Little Miracles Designs in Brooklyn

Sasha and his team did great work on our backyard and we're thrilled to continue working with them for upcoming projects. Sasha was very attentive to our requests and specifications, but also greatly improved our plans with his design expertise. Job foreman Carlos is not only a highly skilled contractor, he is also incredibly attentive, accommodating and kind. We developed a great rapport with Sasha, which made it easy to communicate our preferences and expectations throughout the project. We highly recommend Little Miracles for any outdoor projects.

Sasha was wonderful to work with. We pursued a full backyard renovation at our home in Park Slope after experiencing repeat flooding. We knew we needed to do significant work to mitigate the flooding and took the opportunity to redesign our yard to meet our long-term goals as a family. Sasha came in with expertise on how to re-slope, waterproof, and add proper drainage to our property. This was on top of his clear skillset in landscape design. His team was fantastic to work with. Each person involved in working on our property was timely, professional, and respectful of keeping our interior space as clean as possible while bringing backyard material through the house. Sasha was consistently easy to reach, responsive to our needs, and confident in guiding us through a project that began under stressful circumstances (significant interior flood damage). We are thrilled with our new backyard.

Sasha and Carlos did a fantastic job on our terrace! We first got screwed by another company who literally destroyed our terrace and house while charged us double the money. Our building management recommended Little Miracles Designs to help us fixing the situation, and Sasha and Carlos came in the next day. So if you want to work with somebody who is honest, solution-oriented and know it’s business, Little Miracles Designs are the people. Thank you guys!

I was hoping to give Sasha the benefit of the doubt, but I think it's only fair after being hung up on / declining finishing our project that I feel the need to share our entire experience with Sasha for folks to be made aware of the truth. Sasha is a designer with great vision. Unfortunately, he is a terrible business person and consistent with other negative reviews found online, thinks his "experience" designing hundreds of projects allows him to treat his clients like garbage, including missing deadlines, re-negging on promises, and then blaming you for various project failures/issues rather than taking any ownership for his mistakes. We hired Sasha to do a full hardscaping/landscaping project for our 1250sq ft backyard in Brooklyn. We were on what we considered to be a reasonable budget of $50-60k to install a pergola/ platform deck, some custom planters, painting and extending by 18 inches our existing fence, and reshaping our existing artificial lawn. The project was supposed to begin in early April and be completed by early May. The day construction began, he asked my wife and I to make a decision on deck color, paint color immediately - something that we would have assumed he'd have the foresight to ask us well in advance of the project starting. We had to hastily make a decision within 1-2 days, being limited to only what was in stock at the local Lowes. One week into construction, his lead carpenter took a 1 week vacation, which then rolled into a week of rain storms, resulting in a two week delay to the project. There were numerous instances of him trying to take shortcuts, poor ordering planning resulting in further delays (i.e. delivery of Trex deck boards and fence boards), his team not showing up to work on days we had agreed b/c "the weather forecast doesn't look great", his team clocking in workdays of 8am-2pm with a 30min lunch break, and the list goes on. Fast forward to Memorial Day weekend and the project had still not been completed. We agreed to put the plant installation and construction of another planter/bench on hold until this Spring given it was already too hot to plant certain plants/flowers in June 2022. Again, I was hoping to let these prior issues slide if we could simply get our project completed this Spring...which brings me to today. I reached out to Sasha in early Jan to re-engage on the final phase of the project which was not completed last year due to delays. He told me that just doing planting and installing the final bench/planter (pictured empty area next to the grill) was not worthwhile for him and wanted to offload the work to someone else. He re-negged on what he had promised us and we are now stuck with no plants in the $6,000 planter he charged us to construct (which is already starting to warp). Oh he also hung up on us after I expressed my displeasure with his service. I would highly recommend avoiding Sasha unless you want to deal with an arrogant yet incompetent contractor. Paid $58,000 for an incomplete yard built by his 2 man "team" of 1 carpenter and 1 metal worker. I have no doubt he will try to spin the truth with his side of the story in either a response to this review or if questioned by future clients as further proof of his lack of self awareness/ability to hold himself accountable.

We had a fantastic experience with Sasha and Little Miracles Designs. Sasha first helped us to document and expand upon our vision and then went above and beyond to bring our plans to life. We are thrilled with the outcome and the installation process was seamless.

We used Little Miracle Designs for our backyard in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Sasha is an extremely talented designer, able to envision a beautiful space using a blank canvas. He had ideas we would have never thought of and was able to make our space both functional and beautiful. We loved how he presented us with what was possible and quoted each piece of the project. It allowed us to pick and chose what we wanted to do based on our budget, instead of presenting one big price. Plus, working with LMD was seamless. Communication was easy and they got the job done quickly and professionally. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out. We have and will continue to recommend LMD to friends and family!

Sasha is a complete shyster, steer clear unless you want to waste a lot of time and money. I had to chase him for months to finish work which he had already billed for. He still has not completed his contractual obligation. To add insult to injury, planters he had built were falling apart less than three months after installation. It won't be hard to find better.

I wish I can give Shasha the owner 0 start review. Worst experience I ever had. He came took $500 for a hand drawing and promise to come back with more plans. Very hard to reach very hard to bring your vision as well. Came back took another deposit and show us plans( not what we asked) when we told him that we like his plans but want to change a bit a got so upset and said ” you Don't like what I did don't want to work with you!) I wrote to him several emails with no response, I ask for my money back no response. The first experience with a rude person that tries to act like he knows better than anyone else. Don't do any business with this guy or if you want Don't say a ward about what he did and agree with him even if you Don't like it. Zero services zero quality zero in all aspects!! Shame on you Sasha!!!!
