That customer said the garden was installed in September and was still blooming at the end of October, and that Mr Petrow took Facetime calls when they had questions about the garden. A local news site, nhregister.com, has quoted Jay Petrow of PetrowGardens Landscape Design in Westport on the benefits of replacing grass with perennial plants. The company describes its work as garden design using many native shrubs, grasses and perennials, and lists a service area of Fairfield, Norwalk, Wilton, New Canaan, Stamford, Darien, Greenwich and Ridgefield. Its Houzz profile lists fence installation among its services, alongside hardscaping, garden design and planting. A 2022 customer said they were very happy with the work the company did redesigning their backyard. A 2021 customer said Jay took the time to understand the goals of the project, presented a plan, and frequently inspected the landscape to make sure the quality of work was maintained. On Houzz the business shows 22 projects and a 5.0 rating from 55 ratings.
