I began with their "Fine Gardening" service which is essentially a customized program to tend to almost anything you need in your garden including pruning, weeding, replanting, etc. It is a GREAT service - knowledgeable and careful workers, hard working, and flexible. Last year, we installed new plant beds in several areas. Westover handled the design including several reviews, installed the plantings on time, and have honored the one year guarantee for anything that did not take. > > I would highly recommend Westover for your landscape design and ongoing maintenance for healthy plants and a well maintained garden. **★★★★★ — Jennifer G, May 2022** > Westover has done a beautiful job helping us update our landscaping. They filled in gaps that needed attention and added gorgeous color to the backyard. We appreciate that they relocated plants, rather than discarding them. **★★★★★ — Three planter boxes on my deck., July 2021** > Such a pleasant professional team to work with. And my planter boxes are getting lots of rave comments because of their rich, colorful presentation. Thrilled with results. MC, Briarcliff Manor, NY. **★★★★★ — dillyfox, July 2021** > Westover Landscape Design helped me realize my lifelong dream of building an enclosed garden with raised gardening beds in a professional and timely manner. What resulted is an exquisite garden with many elegant finishing touches. The designer, Sonia Bodie, and the install team were an absolute joy to work with. It was their goal to make sure every detail was perfect before finishing the job. The project was finished in time for me to plant vegetables and flowers and I spend all my time now enjoying it. I look forward to working on future projects with Westover Lanscape. **★★★★★ — J Mets, Oct. 2020** > Excellent communication with the team. Best of all, now we have a country look that exceeds our imagination. Highly recommend Westover! **★★★★★ — Robin Baum, Aug. 2020** > We originally found Westover Landscape Design through reviews on Houzz. People who walk by our house are always commenting how beautiful the landscaping is. Matt Neider and his design colleagues developed a creative landscape plan for our entire property - including a gracious, all-year-round scheme for the front and an intimate back garden area with beautiful seasonal flowering shrubs that we love spending time in. The plantings have thrived and are now fully established thanks to their attentive annual maintenance. They are a pleasure to work with and provide outstanding service. We have used other landscape firms for our previous home(s) and our experience with Westover has been the best in class. > > Robin & Richard B. **★★★★★ — D Davey, Sept. 2019** > This is my second project with Westover. Both Matt and Tom were so helpful throughout. The installation crew was also professional and very thorough. Everything was completed on schedule and the entire experience was a pleasure. I was given a lot of information about my garden during planning and planting: light, water, soil, placement, etc. and feel well-informed. I am very pleased with the results and would most definitely recommend Westover Landscape Design. **★★★★★ — Donald Stever, June 2019** > We engaged Westover Landscape Design to redesign our rear yard garden area, which was originally designed by a landscape architect in the 1990s and had become overgrown and dull. We wanted a flowering garden that would attract pollinators and birds. They worked with us, provided a landscape plan and a firm cost estimate. The work was done in the mid-Spring very professionally and the result is spectacular. They also relocated some nice large bushes to other parts of the yard, which was an additional benefit. We recommend Westover unconditionally. **★★★★★ — Peter DiCapua, May 2018** > Westover did an excellent job transforming our mulch dessert into a beautiful perrenial garden. Matt and Tom and Aubyn were a pleasure to work with. Their style is collaborative with them making recommendations as professionals and then willingly adjusting and tweaking the design to fit our preferences to a tee. We would not hesitate to recommend them. **Comment from Westover Landscape Design:** > Thank you Peter! We appreciate the nice recommendation. You and Maureen are a pleasure to work with! **★★★★★ — Sandford Wollman, Aug. 2017** > The best thing we did for our backyard project was to hire Westover! > > After interviewing countless landscape architects and designers who wouldn't share their thoughts unless we hired them, having Westover's Matt and Aubyn stop by was a breath of fresh air! They immediately shared their spot-on thoughts and ideas before we engaged their services. > > Professional, experienced, knowledgeable, patient, with vision--and all within our budget! Westover's 3D renderings really helped us to visualize what our back yard could become. Without Westover's input, our backyard project would not be the best it could be! > > We are most grateful to Westover's Matt and Aubyn-they are awesome! **★★★★★ — tema bomback, July 2017** > we couldn't be happier with the job westover landscape design just completed for us. we threw a lot of ideas at them and they came back to us with a plan that not only suited our aesthetic, but exceeded our expectations. the work was done when promised, their employees were all professional and extremely polite, and our yard is transformed. **★★★★★ — User, July 2017** > Westover did a great job designing and managing installation of a new layout for our front and backyards -- plantings throughout and masonry work. Love the way our yard looks, they were a pleasure to deal with. ## Selected projects - [Shanti Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shanti-garden-pj-vj~26306) - Location: Bronxville, NY - Photos: 26 - Description: Shanti means ‘Peace' in Sanskrit and this garden, with its series of lush, elegant and surprising garden ‘rooms' lives up to its name.

Not everyone would see the hidden beauty in the Yonkers property destined for the wrecking ball in 2000. But one family took the serious fixer-upper under their wing.

This garden, located on a steep slope in the village of Tarrytown, NY, has zero lawn. Instead, the owner has created a winding path up and down the slope planted with waves of color, texture and interest. At each curve, a new series of plants beckons. Several ‘landing pads’ are built into the paths and planted to provide a calm focal point for the visitor to sit and relax. While it is a well planned garden, it feels very organic and natural.

You need to find a local landscape designer. Doing a site visit is a fundamental part of the design process. Good luck with your project. **Q: I have a similar slope.** *(in Photo Questions)* Did you replace all the soil or just replace soil around each planting hole? Lovely design with movement and a sense of calm! I love it! A: Hi - The soil was amended throughout the entire planting area. Thanks, Tom **Q: Wall Material and Size** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi! Two questions please. How high is the wall (ft) and what is the material? Beautiful space. Thank you. A: Hi, Thanks for the compliment! The wall for this structure is 11 feet high and faced with a mortared rustic stone veneer. **Q: decorate area next to fence** *(in Photo Questions)* I have an area between my driveway and a fence that does not have any dirt. it is concrete that is dropped down below driveway several inches. it is covered with white rocks, but I want to put greenery and flowers. would love ideas for making it look like a garden. A: Hi Renee, thanks for your question. With no soil along the fence, you will need to use containers. Try rectangular ones along the fence line filled with colorful annuals. Good luck with your project! Robert **Q: Wer kennt diese Pflanzen? Die wären genau dass Richtige für uns.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Sorry, but could you rephrase your question in English? Thanks! **Q: love the Buddah. Where can I get one?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Susan, the client sourced this directly on an overseas trip so I am not really sure where you could find one. But searching on Google came up with this https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/asian-art-furniture/sculptures-carvings/antique-burmese-bronze-seated-buddha-sculpture-mandalay-style/id-f\_2940132/?utm\_content=control&gclid=CjwKEAiA0fnFBRC6g8rgmICvrw0SJADx1\_zAPtYbM\_Kaz0Zw\_y3W\_xbZC-SnnTpQ0QcY5e0xVw86bxoCqt7w\_wcB --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
