“Encyclopedic knowledge”
Jeffrey P.
“…an encyclopedic knowledge of plants, his recommendations are appropriate for the native environment…his greatest asset is his ability to truly listen to what we care about and are trying to do–and to respond directly to that. Working with Dave is a pleasure…a true partnership.”

“The results are superb”
Anne S-P.
“We gave Dave a unique challenge…the results are superb. The quality of his design reflects not only his creative talent, but his professional approach to each step of the process.”

“I highly recommend David for your garden and property beautification needs“
Paul C.
“David studied and evaluated a very difficult small corner garden at my home in Harding Township, New Jersey…The condition of the garden for over 40 years had many negative issues …a very difficult nut to crack indeed…My wife a graduate of Berkley in the Arts, with a very green thumb had herself almost given up on its redesign many years before…Dave made his study and made exacting notes on all of the existing issues, including drainage water exits, as well as drainage issues from the roof above the garden…He presented a very conservative tight budget for our discussion and my final approval…Many of the existing plants and flowers from the area and around our property were repurposed making an appreciated savings…The job was completed in record time creating a beautiful, easy to maintain garden that stayed under budget...I highly recommend David DePodwin for your garden and property beautification needs.”
