Greenspace NYC by Carissa Potenza

Description of Work: Carissa herself called me within the hour. Her business doesn't provide the services we needed but she put me in touch with several other vendors who specialize in that field. She was friendly and very helpful. I would return to her listing for future use.

Description of Work: I was very excited about the chance to have my landscaping done by Greenspace and am disappointed that they refused the job. Carissa came out and did a very thorough walk through with me to sketch/measure the space, talk about what I wanted and take pictures of existing plantings. I was looking forward to seeing her proposal and quote but instead she sent me an email declining the job. She said that the cats who live in the backyards on my block create a health hazard with their waste and that she does not want her employees to dig/garden in that contaminated soil.

Description of Work: | |I had weeds in my back yard that was taller than me, and needed to be cut down before they overlap into my neighbor yard. I wasn't able to do the job myself. What I really like about the Owner- Carissa Potenza, she was willing to work around my busy schedule. Once her team arrived, they did an "Outstanding," work. |

Description of Work: To create three plots in front of a co-op building.

Description of Work: prepared garden for winter, planted bulbs, pruned

Description of Work: This experience was a positive one although I didn't use her services because a friend of mine offered to do the work. She gave excellent suggestions, recommended other professionals do to deck and plumbing services. I felt she was knowledgable and a reliable landscaper.

Description of Work: They designed, installed various plants/trees/flowers, the planters and irrigation system for a small outdoor space.

Description of Work: Developed an overall plan for the garden; when price was beyond budget, made sensible reductions. Cleared up messy, under-tended backyard area, leveled soil and replaced borders. September: plantings Extremely flexible about getting work done; totally reliable about carrying out plans.

Description of Work: Carissa is a consummate urban gardening professional. First she assessed the garden and provided recommendations for a skillful colleague who specializes in automated irrigation systems. The colleague installed an excellent system and a reasonable price, working closely but independently of Carissa's business. Then I asked her for a dream proposal and several alternatives. She promptly gave a proposal that while reasonable was more than I was wanting to spend all at once. I asked for a more modest proposal to start which we would build upon throughout the year. She came back with exactly what I wanted. The garden looks full and great, and I plan on making this an ongoing relationship to continue to develop and maintain the garden over time. We have been doing that and I am most pleased with the results.
