our garden philosophy

Blossoming Beginnings provides custom landscape designs for Bergen county residential and commercial clients. We specialize in providing distinctive garden designs.

Your garden is a space to reconnect with nature, showcase your love of the environment, or grow your grandmother's heirloom tomatoes and roses. Envision a peaceful healing space for remote work, garden movie and game nights, or a secret garden...

Our landscape installations are done the right way, the first time, because we value each landscape design that we put our name on and are committed to our client’s success. No two designs are alike because every garden should have a distinct personality.

Great gardens don’t just happen, they're created from the soil up, which is why our landscape installations take a holistic view of your garden, including soil, climate, function and irrigation requirements.

With a Blossoming Beginnings design, you get increased curb appeal and the peace of mind that comes with knowing you've selected a company that will ensure the protection of your landscape investment.

BACKYARD LANDSCAPE DESIGN

In 2020, we were contracted for a multi-year landscape design renovation project for a Demarest home. The property had the potential to be a beautiful, lush escape but was overgrown and key areas had been neglected so the site lacked design cohesion. The new design focused on creating climate appropriate, deer resistant plantings and soil amendment to create a lush backyard oasis.

The following pictures feature the upper backyard deck with sun loving perennials, shade bed stair entrance and rock garden beds enwrapping the pool.

This Demarest homeowner is an avid nature lover and so her plant palette includes unique perennials like Spotty Dottie Mayapples, Jack Frost Brunnera, Mondo Grass, Ligularia, Pulmonaria, Hellebores and a variety of colorful Coral Bells. Self watering planters by Lechuza flank the doorway featuring Elephant Ears, Asparagus ferns, Sweet Potato Vines, Ivy and Impatiens.

brownstone LANDSCAPE design, NY

A garden offers a unique opportunity to flex your creativity, accentuating the positive to minimize it’s drawback. The primary challenge of New York gardens is the small size of the lots but by utilizing different planes, think wall, floor, sky, you can create a lush and interesting garden that serves as an escape from the busy metropolis.

Busy, artistic and discriminating homeowners who love texture and creativity is what we found in Harlem, NY.

This brownstone garden features living wall planters by Florafelt, Veradek pots and a traditional garden area with grass for lounging, a stone fountain, outdoor audio and deck pots with fresh herbs. To ensure the garden reaches it’s maximum potential, automated irrigation was installed by Pacific Lawn Sprinklers.

The Living wall planters contain evergreens, perennials and ornamental grasses for year round beauty, creating a wonderful tapestry of textures and colors. To keep the garden looking it’s best, Blossoming Beginnings provides fine gardening and landscape maintenance services throughout the year.


rain garden LANDSCAPE DESIGN

In 2020, we were contracted for a multi-year landscape design renovation project for a Demarest home. The installation is ongoing and this portion of the project was completed in 2023.

The homeowners had experienced flooding in their basement and garden areas that were extremely wet and unusable after any rain storm. Over the years, they had consulted many different contractors who proposed various solutions but none were guaranteed and all were quite expensive (over 10K).

We proposed installing a rain garden which resolved the problem they’d been experiencing for ten years. A simple, cost effective solution that works within nature. Our design features deer resistant perennials. The garden features Native plants and water loving varieties. The end result was beautiful and functional, the homeowners are ecstatic!

SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE DESIGN

 

We were tasked with installing a sustainable landscape design for the 1st Passive Energy House located in NJ. Talk about gardens with a purpose! This garden is a testimony to the owner’s love of nature, featuring bee and bird pollinator plants and winter food sources. The owner's installed their own food garden as well as requesting boulders, a nod to their love of South Western garden design.

Featuring: Carex grasses, Solomon’s Seal, Ferns, Goatsbeard, Astilbe, Hydrangeas, Irises, Wild Ginger, Boxwood, Bubblegum Rhododendron, Japanese Ferns, Virginia Bluebells, Deutzia and Hostas.

This client went the extra mile by adding custom engraved artwork featuring her favorite poetry and memorial plaques to her pets. Her garden has become a mainstay of the neighborhood and folks stop by to see it all the time.

 

 

COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Commercial curb appeal, you either have it, or you don't. If your landscape isn't turning heads, beckoning clients to your front door and distinguishing you from the competition, you're operating at a disadvantage. That disadvantage can equate to lost revenue.

Schultz & Associates, located in Hackensack NJ, understands the difference so after their building underwent extensive renovations, they contacted us for a landscape design makeover that would increase their curb appeal and property investment.

The result was classical garden elegance with three season curb appeal. Design images include pre installation and one year later. All garden beds were amended with compost during the installation resulting in a healthy, vigorous garden. Bulbs and seasonal annuals complete the show for non stop color. Curves were added to enliven the small space and a pristine lawn provided a restful expanse of green.

Low maintenance plantings include: Steeds Holly, Boxwoods, Hydrangeas, Colorado Blue Spruce, Japanese Maple, Blue Fescue, Ferns, Irises and Hosta.
