Landscaping reviews in Brooklyn, New York

We love C. Brown and the entire crew. They’re the best. They do great work from design to maintenance. Highly recommend!

Her work is amazing, her attitude is even better! Worked with our budget, timeframe, and the space we had. She is a true Brooklyn gem and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

Christina is amazing! She is talented, hard working and so much fun to work with. She worked with us to create a lovely container garden in our backyard. In these early days of spring it already looks great. Highly recommend!

Christina took our rooftop patio from 0 to 100, filling it with attractive, easy-to-care-for plants that aligned with our various preferences. Everything she has recommended and planted—from a young tree, to evergreen shrubs, to annual flowering vines—has thrived. Along the way, she has also taught me (a gardening novice) a lot about how to select plants and care for our garden.

Christina is highly resourceful, adaptable to changing needs, thoughtful in her recommendations and advice. She knew what plants would do well on a rooftop and when they tend to flower, so all spring and summer long, we have an evolving flowering oasis. In the fall and winter, we have evergreens and grasses to maintain visual interest. If that isn’t enough, she is also a delight to work with, with an infectiously positive can-do attitude. She and her crew have always been on time and worked efficiently while here. She even sends me a reminder to shut off our irrigation system for when winter when the weather no longer calls for it.

I recommend her without reservation. Her services are worth every single penny.

I am thrilled by the garden that Christina designed for us. She planted flowers that bloom at different times so the garden changes from white to orange and purple and are native to the area. Because we have kids, she put in plants that attract butterflies and suggested planters with strawberries and blueberries my daughters can pick themselves. She was a joy to have around while she was working and finished the work on schedule. She installed a sprinkler system and at the end of the season called me to make sure I was comfortable with winterizing it. I love my yard.

Christina and her team did a project to replace some Arborvitae in our garden. The experience was excellent, her team was great, and the new plants look great!

Christina has taken care of my patio garden for the past 4 years. She is extraordinarily talented and creative and people are blown away with how the space looks after she visits. I can not recommend Christina highly enough- her prices are fair and her work is incredible. Don’t even think twice before giving her a call- she will make your space look more beautiful than you can imagine.

Christina designed and planted a garden at our home in Brooklyn that we enjoy looking at and being in, and that requires minimal maintenance on our part - just the way we wanted it. In addition to being a tribute to Chris' knowledge of the local growing conditions and appropriate plants, it's also an outcome of her interactive approach and responsiveness to our needs and wishes. It's really a pleasure working with Chris and we look forward to her next visit!

Chris designed and planted our Brooklyn back garden from scratch (including installing a drip irrigation system), working with some difficult existing conditions and sticking to our budget. She's a great listener, very flexible and creative. We love the results and recommend her work to everyone!

We hired Christina to fix up our backyard in Brooklyn, including a new design and deck. She created a beautiful design for us and we were very happy with the results. She has a lot of knowledge and follows through perfectly. When some of the plants fell sick, she came through right away to remedy the situation. I would recommend her!

Chris gave our garden a gorgeous full makeover and continues to check in to answer any questions we may have. She listened to what we wanted and how we’d like to use the space and delivered design options that would suit our needs. She knows her stuff, takes pride in her work and is a delight to work with. We absolutely love our garden and would choose to work with her again.

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!
