Testimonials
Our garden had become overgrown. We wanted a significant upgrade, but we had no idea where to start. We needed professional help. A friend of mine introduced me to Carmen DeVito from Garden Cult. She gave us a list of plant recommendations for specific garden areas, keeping most of the existing plants. Adding a little hardscaping, new plantings, and rearranging my exiting plants transformed my overgrown unorganized garden into a spacious and beautifully arranged environment. Carmen is everything our friend said she was. The depth of her knowledge about plants is impressive, and her experience as a well-seasoned landscape project manager was evident by how she managed the landscape team. She is the pinnacle of professionalism in every way. We were lucky to have met and worked with her. If you seek landscape advice, We strongly suggest you reach out to Carmen DeVito from Garden Cult. We are confident that you will be as impressed as we were.
Jaqui and Alfred - Brooklyn, New YorkI have completed two projects with Carmen, one renovating an existing, established landscape and one on a new garden, built from the ground up. Carmen has tons of patience for questions and a demeanor that makes it easy to collaborate with her. She truly works hard to help you work through all the details of a project, from selecting the stone and sourcing light fixtures to selecting the right plants. She has truly been a pleasure to work with.
Lisa E. - Lawrence, NYCarmen does beautiful work, and her designs fit our needs. We were looking for out of the ordinary and a low maintenance all-season design. The plant selection was spot on and she respected our budget and came up with creative and spectacular ideas. I loved the way Carmen laid out the plans so we could see what she was envisioning. We had an open dialogue where Carmen really listened to us, but also held strong to certain ideas and plans that she knew would highlight the property. We appreciated how she took time walking the grounds and making sure every space was accounted for and thought about. Most of all we appreciate how professional Carmen was dealing with our gardener and making sure that everything was planted as per the design. We can’t wait to see the final product and we are so enjoying the process in the meantime!!!
