Gardens By Design

I wanted to reduce maintenance in the yard, basically to reduce lawn area to cut, and plant low-maintenance plants in the beds. When I spoke to Bebe about what I was looking for, she developed a great design that met my needs and would also provide color and interest throughout the year. Bebe has been great to work with, all work has been done professionally and thoughtfully. Vic and Louis are hard-working and reliable. I always knew what would be happening next, when they were going to be working on the property, etc. I highly recommend Gardens By Design for their professionalism and quality work.

I wouldn't recommend this company. They didn't even respond to emails after the initial consultation that I paid for. They ghosted me after taking my money.

Gardens by Design of Connecticut, LLC delivered exactly what I hired the company to do: transform my small, suburban backyard into a pollinator and plant paradise. My backyard started as drab and Bebe, Vic, and their crew made it fab. I asked them to take out all of the grass and install a stone path and patio, as well as stepping stone paths. Bebe suggested that we move the patio away from its original location near the garage to give the it airflow and make it cooler. It was a great suggestion. I wanted a color-filled space that would attract pollinators. I asked for drought resistant flowering perennials, shrubs, and grasses and Gardens by Design delivered. It is now the third summer with this yard (the work was completed in September 2019) and the space looks wonderful. Everything is flourishing. Bebe knows plants, that's for sure. She has an eye for plant design and knows how to mix textures, shapes, colors, and heights. Vic knows stone work and excelled in that aspect of the job. I couldn't be happier with the space and would happily hire the company again.

While driving through town, a newly completed landscape project caught my eye. Right in front of me was a garden that immediately invoked a unique and thoughtful design, something I’ve always hoped to see at my own home. Fortunately, the designer had placed a sign on the property, and I was in luck! I contacted Bebe from Gardens by Design three years ago, and it was clear from the very start, she and Vic are in a league of their own. In addition to being very knowledgeable, talented and having an expert eye, Bebe and Vic are wonderful to work with. They take pride in their work and have transformed our gardens in the most wonderful way. Bebe’s use of color, variegated foliage, and layout produce year-round color and beauty. Once our first project was complete, Vic would check on our plantings, making sure they were healthy and being properly watered. Vic not only expanded our irrigation system, but he taught me how to program the controller. He was also readily available to assist with questions as they would arise. In addition to their stunning design skills, they also offer maintenance services above and beyond any I’ve used before. They have since done multiple projects for us, and we continue to use their maintenance services. I highly recommend Gardens by Design. Bebe and Vic will make your garden dreams come true.

We hired Gardens by Design to landscape our front yard. We loved it so much we had them back for the backyard. Bebe & Vic were a pleasure to work with. They were very professional &thorough. When one of the tress died after a year, they were back to replace it quickly & without any hassle. We just sold our house &know the beautiful landscaping helped immensely. We had so many comments about the beautiful curb appeal. We have loved our gardens for several years & know the new owners will also. Many thanks to Bebe & Vic. We highly recommend them
