She is a pleasure to work with, is open to discussing all ideas, is flexible about plant placement and is a really good listener. In two days, she and her great crew turned 12 years of my gardening mistakes into the garden of my dreams! The transformation was truly astounding and I still can’t quite believe it. I wish I had called her ages ago and I will certainly call her to take on any future garden plans I may have. I know the results will be better than I had ever thought possible! > > Thank you Ronni for creating order and beauty out of utter chaos! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you so much, this is an extremely generous review! You were delightful to work with...it’s always a pleasure working with a client who truly enjoys the garden as much as I do! Can’t wait to see the garden next Spring and Summer! ### All 67 reviews **★★★★★ — Betsy Denny, June 2026** > Ronni is a joy to work with! She loves her work, and it shows! She listens and communicates well. She is knowledgeable, bringing in excellent contractors for irrigation, tree, and lawn professionals. She knows the local municipal folks and coordinates with them as needed. She has high standards for the trees and plants in her designs and will seek out multiple sources to find the best specimens. We highly recommend Ronni Hock Garden and Landscape! **★★★★★ — Mary F deFlaun and Steven Rudnick, June 2026** > Ronni Hock was able to take our very vague concepts for what we wanted our property to look like and translate them into a beautiful and cohesive landscape. The work, including that by her subcontractors, is of the highest quality at a very reasonable cost. We are very pleased with the result and would not hesitate to recommend her. **★★★★★ — Colin & Nathalie, Nov. 2025** > Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape is the best of the best. From start to finish, we received the highest level, most responsive, and friendliest service. Ronni visited our property, listened to our thoughts and needs, and then created the perfect project plan. We found that she was more detail oriented and concerned for the project results than even we were, tweaking things as the project went along in order to bring the plan fully to life. The workmanship of Ronni's team and the ultimate results are top quality. Ronni transformed our property and our landscaping and garden are stunning. Important for us has been the follow up attention to ensure our garden is flourishing. We highly recommend Ronni. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Wow…..this is a beautiful, very generous review! Your project is one close to my heart! > You shared what was most important with the project, and I was thrilled that you both embraced the design. I cannot wait to see this garden in the spring and summer of 2026! I will take photos to share next year. **★★★★★ — emp, Sept. 2025** > The bottom line is that we would highly recommend Ronnie Hock Garden and Landscape and would happily work with them again. Ronnie is a pleasure to work with and created a lovely new space for us. > > Our project was to redo the front walk and improve the plantings around it. Ronnie’s design for the front walk, both expanded it and made the space into a beautiful, welcoming and graceful entrance to our house. We have found ourselves just sitting out on the entry terraces enjoying the space, something we had never even considered before this renovation. The plantings are equally lovely, adding new types and shapes of plants, while blending beautifully with our existing garden. > > Throughout the process, Ronnie checked with us to get our input, incorporated our ideas where possible, and explained her rationale for the choices she made. She was clear on timing and her people showed up when expected, were friendly, did a great job and left the garden looking beautiful. > > We also worked with her preferred irrigation and lighting contractors, who provided excellent service and a seamless experience for us. **★★★★★ — HU-892077221, June 2025** > Ronni is the best! She listens to what you want, stays within budget, and surpasses all expectations. She’s easy to work with and creates gorgeous landscapes. Ronni is the complete package. **★★★★★ — Elm, May 2025** > Ronni and her team (led by Ludin) are a pleasure to work with. I asked her to design a regency type garden for me à la Bridgerton and she delivered. She cautioned me not to expect results right away as a garden takes 3-5 years to mature but after just a month in it looks fabulous. > I would say Ronni is not just a landscape designer she’s an artist with an eye for beauty. She truly listens to her clients and works with them to give them the garden of their dreams! **★★★★★ — Karyn Weber, Jan. 2025** > Our project included a complete overhaul and replacement of our entire property's landscaping and hardscaping. Ronni was also significantly involved in the coordination and execution of our new pavilion construction. Ronni's design was fabulous, as she brought fresh and innovative ideas we never would have thought of without her. Her team of landscapers and masons was exceptional. Not only was their work top-notch, but they were also a pleasure to have around. Ronni kept everyone on schedule, showed up when she was expected, and continually checked on the quality of work being performed. She cared about and managed every detail. We are extremely pleased with the finished project, exceeding our initial expectations. I highly recommend using Ronni and her team. You will not be disappointed!!! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you for the opportunity to transform your Landscape and backyard pool patio! > I am passionate (some say obsessed lol) about what I do! > I’m looking forward to seeing your garden this spring, and continuing the work with container gardening….and adding a few spring touches! **★★★★★ — Wen Zhang, Aug. 2024** > I always dreamed of having a little garden in my life. After moved into our current house 19 years later and raised 2 children, I am so thankful that Ronni helped me to make my dream come true! She is very knowledgeable and talented. Her garden taste is elegant. She created a garden along with patio and bistro area in our backyard as phase I. And she just finished phase II that completely transformed our front yard! Along the way, we had many interesting conversations from gardening to life. We are so thankful to have met Ronni and her husband. I can't help myself to recommend Ronni to my friends and people met who values gardening in their life. Thank you Ronni and Randy! **★★★★★ — maryjanemasson, July 2024** > Choosing Ronni as our garden designer was one of the best decisions I've ever made. She has a great design vision, blending my aesthetic preferences with excellent hardscaping and lighting. My house is now one of the prettiest in the neighborhood. > > Ronni chose plants that bloom all summer, creating a casually elegant and romantic vibe that perfectly suits my home. She listened carefully to my requests and created a stunning design from my inspiration pictures. > > Her professionalism was outstanding—she stayed within my budget and executed the project seamlessly. I highly recommend Ronni for anyone looking to build their dream outdoor space. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you so much for the lovely review…it has been a joy working together! > Sincerely, Ronni **★★★★★ — HU-536530872, Sept. 2023** > We recommend Ronni! Our yard looks great. She knows which plants do well in the area, how to make things flow, added a great mix so that something new is always popping up, and made the space usable. She stuck to the projected timeline. She even came back to replace the plants that didn't survive the initial planting. My one suggestion is to be very clear if you have high priority items and make sure they do not get cut or dropped as planning continues. Ronni was kind, reachable, made a gorgeous garden, and was on track with timelines - about everything you might look for in landscape design! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Wow, thank you for this lovely review…..It was wonderful working with you! > We work hard to make (and keep) our clients happy. **★★★★★ — ewimmers, Sept. 2023** > Ronni is such a pleasure to work with! We let her guide the way with her vision for our landscape/gardens and we couldn't be happier. She has a wonderful team to implement her plan. Ronni is detail oriented and easy to communicate with. She turned our property into a beautiful retreat that my family and I will enjoy for years to come! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you! Arriving to your beautiful property each day was a joy! This was one of my largest garden installations to date, and we really appreciate your patience. I am truly excited to see your garden mature and ….the joy, the pollinators visiting your garden, will bring! **★★★★★ — C Armstrong, Nov. 2022** > Ronni is very professional and easy to work with. Her knowledge of all plant material and her design creativity is remarkable. It was a great experience working with her. **★★★★★ — Maria Pedro, Oct. 2022** > Ronni did an excellent job with our front yard. We had an unwelcoming yard with a large tree and overgrown evergreens that were covering our front door and walkway, Ronni transformed the yard with a beautiful perennial garden and a stone walkway. We couldn’t be any happier! Ronni is very professional and very easy to work with. We had a wonderful experience working with her, from the design to the completion of the project. We’re looking forward to a colorful spring when the perennials will be in bloom. Thank you, Ronni and team, for our beautiful front yard. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Maria-thank you for such a a thoughtful review…..it was an easy transformation! You have such a lovely home/setting …making it an enjoyable landscape to work in. > See you in the spring! **★★★★★ — reeselightnin, July 2022** > After redoing our home's exterior, our front landscaping situation was an eye sore. Ronni designed a large paver walk in a grand scale that aligns beautifully with the design of our home, with a large variety of plants and trees so that there is always something interesting to view no matter where you are in the front yard. She was a pleasure to work with during all of the phases of the project: from listening to our specific wish list, to working within our budget, to installation, even to watering and plant care follow ups. Her landscaping team was great, even through a minor incident. I highly recommend Ronni and her team, and hope to work with her again in the future on other areas of our property! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you…it was our pleasure! I’m happy the cable was repaired quickly! **★★★★★ — HU-90374447, Nov. 2021** > Ronni Hock just finished a beautiful bluestone patio surrounded by a pollinator garden with a garden path. We are beyond thrilled with the finished product. We love Ronni’s ideas and suggestions along the way and ended up doing more than we had initially planned to because we were so happy with the results. Ronni and her amazing crew are professional, talented and a pleasure to work with. Ronni was in consistent contact with us during the project and on the site every day. We are looking forward to the spring when she will start a second project on the front of our house. We consider ourselves lucky to be working with her! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you for the opportunity….your beautiful farm is certainly inspirational! I look forward to next years project! All the best! **★★★★★ — Christina Kish, Nov. 2021** > I moved into a new house with lots of potential but didn’t know the area. I am so glad I met Ronnie! I didn’t want anything too formal but did need a lot done. She listened to me and really understood my esthetic and came up with a lovely plan. She knew everyone in the area and did the outreach and coordination with the outdoor lighting and irrigation people. Her own crew was punctual, professional and cleaned up every night. When the irrigation people overwatered an area Ronnie even replaced the plantings for free. I look forward to working with her on phase 2 in the spring. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > It has been a real joy creating a garden for you and all that you want to achieve with the garden! I look forward to next year, and assisting you in any way that I can…..I wish you all the success, love and energy for the kids and dogs! **★★★★★ — Juno Mayer Senft, Sept. 2021** > We retained Ronni to work on our garden which was literally a pile of mud when she first met with us for a consultation. Ronni spent a generous amount of time with us to understand the type of garden we had in mind, any plant/ tree preferences and colors that we would like. Ronni then developed a comprehensive plan, discussed it fully with us and made some updates that she felt would improve upon an already wonderful vision. Ronni took charge of working with the rest of the team involved in the gut renovation of our home so as to make sure that the yard (mud pile) was properly prepped for her Team to begin their work. When Ronni's team began their work, the pile of mud was transformed within two days into a beautiful soothing space that is truly differential. Neighbors and even complete strangers stop and comment on our beautiful garden, thanks to Ronni's vision and execution skills. In addition, Ronni is working with us on the ongoing care plan which is invaluable. We unreservedly highly recommend Ronni. **★★★★★ — r h, Sept. 2021** > For a smaller project redesigning our walkway and the landscaping in front of our home, Ronni developed a creative solution that added color and interest while seamlessly incorporating the existing trees and shrubs that we were keeping. It was a pleasure to work with her and she quickly understood our preferences and objectives and was extremely responsive. Randy and Steve H. **★★★★★ — reynoab, July 2021** > Ronni was wonderful to work with. We are not experts when it comes to gardens, but we had a vision and she really listened to us. Her design was perfect. She also connected us with a great partner to install a watering system. Now, I look out my window and see a transformed backyard, with beautiful perennials, a lovely bluestone walkway and sitting area, and a row of boxwoods hiding the unsightly recycling cans. I highly recommend Ronni, and will be having her team come back in the fall to hopefully do some more work. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you so much...I am looking forward to seeing your garden grow! **★★★★★ — Jennifer Miller, Nov. 2020** > After interviewing several folks for our backyard project, everything clicked when we met with Ronni. Our goal was to completely transform our backyard from a small piece of grass and mostly “dead space” of brush to an entire backyard we could actually use. > From meeting with her at the very beginning during the design phase, Ronni was attentive to everything we wanted, putting care and detail into her design, changing things as needed to all the way through to the end of the project. Her crew was respectful of our property and in-tune with her vision for our backyard. > She was patient and un-phased by any challenge, and delivered the project ahead of schedule. > My husband and I are overjoyed with the results, which included 3 bluestone pathways, a boulder firepit, landscaping and lighting. We use our backyard all the time now. We feel like we added a huge addition onto our home. Thank you Ronni! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you J&J...it was truly lovely working with you!!! Enjoy all the moments/ stories around the campfire! **★★★★★ — HU-160218886, Aug. 2020** > I am so pleased to have worked with Ronni to update my existing gardens and hardscaping. She was in tune to my goals as a gardener but added her unique vision to make it absolutely splendid. The colors are magnificent!! She and her team are professional and are true to the time requirements to complete the job as well as to the price point. I highly recommend her business. **★★★★★ — remellk, Aug. 2020** > How lucky to find Ronni Hock on Houzz for a very demanding project! Our newly constructed glass walled modern cottage was surrounded by depressing piles of mud obscuring former parklike views. Ronni was unfazed by its many challenges: land with a high water table and drainage issues, a ravenous deer population, an unsightly pool storage area and fence, and an aesthetic compliment to an adjacent antique farm house. Her experienced professionalism was evident in several meetings to discuss general design concepts and goals. She listened respectfully as we expressed our strongly held personal preferences ( We have strong opinions, and are not easy to please.) Ronni presented several options and displayed admirable patience and flexibility as our focus gradually shifted. She was amenable to separating areas when I found the initial scope of the project daunting. > Ronni and her expert team conquered all of these challenges. We are delighted with the results! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Wow, thank you for selecting me for the project! I enjoyed working with you, and look forward to more plantings this fall! All the best! **★★★★★ — smgvmd, July 2020** > I used Ronni Hock Garden and Landscape for the first time this year, and I could not be more thrilled with the resulting garden and patio area... Ronni's ideas and vision completely transformed the area from an OK space to spend some time outside, to a lovely natural garden and walkway that is restful and inviting... Also, I was delighted that the work was done in a timely manner and the workers were very knowledgable about their plants, the planting and the paving ... The work started on the day I was told initially it would start, and it ended one day before the estimated work finishing date.. Overall, the job was extremely professional, and a very positive experience.. Both my husband and I could not be more pleased with the planning, the execution and the outcome of the job... **★★★★★ — Janice Bush, May 2020** > RHGL/Ronni did a total renovation on our front yard/porch. Last evening after everyone left, we walked around the property and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Ronni really has an eye and a vision and it all just turned out beautifully. We just hope we can keep it alive and healthy - thank goodness for the irrigation! My husband and I talked about how happy we were and felt like we should have brought out wine and toasted Ronni and Pedro for making the yard so nice again! We were a little reluctant going into such a big project, but interviewed several companies, selected RHGL and it has been very easy with her guidance and wonderful teams. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Janice, you truly have such a great sense of humor! Thanks for being a bright spot during a very stressful Spring 2020! Looking forward to seeing the garden grow....all the best! **★★★★★ — Barry Sharer, May 2020** > Ronni and her team did an amazing job redesigning our front yard and installing the landscaping and lighting. The job entailed removing and in some cases relocating large trees and bushes. All done quickly and efficiently. My wife and I are delighted with the results. Basically identical to the plans and on budget. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Barry- > Thank you so much! Loved the results...............and most enjoyed working with you both! > Ronni **★★★★★ — Grant Ward, Oct. 2019** > We hired Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape to create a backyard bluestone patio with stone walls, and plantings for our home in Princeton, NJ. From start to finish Ronni created and implemented an amazing plan. She was thorough and caring and kept to her timeline. Plus, the work crew who was part of her team were professional and hardworking and in addition wonderful craftsmen. What Ronni created really transformed our backyard into a beautiful magical area that we enjoy every day. Thank you Ronni!! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > What a gorgeous property you have...it was delightful enhancing your landscape! **★★★★★ — Nancy K, July 2019** > Ronni Hock was fabulous! Have hired several other local landscapers in the past, and by far, this was my best experience - very professional, knowledgeable with great ideas, quick response times, great communication. Ronni listened carefully and really worked well to fit our taste as well as the landscape of the entire property. Workers were very pleasant and tidy. Ronni was present every day to oversee the project. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Wow, thank you Nancy! Your property is stunning to begin with so it was a pleasure to work in your garden. Thanks so much for having us....and hopefully we return this fall for phase 2! **★★★★★ — barbara oakes, April 2019** > Ronni and her team are remarkable. They are the best home improvement team that's worked at my home. Ronni is an ideal choice to bring your project to life. Her team is diligent, professional, polite, punctual, respectful, and neat. Can't get a better candidate anywhere. Will call her again in the future. **★★★★★ — Graham DIllaway, Nov. 2018** > Ronni and her crew, led by Louie, did a great job at our house and we look forward to working with them again in the future. Throughout the job, Ronni kept us updated via text and email and Louie walked the property with us during and after the job to insure their work met our satisfaction. > > From a financial standpoint, Ronni's proposal was based upon the number of days she projected the job to take and she provided a few different estimates of costs based upon how long she thought it would take them to get done with the job. Ultimately, she came in below her estimates. So, that was quite refreshing given other companies we have used in the past! > > Also, Ronni made numerous recommendations for other contractors to use on the property based upon her experience. > > Overall, we are very pleased. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Wow Graham thank you....you’re property is amazing & I can’t wait to work with you again, and return next year! **★★★★★ — Jennifer Bednar, Nov. 2018** > Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape created a beautiful outdoor environment for us! From the lit crab apple trees to the boxwoods framing them, we were very happy with the design and implementation. Ronni will be putting in an herb and cutting garden in the spring. Looking forward to that! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > It has been a pleasure working with you! I am looking forward to next spring and seeing the spring explosion of bulbs! Thank you & all the best! **★★★★★ — Linda Sichel, July 2018** > Ronni Hock was recommended to me by an arborist that had just removed several large trees from the front of my house. The house looked naked and bare. Ronni planned and executed a beautiful landscape that makes me smile every time I walk out my front door. She listened, was creative, flexible, on time, on budget and a delight to work with. Would not hesitate to work with her again. **★★★★★ — Cara C, July 2018** > I really enjoyed working with Ronni. She's incredibly knowledgable, professional, and absolutely fastidious about her work. We never thought we could have a nice yard, but she came up with a beautiful design, and we couldn't be happier. She really listened to me and delivered everything on time and on budget. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you, I look forward to seeing your garden mature, in the coming years! **★★★★★ — maryaliceteti, July 2018** > Ronni was the original designer of our garden for a previous owner. I’m so glad that I found her. She has taken a personal interest in our garden and is helping to restore it after years of neglect. She has also facilitated our work with other local contractors (irrigation; tree specialist). She is also a pleasure to work with, professional and timely, responsive to feedback, fair pricing that matched her estimate. **★★★★★ — Terri Epstein, Feb. 2018** > Ronni transformed our plain patch of lawn backyard into a garden paradise in 2007. So it was no surprise that we called on her again last year to redesign our front walk. From hardscaping and materials to garden beds and plant choices, Ronni is so knowledgeable, skilled and creative. But what truly makes her a standout is her ability to listen to her clients, and create the dream they envision, in our case, cottage gardens to complement our cozy old, 1920s Tudor home. Thank you, Ronni. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you so much, Terri! I most enjoyed working with you over the years! Enjoy your garden this spring! > Best, > Ronni **★★★★★ — Andrea Meyercord, Dec. 2017** > Phase II - 2018 > The second phase of our project, as described below, was completed in the late fall. Ronni and her team meticulously executed a new, expansive patio, with beautiful large scale stepping stones leading to a firepit area and a newly-built pool house and greenhouse. A new entrance to the backyard from the side of the house leads down a walkway and through a pergola, making for an elegant entrance into the lower patio, which then steps up to the pool deck, complete with stone retention walls and new landscaping and plantings framing the surroundings. Ronni carefully selected several feature trees, as well as garden accessories, to be lit at night, creating a dramatic and lovely night scape. Her attention to detail, commitment to the quality of her work, and professionalism is unparalleled. She stands behind everything she puts in, and has treated our project as if it were being carried out in her own home. I thoroughly recommend Ronni. We couldn't be more pleased with the stunning transformation of our yard under her creative vision and detailed care. > > Phase I - 2018 > I have admired Ronni's work in local landscape settings throughout the years, so we asked her to be in charge of our large-scale yard project. It is a multi-phase project, which includes improvements to our front entrance and the building of a gated brick wall leading to our backyard (Phase I), as well as an extensive re-design of our backyard in conjunction with the installation of our new pool and pool house, which will include hardscaping of a new patio and pool deck, fire pit area, pergola, kitchen garden, green house and extensive new plantings throughout (Phase II). We've just completed the first phase, and thus far, my expectations have been exceeded...Ronni is the consummate professional, as is her tremendously skilled team. She is extremely detail- oriented, and presents a clear picture of her design goals, the timeline that will be involved and the budget. She has had to work in coordination with our contractor, architect, and pool designer, and she is the ultimate team player. She anticipates needs and has a great ability to provide creative solutions to unexpected scenarios. Ronni's depth of horticultural knowledge is impressive, and her creative vision is superb. She really listens to her clients and is receptive to their needs and objectives. We will begin the second phase of our project in the spring. Needless to say, I can't wait! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > You are toooooo kind. Thank you so much, Andrea! I am very anxious to begin Phase 2 in the spring. This is one of my very favorite projects since RHG&L launched. Have a wonderful holiday season!! **★★★★ — User, Dec. 2017** > We are doing a phased landscaping project that includes hardscaping/patio, stone wall, stone fire pit, pergola and various plantings. The design Ronni put together is stunning, and she helped manage most of the project for us and brought in a great pergola builder. She is pleasant, professional and responsive. Her pricing is on the higher end but it is worth it. She will be back in the spring to complete the plantings and fire pit and we are very excited! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Nicole, thank you for this wonderful review! I am very excited as well, to install the icing on the cake next spring.....the garden! **★★★★★ — Donna, Oct. 2017** > Ronni’s artistic abilities and vision transformed my yard into landscape that is magazine worthy all while paying attention to budget and overall costs!! Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail is second to none. Her staff’s ability to execute her vision is just wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with this great company; I would highly recommend Ronni and her crew for your next project! **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Wow, thank you Donna! It has been wonderful designing and planning with you! I'm looking forward to Phase 2 in your garden....your place is amazing!

So glad you're pleased............. > Best, > Ronni **★★★★★ — 360herron, Sept. 2017** > Ronni and the team were a pleasure to work this. They brought our vision to life and made it even better. Ronni has great knowledge and experience - we are so happy with the project and can't wait for the next opportunity to work together. The team were professional and did a great job. **★★★★★ — Neena Patil, Sept. 2017** > Ronni and her are wonderful to work with. She had beautiful and unique design ideas that met our vision for the project. Her team was professional and did exceptional work. The project was done within timelines and on budget. **★★★★★ — Pat M, Dec. 2016** > Ronni and her team renovated the foundation area in front of my home. From the initial meeting to the final installation the process was seamless. > The selection of plants ensured four season interest and the flowers were in bloom throughout the growing season. Some shrubs changed from green to flowering and then vibrant seasonal colors in the fall. I requested a few large boulders to be placed in the landscaping and the result was perfectly balanced. I received numerous complements from friends and family. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Hi, Pat- > You're so sweet.........I really appreciate the kind words. It was a pleasure working on your property. Enjoy the holidays with your family! > Best, > Ronni **★★★★★ — Dana Klinges, Nov. 2016** > We had a great experience with Ronni on a backyard project (adding a path, stone wall and stairs to the existing patio, as well as a considerable number of plantings). After our initial meeting she came up with a plan that I liked a lot, and her team got started soon after that. I made a few requests (such as keeping a particular dwarf tree in place), which she cheerfully accommodated and worked around. I had a deadline -- a party we were hosting -- that we discussed at the outset, and her team finished more than a week before the party, which pleased me. This project was done in the fall, and I can't wait to see what the new garden will look like in the spring! I know from my discussions with Ronni that she took great care in choosing what to plant. We are looking forward to having Ronni work on our front yard next. **★★★★★ — Dennis Foerter, Nov. 2016** > We contacted Ronni to come up with a design for an awkward portion of our side yard. Ronni designed a fire pit with surrounding plantings that connected this part of our yard to the back yard. We were very satisfied with the work and the professionalism of the staff completing the work. We've had dozens of contractors her over the years and most seem to be in a hurry to get the job done. Ronni's and her staff took there time to make sure the design was completed in accordance with renderings and they did a great job cleaning up after the project was complete. This portion of our yard is now useable space and we will be enjoying the firepit and surrounding area for years to come. We will be definitely be using Ronni for future landscaping projects. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you so much, Dennis! We look forward to the next phase of work on your property. Enjoy the holiday season! **★★★★★ — Kathy Enquist, Oct. 2016** > Ronnie's design for our driveway, patio and front walk was artistic and creative - not the same old, same old pattern or design seen so frequently around town. Ronnie and her crew were professional, reliable and showed care and concern for minimizing harm to our garden plantings during the construction. We loved working with Ronnie and highly recommend her to others. **★★★★★ — Susan Zief, Oct. 2016** > We had an excellent experience with Ronni Hock. From start to finish, we felt that she understood our vision and executed the right design for the space and our preferences. We also greatly appreciated her professionalism and clear verbal and written communication - nothing was left to surprise! I am so looking forward to watching our new gardens mature in the coming years; her work has added much value to our home and we look forward to using her for future projects. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Susan, thank you for such a nice review! Your contemporary home is so unique, it was a pleasure working with you! Enjoy the new garden! All the best, Ronni **★★★★★ — Robert DiPrato, Oct. 2016** > We are very happy with the patio and landscaping Ronni designed and constructed for us. Ronni is a pleasure to work with. She made our ideas come to life with her strong listening skills, flexibility and passion for gardening. We frequently receive compliments on the beautiful colors integrated into the design. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Rob, your new home is stunning...! All the best in the backyard....I'm sure you are looking forward to creating many wonderful memories with your beautiful daughter and Family! Ronni **★★★★★ — HU-194245, July 2016** > Ronni Hock transformed my overgrown, weed infested yard into a lovely garden. All of my calls and emails were returned promptly. I hired companies to do extensive tree work and irrigation based on her recommendations. In a very compressed time frame, she co-ordinated all of the work to realize the project. Everything was done on time, on budget and is guaranteed. She is professional, a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you for the wonderful review. You were great to work with, and I couldn't have done it without my great colleagues in the business! I look forward to seeing your garden grow. All the best! **★★★★★ — Milind Hajarnis, June 2016** > We just finished our dream landscaping project with Ronni and the experience was just amazing! She helped us from inception to completion designing a beautiful garden with perfect balance of blue stone, pavers, plants and landscape lighting. She also designed a beautiful container garden for our back patio. She worked very closely with us every step of the way ensuring we get the most value for our investment. Ronni is creative and meticulous in everything she does and her passion is like an assurance to you! We get compliments for our new landscape from friends, neighbors and other residents walking / biking on the sidewalks which is a testament to Ronni's wonderful work! > > We are looking forward to working with Ronni on Phase II of the project and would happily recommend her to anyone who is looking for an amazing full service Gardner & landscaper. **★★★★★ — john55100, Oct. 2015** > Ronni beautifully designed our back yard with all new plant material, lighting, bluestone and architectural features including a firepit, pergola and stone walls. She has an outstanding eye for design and is thorough and accurate on detailing. She managed the execution of her plan efficiently and with excellent communication throughout. Both the experience and outcome have pleased us immensely. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you for the opportunity, it was truly wonderful working with you! I will post photographs of the transition of your backyard in the very near future. The collaboration between all of us ...my team, you & Total Home manager/ Baxter construction created a wonderful end result! Enjoy the crisp, cool fall around the firepit! > All the best, > Ronni **★★★★★ — chrissie1026, Aug. 2015** > Ronni did an outstanding job of making our backyard an oasis of beauty and tranquility. She and her team transformed a dated pool area into something that looks like it came from a magazine. Her knowledge of plants enabled a staggered bloom season so we always have blooms and color. We have hummingbirds, butterflies, dragonflies and bees for our hive. Not only is she an excellent listener but a great communicator. Continues to keep in touch to ensure everything is thriving and if it isnt she has replaced. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you for the kind review! It's so rewarding to work with someone who enjoys the garden as much as I do! Enjoy! **★★★★★ — cldavis53, Aug. 2015** > In the summer of 2014, we asked Ronni to design a complete rennovation of our property with new walkway, lighting, and landscaping. We could not afford to do everything at once and she was very helpful to draw up a plan with different parts of the project so that we could get immediate improvements in our front approach to the home. By working with us on our goals she found ways to add more color and variety to our plantings while keeping some of the old trees and shrubs - the yard received a much needed makeover without going over our budget. We were so happy with the work that we had her come out Spring 2015 to finish her design with more hardscaping and landscaping in the backyard - she replaced an old concrete ledge with a beautiful stone patio and added a boulder stair-case that adds a nice accent to our sloping yard while keeping natural look to blend in with the tree-line and stream in back. She built a lovely small vegetable garden for us on the side of hill with stone holding wall and swinging gate. For all of our tree selections, she patiently helped me select the varieties that would work best for our yard and my preferences. I highly recommend Ronni for her personalized approach, incredible knowledge about plants, and her professional crew of workers. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > I am so happy to see how your garden has matured in just one year! It was wonderful working with you, enjoy your harvest this summer & fall! Thank you for the wonderful review, all my best! Ronni **★★★★★ — Julie Stuckey, Aug. 2015** > This was the greatest experience from initiation to completion! The project plan included replacing & renovating deteriorating walks & stonework and a complete landscaping makeover for an old historic stone house. I wanted a casual, country feel to maintain the property's integrity. Ronni is knowledgeable, listened intently to my requests, easy to work with ... I couldn't have asked for a better visionary to fulfill my dreams. Her teams are hardworking craftsmen who paid attention to every detail. I am beyond thrilled at the transformation the property has undergone. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you! You were so patient with the process.....now that it's peaceful, you can compose your lovely poetry ! We are looking forward to transforming the barn garden next year! **★★★★★ — fredrikas1, July 2015** > Ronni Hock proved to be a talented designer and a good listener. She understood that a garden can whisper its beauty. Through layering, texture and subtle colors, Ronni created a magnificent sanctuary that constantly changes through the seasons. Lastly, she accepted responsibility for plants that did not survive. **★★★★★ — mslively, June 2015** > Ronni has completely transformed my yard. I have a very difficult site, dry, shady and poor soil. This project was to revamp the beds around the swimming pool and provide a screen from the neighbors. What was a sad dry mish mash of struggling plants is now a lush green garden that looks completely natural, as if it had been here for many years. > > Ronni worked directly with the irrigation company to design and install a system specific to the plants she had chosen. Her crew amended the soil and carefully planted each plant where Ronni herself had placed it. As a result everything that was planted is thriving. > > The backyard is now an oasis of large ferns and hostas interspersed with flowering shrubs. Tall hemlocks block the view of the neighbors and evergreen ground covers are quickly spreading to cover the previously bare ground in the dense shade. Tall pots of bright flowers, watered by an ingenious hidden system, add color to the patio. All the various components flow seamlessly to create a calm soothing whole. > > I recommend Ronni without reservation. I have been happy with her work every step of the way. **Comment from Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape:** > Thank you so much for this wonderful, generous review. It has been a pleasure being in your garden! I'm looking forward to seeing it mature. > All my best. **★★★★★ — abbynotte, April 2015** > Ronni planned and executed a stellar job. She was easy to work with, thoughtful, well organized, informative and, most important, listened to my ideas and translated them into beautiful landscaping in front of and behind my home, that will only continue to become more lovely over time. She also re-used many of the plantings that had previously been installed, which was greatly appreciated. **★★★★★ — agammie, April 2015** > We had a garden designed and installed by Ronni Hock Garden & Landscape in the fall of 2013. The results were a complete transformation of our front yard! Our front walkway is much more welcoming and we have thoroughly enjoyed how the garden changes through the seasons. Ronni provided information about the plants and useful instructions for keeping the garden looking lovely. It was a pleasure to work with this talented group. **★★★★★ — Hidden Cove Home Design, April 2015** > Ronni created a beautiful and inspired design for our property including patios, pool and gardens. She has an incredible sense of design and color and she is a virtual encyclopedia of plant knowledge. Ronni took the time up front to find out what types of gardens we liked and she created a beautiful oasis that exceeded what we had hoped for. **★★★★★ — Chitra Salgame, March 2015** > I was very pleased with Ronni's ideas. She is a thorough professional and her ideas were just what we needed to completely transform our property. We love the results. She is a very innovative and out of the box thinker and had great ideas to fit my needs in. The work was done in a timely manner as well. > I highly recommend her company. **★★★★★ — laurh, March 2015** > We have had our property completely transformed by Ronni and her team. Our "curb appeal" has been immensely enhanced and in place of a drab backyard, we have a picturesque retreat. In every way Ronni created a beautiful landscape to compliment our home, taking into account our preferences, budget, and the style of our house. In addition to her design talents, Ronni is the consummate professional and excellent team manager. She is involved in landscape design from creation through installation and until completion of the project. She is easy to talk to and despite her expertise, welcomed and easily incorporated input that we gave before and during the project. We absolutely loved working with Ronni, and wholeheartedly recommend her to those of you looking to maximize enjoyment of your property. Her work is art! **★★★★★ — wstowe, March 2015** > In the fall of 2012 Ronni designed and installed two patios and some fairly extensive plantings at our modest Princeton home. Every stage of the project was a pleasure. Ronni worked closely with us and understood our goals, our taste, and our budget. She managed the project personally and replied to e-mailed questions almost instantaneously. The results are wonderful, even in bleak December . The patios were well-conceived and carefully installed. The gardens are beautifully laid out with a terrific selection of plants for year-round interest. Last fall when we lost a large tree we knew who to call. Ronni replaced it with a small grove that looked good all winter and should look even better soon. **★★★★★ — kcohenpsyd, March 2015** > Last summer Ronni redesigned my front walk and garden beds and replaced the cement apron in front of my garage. This was the easiest home improvement project (and there have been many) and one of the best we have undertaken. Ronni listened well to what effect we wanted to achieve...from the size, materials, and look of the project. She kept our look in keeping with the neighborhood while creating a beautiful and colorful space that is easy to care for. And, I haven't seen a more beautiful curving walkway. > The addition of pavers in front of our garage was a brilliant idea, beautifully integrating the driveway and new front walk. Ronni came each day to be sure the work was proceeding as planned and her team's craftsmanship was efficient and top notch. I highly recommend Ronni Hock Garden and Landscape without reservation. **★★★★★ — O P, March 2015** > ronni designed and constructed our bluestone patio and surrounding gardens in the fall of 2014. we wanted a smaller size patio, somrthing to compliment our already established gardens in our back yard. ronni took the time to meet with us, ask questions about what we liked, looked closely at our existing gardens and magically came up with a plan that suited our budget and style. she designed a beautiful patio and surrounding garden that perfectly enhances our existing gardens and really elevates the style too! ronni is thoughtful and has great knowledge of just what plants would do well in our shady yard and provided information about the plants before we made any decisions. the gentleman who did the installation of the stone was neat, efficient and respectful of the property and truly an artisan. every detail from the laying of the stone to planting the shrubs and trees was thoughtfully done and with obvious pride and attention to detail. ronni is such a pleasure to work with and her enthusiasm for her work is infectious. many thanks ronni! **★★★★★ — kkhandkar, March 2015** > We were very happy with Ronni! Not only did she come up with great ideas, but her passion for doing the work really stood out. She also followed up to make sure that the landscape was turning out the way it should **★★★★★ — lgavis, March 2015** > We felt comfortable with Ronni right from the start. She really focuses on designing what is right for you and your home. We were so pleased with how Ronni transformed our front yard - with elegant hardscaping and landscaping well suited to the property and our tastes - that we asked her to redo the patio area in back. Working with Ronni was both easy and fun and we were really impressed by the timely and efficient completion of each project **★★★★★ — Barbara Nelson, Feb. 2015** > Could not be more delighted with the outcome of our design and implement project! The design was beyond my expectations, the execution perfect. My neighbors all commented both on the beautiful results and how polite and respectful the crew was. Great job. > > We had beds installed, a stone firepit and patio, plantings replaced, new lighting, and even did a major project to redirect a water problem on the site. Ronni and her team came up with a solution that seemed so easy, once they had put it in place! But it had been impossible for anyone else to come up with the idea. > > We've used two other companies over the years in our home, I am so glad to find Ronni Hock Garden- I won't use or recommend any other firm ever again! **★★★★★ — Deborah Leamann, May 2014** > Ronni and I have collaborated on severl landscape projects. I enjoy reccomending her because her design sensibilities are so similiar to my own. Her ideas are creative and always appropriate. Her knowledge is invaluable when it comes to landscaping! ## Selected projects - [Lakehouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakehouse-pj-vj~7472870) - Location: Princeton, NJ - Photos: 23 - [Princeton modern design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/princeton-modern-design-pj-vj~7472885) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Elegant Princeton Poolscape & Gardener’s Delight](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-princeton-poolscape-and-gardeners-delight-pj-vj~5815262) - Location: Princeton, NJ - Photos: 35 - Description: Complete backyard design and installation of brick pillars (entrance), bluestone pool patios, brick masonry steps, bluestone walkways, dry lay fieldstone walls, gardens (including a vegetable garden) and landscaping............all the elements complimenting a pool, pool house, greenhouse and pergola. - [Princeton Junior League Showhouse & Gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/princeton-junior-league-showhouse-and-gardens-pj-vj~2626901) - Location: Princeton, NJ - Photos: 10 - [Princeton Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/princeton-contemporary-pj-vj~2628427) - Location: Princeton, NJ - Photos: 7 - [18th Century Bucks County Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/18th-century-bucks-county-farmhouse-pj-vj~1742176) - Location: Newtown, PA - Photos: 12 - Description: Total renovation and redesign of gardens, stone walls, walkways and patios. - [Contemporary Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-patio-pj-vj~1147420) - Location: Princeton Meadows, NJ - Photos: 20 - Description: contemporary bluestone patio with outdoor gas fire pit and fieldstone wall with bluestone capping - [Patios](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/patios-pj-vj~881789) - Location: Pennington, NJ - Photos: 24 - [Spring!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spring-pj-vj~2364107) - Location: Princeton, NJ - Photos: 25 - [Boulder Ideas & Broken Blue Stone Path](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/boulder-ideas-and-broken-blue-stone-path-pj-vj~879016) - Location: Princeton, NJ - Photos: 24 - [Walkways](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/walkways-pj-vj~879003) - Location: New Hope, PA - Photos: 29 - [Stone walls](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stone-walls-pj-vj~721526) - Location: Princeton, NJ - Photos: 22 - [Unique Front Entrance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/unique-front-entrance-pj-vj~879010) - Location: Princeton, NJ - Photos: 23 - [Pool Scape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pool-scape-pj-vj~879015) - Location: Allentown, NJ - Photos: 17 - [Container gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/container-gardens-pj-vj~879008) - Location: Hopewell, NJ - Photos: 16 - [Bird and Butterfly Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bird-and-butterfly-garden-pj-vj~879009) - Location: Princeton, NJ - Photos: 45 - Description: Pergola, bluestone patio, retaining wall, outdoor lighting, dogwood trees, spring garden - [Firepits & Fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/firepits-and-fireplaces-pj-vj~881304) - Location: Skillman, NJ - Photos: 7 - [The Ridge House-Princeton NJ](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-ridge-house-princeton-nj-pj-vj~991706) - Location: Princeton, NJ - Photos: 7 - [The Barn](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-barn-pj-vj~990796) - Location: Lawrence Township, NJ - Photos: 14 - [Vegetable & Herb Gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vegetable-and-herb-gardens-pj-vj~7127093) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 [See all 23 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-contractors/ronni-hock-garden-and-landscape-pfvwus-pf~630152389) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/1188431415.m3u8?s=13fa195d6046cec893971ed9336658c5fefa37d9&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Ideabooks - [test one](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/52804841/list/test-one) — 1 idea [See all 1 ideabook](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/ronnihock) ## Community Q&A **Q: What tree is that in the back?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi, thank you for contacting us!
