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.

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!

Dirt Queen has been a pleasure to work with. The whole team, from the design, implementation, irrigation, and follow-up has been wonderful. Cannot say enough good things about them. They listened to what we wanted during the design phase, made recommendations and implemented the project (plants and irrigation) on time and as promised. Would recommend highly without reservation.

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!
