"We simply love our garden! Your design really maximized our small space and made it a thing of beauty. The lovely plantings, the artful design, the wonderful water garden and japanese garden all make going into the garden an almost spirtiual experience. We are tremendoutly pleased and grateful to you."

--P. Mann, Urban Gardens - Project 4



"Keith Davitt was first hired by my co-op to design and construct the garden area in the front of our building. Because of the spectacular results, I knew I wanted to have him do the same for my private garden.

Keith spent a great deal of time understanding how I utilize the garden based upon my lifestyle. Living in an urban area, I wanted a space that was tranquil where I could entertain small, intimate groups. Keith translated that into a perfect design that is a true reflection of me.

This project required extensive construction including brick and stone planters, cedar fencing, lattice and arches and a water garden. The quality of the work is superb with great care given to every detail.

It was a great pleasure working with Keith. I think I was very fortunate in finding him and glad he agreed to take on my project. Aside from the beauty, I think I most enjoy hearing my friends gasp when they see the garden for the first time. I truly thank Keith for creating such a wonderful "retreat".

--L. Deiro, Urban Gardens - Project 7



"Dear Keith,

It has been a real pleasure working with you on our gardens. You have always been accessible and reliable. Most importantly, you have an incredible passion for your work and it shows in everything you do...your design, construction, planting and follow through.

You took the time to translate our general ideas into very specific and detailed plans that began to bring our garden alive. You made suggestions for improvements throughout the entire process - never settling until the outcome was perfect!


We loved our backyard garden so much, we asked you to do the front garden too. We could not be happier with both!

Thanks to you and your very professional crew!
"

-- M. and P. Swetow, Urban Gardens - Project 11



"Working with Keith was a real pleasure. And the resulting garden was a makeover worthy of a television show! A once dilapidated lot has been transformed into a lush urban oasis. I'm from the South, but live in Brooklyn and was thrilled to see that some of my favorite plants, flowers, and trees were suitable for my garden and that Keith chose them for me. He even chose one that has my name! My garden is my favorite place in the house! "

--S. Slaughter, Urban Gardens - Project 13

" I love my patios and gardens and water gardens. People are always amazed when they come over and the wedding receptions I have had here have been all the more memorable because of your work. So thank you very, very much.                                                                                     S. Nilson - Suburban & Rural Landscapes - Projects 3 and 7
