I hired Susan to create a shade garden for a backyard that gets very little sun. The space was a disaster area. Susan came, checked the space out and recommended a large variety of shade-friendly plants and bushes. On installation day, she and her crew came, cleaned up the area and did the planting. The results are spectacular and the before and after difference is dramatic. The crew was polite and we couldn't be happier with the results. read more

Susan came to look at our (large) front yard space. She promptly returned a proposal and estimate - I loved the plan she provided. The communication between my acceptance of the proposal and planting day was excellent (very important to me since my schedule is busy) - there was an unavoidable delay which she promptly let me know about and she provided a new installation day. The workers she brought were very polite, hard working and did high quality work. The plant material she brought was perfect for our space, beautifully varied yet worked well together and in good condition. The final product is stunning - I've received compliments from everyone who has seen it. Happy customer! read more

Susan and her team rebuilt my garden yesterday. They were efficient, cleaned up thoroughly and I'm delighted to have my outdoor space back. I bid this project out with various vendors and she was the one who actually listed to me when I stressed the need for economy and ease of care. I'm a senior and can't do the heavy lifting part of gardening I used to. In addition, I am on a limited income. The fact that Susan listened was major. The space is now lovely and something I can handle on my own with minimal outside help. They were pleasant and went above and beyond in changing a huge eyesore (including trash left by contractors) into a lovely space. Heartily recommend Susan Pollock designs! read more

Susan and her team of helpers transformed my outdoor space into my own tiny slice of heaven in the city. She did an exceptional job planting a garden that has multiple lives and blooms as the seasons change; making it a delight to watch grow. Susan and her team make regular visits for maintenance, which I find myself looking forward to. Whether she's there to tidy up the growth or plant something new, they leave your outdoor space looking picture perfect for you to enjoy. They are quick, professional, knowledgeable, and most of all incredibly talented at what they do. Susan inspired me to do some of my own planting, which she also maintains during her visits. She has cleaned up my planters, which has allowed for new growth that I didn't even know was possible. I've even had TWO gorgeous butterflies come for a visit! I would highly recommend Susan and her team for any sized job! read more

Susan Pollock Designs - Molly's garden with hydrangea and jasmine recommendations from Susan - Landscaping Near Me - Manhattan, New York

Where do I begin. Susan is the Real Deal! She is a professional gardener. Not a "landscaper", dime a dozen. Susan came to our property in NJ to help with relocating plantings and completing sections of our garden that were undone. Her opinion is right on, she listened and made suggestions. We were very happy with the outcome. Our garden was highlighted in the Ridgewood, NJ Garden Club Garden Tour in May, 2016. Everyone was thrilled! The best thing about Susan is that she is interested in and happy to maintain our garden. It's difficult to find a company to come back after the installation. Susan is a pleasure to work with and her enthusiasm for gardening is evident and contagious. read more

How disappointed I am to write this.... I contacted Susan and spoke with her briefly and she assured me that she serves the Bronx. She invited me to send her an email with some pictures of my backyard. I did so. I even followed-up with a voice message letting her know that the email was sent. That was back on April 21. I've never heard from her. Oh well, my hunt continues. read more

Susan has done an amazing job with our Manhattan terrace. She understood our style, color preferences, and has transformed a previously failing space into a magical sanctuary.

Susan and her team did an amazing job on our terrace. Her ideas were exactly what I was looking for and the execution was everything I could have hoped for. We are so happy and look forward to working with her again soon. read more

Susan is the best! I don't know the first thing about gardening, or I should say I didn't know. I went to the nursery with Susan and she gave me an overview of what I want to look for based on my needs, which was, low maintenance plants that are exposed to a lot of sunshine in some areas and others in shade. She also asked me the color scheme I preferred and what my budget was. I got a great education on why and how you can pair plants together and how to maintain them. I've worked with SP for two summers and I cannot wait for the third. I've recommended her to three families in an upscale building that I work in and where there are great terraces. Each job was done beautifully, was well maintained and the customers are thrilled with her services. Susan's demeanor is calm, she's polite and and is a true professional. read more

Susan created a stunning garden on the terrace of my Manhattan apartment. After meeting with me, she understood that I prefer a very natural, not manicured, look, and my color preferences. By planting flowers that varied in height, color, and texture, she created a lovely, free-flowing garden that is an oasis of tranquility in the middle of midtown Manhattan! In addition to her extensive knowledge of plants, her imagination and creativity, she is also a lovely person who is a pleasure to work with. read more

I am very lucky to have found Susan through Yelp. I called her 5/10, met with her on 5/14, and today, 6/8/2016, my terrace garden is finished and so beautiful. Susan is a pleasure to work with. She listened and interpreted what I said, offered her expert suggestions, and then delivered exactly what I wanted. Her staff is lovely, skillful, and easy to work with, and her innovation, professionalism, and style are truly wonderful. I am so happy! read more

We are extremely pleased with Susan's work. We are not interested in involving ourselves with gardening other than to see the results and the results have been beautiful. Besides our garden in back we have a small one in front of the house and on her own initiative she planted blossoms there which are breathtaking, so much so that even passers-by comment on them. In sum, we are really pleased and recommend Susan unreservedly read more

Susan gave us the cedar terrace fencing we wanted at the right price. It is quality and installed to last. Thank you!

I am quite knowledgable about gardening, but decided I need help with planning and planting out my 8th floor terrace. I researched several designers and got different quotes. Luckily for me I found Susan on Yelp. and found Gold and a friend. She is a horticulturist, knows plants and is a good organiser, with teams of great guys who do sterling work. She has a great eye and sense of plant design. She listened to my thoughts and ideas and built upon them with her expertise. Her follow up is also very good. My terrace was planted out in May/June and was beautifully grown in by July. She has created a little paradise here on the 8th floor. Her prices are honest , transparent and competitive. I fully recommend. read more
