"We love it"

"They just finished the work on our house and it is beautiful. They ripped out our old 30+ year old overgrown front landscaping and replaced it with new smaller slow growing more colorful bushes. We love it and have gotten compliments on it already. They also redid our slate walkway and cleaned and repointed our front stoop which added to the new look of the front of our home. They showed up every day rain or shine. And we will be using them again for additional work."

"Ginkgo Group did an amazing job"

"The Ginkgo Group did an amazing job transforming our 'once boring' ranch home into the front yard of our dreams. Dennis' creative eye for well-designed landscaping instantly improved the curb appeal of our home.

His work included a walls of trees for privacy from the road and a beautiful lavender walkway. The shrubs, plants and flowers he chose really created a tranquil feel to what we currently had around the property. Dennis is very responsive and the crew's attention to detail was superb. After the job was complete, he even followed up to make sure we were pleased and if we had any questions. I will definitely use Gingko for my all landscape projects."

"A great experience"

"We had a great experience with Ginkgo group when we decided to add some curb appeal and replace our dated concrete walkway from the driveway with pavers, extend our porch and add a new walkway from the sidewalk to the front door. The result was more than curb appeal it was a complete transformation. Many of the neighbors have stopped by to compliment the work. Couldn’t be happier with the result."

"Perfectly executed"

"After interviewing a total of 3 landscape designers, we had chosen Ginkgo over the other 2 firms. Ginkgo was very down to earth, and not your typical sales firm just trying to sell a project. They were very unique in thought, and extremely educating with ideas and knowledge as to what needed to be performed for a perfectly executed outdoor design process.

Our project was completed a little over a year ago 2017, and we couldnt have been more happy with there work and implementation with collaborating all of our ideas together to make it happen."

"One of the most honest and caring people"

Denny is one of the most honest and caring people I've met. He is fair priced and very knowledgeable. You can tell he has a kind heart. He listened to what I needed and helped with various suggestions- since he is the professional we went this his suggestion. He was tentative in making sure everything went right and followed up with me on everything from questions to coming back and checking the work they did. He was mindful of our budget and stayed within it. During the project he made sure not to go over the property line (which PSEG owns) and worked within the thought space he had.

I will definitely be hiring him again for more future projects and I found my landscape guy! They are hard to come by and he's one you'll be calling back over and over again.

"A knockout design"

"I highly recommend Denny and his company for landscape design and construction. Prior to hiring Ginkgo Group, I interviewed Denny and two designers from other companies and told them what I wanted in a backyard renovation. All three provided me with a design for the renovation, but Denny was the only one who truly understood what I wanted. He presented me with a knockout design that led me to hiring Ginkgo Group. From that point on, Denny and his employees carried out the project exceptionally well, including listening to my concerns and addressing them, and making changes that I requested (there were many). I especially appreciated Denny's commitment to communication. In fact, I have never, ever met a designer/contractor who responds to texts as quickly as Denny. He answered every single one of my questions promptly (and there were many). It's clear that Denny makes an effort to deliver exceptional customer service. Please look at the pictures of the project, which included a new hardscape design and new trees and plants. I am quite happy with the result and certainly recommend Denny for your landscape project."

"I am very pleased"

"I am very pleased with the job Denny and his crew did with my rooftop garden. I live on the 6th floor and there are not a lot of options that would allow the garden to be maintenance free as as well as beautiful. However, we did achieve exactly that! I have included before and after pics."
