Ben and his staff at Metropolitan Garden Design have transformed my terrace to a lush garden in the sky! They are so attentive to questions and responsiveness as we adjusted the garden to add more lighting, etc. Was installed in June and can't wait to see what pops up in Spring! Highly highly recommend!

After reading reviews about Metropolitan Landscape Design I decided to try them and echo others as I was delighted with the result. Ben is very knowledgeable, is right there working with his team to winterize a mature garden, clean up and take away a dead tree. They are efficient, friendly, and left the space impeccably clean. I highly recommend them. ---Michele Stephenson - West Side Terrace

We use Metropolitan Garden Design for maintaining our roof top terrace and they are incredible. Extraordinary attention to detail, they work quietly (a thoughtful extra considering the neighbors below!) and thoroughly. Thanks to them our plants are well maintained and as a result they are thriving. I would recommend Ben and his team to anyone who wants to have a lovely, worry free garden.

Ben and his team have been wonderful to work with at our Manhattan terrace. They have been maintaining the garden for 2 years now and always remain professional, responsive, and provide quality work. After using 2 previous landscapers and not being satisfied with the work provided to us, we’ve finally found a landscaping company we can rely on!

I had the best experience with Metropolitan Garden Design. I got amazing astro turf for my patio that brings it to life. The communication was very good - they kept me informed of the order, delivery, etc. I recommend them highly!

Metropolitan Garden Design did an incredible job installing lights on our roof top garden. I live in an UWS co-op and we made major enhancements to our roof with new furniture and plants and we had tons of compliments from shareholders. But once we added the lighting to our plants, everyone was even more excited and complimentary. Working with MGD was so easy, they knew exactly what to do and they were so professional with their work. Highly recommend

Ben and his team installed an entire irrigation system for both of my rooftop terrace gardens last minute before I had to go out of town. So quick and professional, they got the whole order and install done in a few days. Theres even an app you can get on your phone to view and control the gardens water usage with their system. Then they came back to make sure it was all shut down for winter. Really great, quick, amazing service that saved the garden during my time out of town! Not to mention, even when I was home, it has honestly never looked more lush. Will definitely be contacting them for garden services in the future.

Ben was super responsive, had insurance that met my co-ops stringent requirements and found me a hard-to-locate small tree that would fit on my narrow Upper East Side terrace. He took the job that others turned down because it was too small during the height of the planting season. He brought high quality potting soil for the tree, showed up right on time and left everything immaculate. Highly recommend.

Ben did a wonderful job on our terrace. He installed a drip irrigation system and was very responsive to our likes and dislikes as far as flowers are concerned. He returned with some additional plants after we requested them. And it all looks great!

I started working with Metropolitan Garden Design in the spring of 2021 and currently have an annual irrigation contract in place as well as spring and fall garden maintenance. Unlike other vendors I ve worked with in the past, Ben is extremely responsive and pro-active. He reaches out to schedule seasonal irrigation increases or decreases before I even think about it and if I have any plant disease questions he can t immediately identify, he gets back to me soon after with suggestions. There are no hidden fees in his pricing - if you need something extra (eg fixing or replacing drip lines) he ll run it by you first before doing anything no bait and switch techniques here. I d highly recommend giving this company a try if you have or want a low maintenance terrace or patio garden in the city.

I found Metropolitan Garden Design via google along with 3 other vendors. Ben (the owner) was the only one who was responsive and hands on during the biding process, he came onsite to look at the space and made a plan with me right there on how we should move forward. Cost was more than fair, they are not overpriced and Ben does not try to upsell you on equipment and extras that are not needed. I had to actually talk him into upgrading us to a wifi enabled system even though we really did not need it for our small garden. Once work started, Ben and his team were amazing, they removed our old irrigation system, installed a new one with new controls, removed and disposed of some large old planters, set up the wifi features, trained us on how to use them, and cleaned everything up afterwards, lava rocks along the perimeter to cover the piping as well. This was all done in 2 days. I cant say enough about how smoothly this job went, and Ben was here each day to ensure everything was ok. Ben also stopped by unsolicited a couple of weeks after to just to make sure we were happy with the system and to look it over himself. We will be using Metropolitan Garden Design for all future gardening projects. Thank you again Ben and MGD team.

Metropolitan Garden Design has been helping us to maintain the Dog Runs at Carl Schurz Park and have been incredible. From rototilling and adding deodorizer that is safe for our pets to adding and moving surfacing, we have been thrilled with the results. They work with us on our schedule and our budget. Thank you! -Patrick McCluskey, Executive Director, Carl Schurz Park Conservancy

I hired Metropolitan Garden for a heavy duty job - the aeration of the surface of two large dog runs. I have hired them several times because their work is excellent, they are on time, on budget and stay until the work is done. A pleasure to work with. I cannot rate them highly enough.

Fishbridge Park Garden, our local community garden, hired Metropolitan Garden Design to install a drip system last summer. We are hiring him again this spring - did a first-rate job, and is very reliable.
