Their team, including Robert and Dennis, has proven adept at complete terrace garden rebuilds.

Regarding garden maintenance, NY Horticulture Group demonstrates efficiency and diligence. They are prepared to undertake significant tasks, such as stripping ivy from a three-story townhouse with a repelling team from the roof. Their work ethic emphasizes thoroughness, as evidenced by their complete site cleanup, leaving no trace of debris.

The Organic Gardener NYC's approach to soil preparation and planting expertise is notable for its focus on rooftop environments, as seen in their work on a 2,800 sq. ft. rooftop garden renovation. This project involved the intricate coordination of city and building approvals, a task handled in conjunction with their collaboration on an extensive interior renovation. Their expertise extends to selecting and installing plant material suitable for elevated urban settings, integrating it seamlessly with the overall design objectives of such projects.

Regarding landscaping quality and garden maintenance, their performance has yielded mixed results. For one rooftop project, the team delivered an "exceptional experience," collaborating effectively with professional landscape designers. However, another client reported persistent issues with their work on an outdoor apartment space, necessitating subsequent repairs. This included addressing problems with masonry on exterior walls and the condition of an exterior overhang.

Punctuality was an area of concern for a client who engaged Timothy Osborne/The Organic Gardener for a comprehensive interior and exterior renovation. The contract was ultimately terminated due to a failure to complete the job and a protracted period of delays and broken commitments, which resulted in an unfinished project and additional costs to rectify the situation.
