About us
I am a professional landscape designer with a Horticulture degree from Rutgers University. I will design and with an amazing crew install your landscape and garden.
I am very happy with Anne's work. She created a garden and landscaping plan for my entire property. Unlike your average landscaper, she is a true horticulturalist and gardener. Where as your typical landscaper would recommend very common and safe plants (think Home Depot) Anne created a design that was entirely unique, personal and appropriate for my location and style. I found Anne to be very flexible and accommodating yet not without own strong opinions and style. Our work together was a great collaboration and you can't ask for anything more. Highly recommend.

Working with Anne was great! She came and discussed plans with us, taking into account our desires and maintenance skill level, and the plans came out great. Then the install was done efficiently and the workmen were clean. Anne also showed up for the install to make sure it was done according to the plan, which was great. She also stopped by a few times after to answer questions and check on the plants/tree. Thanks Anne! We are very happy with the front yard!

All the work Anne has done for me has gone smoothly. She is always on time, on budget and the job site is always clean. Her work provides me so much joy and no stress to get it done. She is truly amazing
Description of Work: Anne has been my garden designer since 1998. She rennovated the garden in my first home in Montclair. I have since moved and she has designed my front and backyard for my new home. The design was $700 but I will continually have her back to help me implement the design. She is a genius. Her design aesthetic is unparelled. She works harder than any contractor I know and is very committed to her clients. She returns calls and emails in less than 24 hours and is always available for garden advice. She is creative and understands how to use space in a practical way for how I am using it. She is always willing to make changes to the written plan as I come up with new ideas. We have a great relationship and she always welcomes my input. My first home was so beautiful it was on the Van Vleck Garden Tour and I expect this home will be too.

When we purchased our home our backyard was just a plain rectangle of land. Anne Fahey came to us very highly recommended. She created a beautiful landscape design for our backyard while listening carefully to our cost concerns, our maintaince concerns and our general likes and dislikes. She was very approachable and willing to answer any questions that we had during our entire project. She was also very quick to return our calls. Beside delivering to us a fantastic design, she passionately supervised its implementation. She remained on top of her workers who were carrying out her design until the very end. She is down to earth, not afraid to get her hands dirty yet is very classy, sophistocated and knowledgable in her field . Specificallly, she designed our pond and its surrounding plants, bushes,path and flowers. She strategically placed other small trees and shrubs throughout the yard. She created our dream patio and a beautiful path that leads up to it. (She knows of many great paver and rock ideas). She designed the most inviting enterance into our backyard with a picturelike gate and stunning vines and roses .She chose our specific lighting areas and also our retaining wall along with choosing our fence. Neighbors always want to be in our back yard to absorb its beauty and serenity. My backyard is a piece of heaven....and is my sanctuary...

Initially I was very impressed with her and what was going to be done. I feel like she didnt listen to what I was suggesting and what I would like to have done. I felt that she was very defensive when I wanted to have a say in the work that was being done.
Description of Work: I wanted a tree removed and asked Anne if I remove that tree would my other plants be ok with having more sun. Anne said they would be fine. I felt like she was being lazy and didn't want to change the plants. I felt that she didn't do her job to the best of her ability. I had a lot of expectations and I spent a lot of money. I feel like I didn't get the services that I paid for.

Response from Anne Fahey Garden Design & Consulting
I am so sad that this member feels this way. I know she was going through a difficult time at that point of her life and was under a lot of stress. I will always revise plans if it is needed. The summer of 2010 was a drought so all first year plants need extra water and this was difficult for her. Also when I came back to see the garden it was over run with weeds. I do not provide maintenance services although I am happy to explain the maintenance that needs to be done. I did let her know that the maintenance was her responsibility. Again I am so sorry she feels this way and feel free to visit my website www.annefaheygardens.com to see testimonials of my clients who love my work. I would be happy to give you contact information so you can speak with them directly. I am happy to say my clients speak very highly of me and love my work and I enjoying working with them.
