th floor walk up!), and were super tidy moving everything through my apt.
All in all, just what I was hoping for-- I can't recommend her enough!

Christina and her amazing team completely transformed our backyard into a gorgeous garden retreat. She really helped to bring my vision of a local plant/pollinator garden to life. Christina helped to pick and source plants, planted everything, installed irrigation, and helped follow up to make sure everything took well. She was sensitive to budget as well. I look forward to continuing to work with her, and to enjoying the garden in warmer weather!

Chris was a pleasure to work with. She is very friendly, communicative and flexible. She was open to my unconventional ideas, while being transparent about what was possible and what makes sense with my location and layout. She was willing to adjust our cost plan fairly to accommodate my budget. She was very conscious of this, which I appreciated and it allowed me to place full trust on her and her employees, which also had very kind energies. Overall it was a great experience, I learned a lot, and I plan to use Christina Brown Gardens for future maintenance and any changes I want to make to my backyard/garden landscaping. Highly recommend!

Great experience all around. The team worked fast and everything came out great!

Jesse and team did a great job on our fencing and planter project. The team was friendly, efficient and the output looked great. Would recommend!

Very disappointed by their selectiveness based on your survey that needs to be filled out on their site. 1) I don’t know what my project will cost so I chose the 11k-30k tier as a starter 2) location I added in Queens. I left them a voicemail as well. No response whatsoever. So unprofessional, this was a word of mouth on one of their existing clients which I definitely let them know as well as to being baffled for not being within Brooklyn/Manhattan & not selecting anything over $30k.

Update: Fast forward few days later called them over and over finally someone picks up. She verified they do not work on projects under $40k and has to be Brooklyn or Manhattan. Her exact words “our projects start at $40k and above”

Then why do you even have a selection for pricing? Your judgement based on socioeconomics is bad enough, just state your projects are only for those spending $100k.

Also for those looking to update their backyards please be sure to shop around. I was able to find a different firm that sources out different teams dependent on materials/look&feel for both my home and Airbnb property for less than $50k. Including an outdoor kitchenette.

Have worked with New Eco on two projects in Brooklyn. Each project went above and beyond our expectations. New Eco provided great value and the team was easy to work with. Highly recommend them.

These guys built the outdoor area for my restaurant and couldn't have been more happy. They were communicative, punctual and the work was done fast and clean. Nothing but good things to say, the price was seemed fair compared to other bids and the work/process along the end product reflected it. Jesse also assisted with ideas and design recommendations from experience which was an extra help.

I contacted New Eco Landscapes after seeing their projects online. We have a small (urban) front garden that needed help. New Eco Landscapes did a superb job from start to finish. At the initial appointment, partner Jesse Terzi suggested possible plantings while keeping our budget in mind. The friendly, professional planting team arrived as scheduled and did a great job. We now have a garden that continues to delight us and our neighbors.

Jesse and his team did a top notch, modern, professional job and did this all remotely from NYC for our property in California. They provided on-time services for our agreed budget including multiple design iterations, material selection, and construction documents. Then, they worked with us to find and interview installers. I would highly recommend them and would be happy to work with them again.

Jesse and his team did a fantastic job with designing and installing planters with trees, shrubs and flowers, as well as irrigation and lighting for our terrace.

The design process went smoothly. they were responsive to our requests and questions. With any home improvement project such as this one, it's great when you're learning along the way as you design, and we thought the interaction was very good: timely responses to emails, quick updates to design renderings and clear communication overall.

The installation was professional; the team was thorough and careful when installing the irrigation system under the terrace tiles and they put everything right back in its place when they were done. Once the work was started and we saw the setup, we realized we wanted to make some changes based on available sunlight. They were accommodating and flexible -- they gave us a bunch of options and it all fell into place.

We love New Eco! They did an incredible job with our original landscaping for our roof decks and we now use them for maintenance and spring/fall cleanups. It is always amazing to see the before and after! And always a pleasure to work with, highly recommend!

Avi, Jesse and the team at New Eco Landscape were great! Consummate professionals, they listened to our vision for our rooftop and designed the space exactly as we asked and made wonderful suggestions for furniture, landscaping (specific plants suited for NY year round climate), and overall layout. It looks amazing and was within budget!

New Eco did an amazing job with our Brooklyn terrace garden. The team was awesome to work with on scoping and installing the project. We really appreciated the commitment to cleanliness, their professionalism, high quality of work, flexibility with changes to the design, and timelines. They left the terrace spotless every day, and we absolutely love the finished product. Completely transformed our space!!
