We loved working with her: she listened to truly understand our needs and wishes, and then added her recommendations in. Carmen also brought in her contractor to conduct the work, ensuring great communication and efficiency. The result is beyond what we had dreamed of, our family is very happy! We recommend Carmen to anyone who wants to make the most out of their yard. kim provenzano2025-03-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an escalating drainage problem in our backyard and needed to discuss options.Carmen was great to work with. She had an amazing contractor and crew.They were very professional and got the work done very quickly. Carmen not only redesigned the space trying to utilize our existing materials but gave us a thoughtful breakdown of options that fit our budget. I cant recommend her and her team enough.This was not a cheap renovation for us but for the first time I can honestly say we got our moneys worth. Fingers crossed we haven't experienced any water issues thus far and were patiently waiting for spring to see all the new plantings bloom.

Her experience in both land and hard scaping created three distinct spaces which all have their own vibe but come together beautifully. We are very happy, and in addition to thinking up more projects for us to work on- she’s now counseling several of our neighbors. She’s a lot of fun- and infectious in her enthusiasm- we highly recommend! Janice Tuchman2024-01-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carmen DeVito has the trifecta of design talent, extensive knowledge of plants and gardening, and good business skills. She was so creative with ideas for our little brownstone backyard and suggested beautiful plants and tiles we never would have known about. She is both attentive to the customer and has good follow-through with contractors. We really enjoyed our garden renovation experience with this wonderful partner!

The luckiest thing that happened this past year was that I connected with Carmen. She helped me update and renovate my backyard from start to finish. Carmen listens really well. She heard what my concerns were and what I was envisioning, and used her expertise and knowledge to make it a reality. She did everything, from the design to the interviewing of masons and coordinating meetings with them to overseeing the actual renovation to selecting the best plants and flowers for my garden. Moreover, she is always available for questions, even after the project was completed. Carmen is a gem, such a pleasure to work with, super knowledgeable, and takes such good care of her clients. Judith Feldman2023-05-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently engaged Garden Cult to redesign my front and back gardens for a carriage house in Park Slope. They were messy, overgrown and overplanted. Working with my landscaper, Carmen DeVito designed 2 absolutely beautiful new spaces for me using existing plants where appropriate, and adding new ones where needed. The results are absolutely spectacular and everyone who has seen the new gardens is in awe of the transformation. Carmen is so easy to work with, listened totally to what I wanted and didn't, and developed a design that makes me want to spend so much more time outdoors. I recommend Garden Cult with 5 stars!! Cameron Espinoza2022-08-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carmen was a wonderful garden coach. She identified all the plants in my garden and gave a very thorough consultation on how to best take care of them. Definitely recommend! Lisa Anzalone2022-06-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carmen created a garden for me that I never imagined I could have. She listened carefully to what I like, what I hoped to get out of a garden, and she gave form to my dream. She combined art and science and even social aspects to create a garden that does everything I want it to, and matches my limited gardening skills. What she did with my humble little space is incredible. She is an absolute joy to work with. Laura Eng2022-06-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I retained Carmen DeVito to create, develop, plan and implement a nice garden in front of our Brooklyn townhouse. We had ivy in the garden for many years and wanted a change. Carmen delivered! We now have a beautiful and lovely landscaped garden with diverse greenery, plants and flowers that catches everyone’s eyes! We are constantly getting compliments from passersby. Ryan D. Matzner2022-05-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My partner and I had an incredibly productive and helpful meeting with Carmen. She had such great answers to questions that had vexed us for weeks. Practical, realistic, helpful, creative solutions to everything we were trying to figure out for our yard. You’d be lucky to work with her!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 12 reviews
