Perennial Gardens Inc.

When we bought our house, we had an enormous challenge. A huge section of our sloped backyard had been ignored for decades. Overgrowth, toppled walls, dangerous erosion and various strucrures in disrepair, some ready to fall. A garage that rained INSIDE due to the disrepair of its flat roof and hundreds of pounds of soil and stone on top of it.
Sean Alvarez and his crew were the perfect people for our job. He listened, first. Answered a hundred questions and patiently showed us all the options available to us. Throughout the months of the job he was always available for our many questions and always ready to stop by the site to check on the work.
Every time we look out our widows and see what is now a beautiful green vista, we are so glad that we hired Perennial Gardens to do the job. More...

Perennial Gardens has always been a pleasure to work with. Their crews are organized and efficient and know how to properly plant trees, shrubs etc. They have a wealth of knowledge in plants materials, help in design layout, and execute the project in a professional and workmanlike manner. I would highly recommend them for any landscape project. More...

Working with Steve Alfano, we have done two projects. The first was more extensive with boulders and other plantings- deer resistant- to add summer color to our view. The second was for an area where we installed a pergola.
Steve was helpful, knowledgeable and an easy person with whom to communicate. The plantings have been in place less than a year, so we are looking forward to seeing our results this summer. We also engaged Perennial Gardens to do bed clean-up and fertilization for this spring. More...

Storm Sandy decided to relocate over 100 Norwegian Spruce trees. One of these 120 ft monsters came through my kitchen ceiling. ... It was not a good morning. Steve stepped in to this mess and did a great job! We now have a supurb lawn, splendid rhodis, and gorgious trees from cherry to giant aborvitae. He has my higest recommendation, and I am not one who is known to be easily pleased. More...

Steve Alfano, from Perennial Gardens, was fantastic! We had a pretty good idea what we were looking for to start. However, after having received quotes from a couple competitors, not only did Steve, and Perennial Gardens, come in with a quote half the size of it's competitors, Steve was also able to make several suggestions that really made the property and plantings "pop". He and his staff were fast, but thorough. In addition he guarantees his plants for one full year!! Highly recommended!!!! More...

Whether the project is large (many years ago) or small (this one), Augie and Steve quickly translated my wishes into perfection. The project goal was to tie in a cantilevered deck into its natural woodsy surroundings .... the design was accomplished by using natural boulders, grading and ground cover ... it is beautiful! My thanks to Augie and Steve for their enthusiasm and knowledge and their crew for such good work, concern for detail and friendliness. Highly recommend Perennial Gardens for their professionalism, responsive communication and good working relationship. More...

We hired Perennial Gardens entirely off an extremely positive referral for someone who worked with Steve Alfano. We had just bought a home and wanted to level out our extremely slanted and stone riddled backyard. We were also considering several other side projects. Steve was honest, knowledgable and was actively telling us elements of the job that weren't necessary and would save us money, which is so refreshing to see from a contracting professional. Not sure you can beat the quality/cost combination from Perennial Gardens. The best thing I could say about them is that we're planning another project this year and we will be using Steve and Perennial Gardens again.

Note: Before and after photos attached. For the after photo, imagine all that dirt now covered in green grass and look at all the stones aligned against the new opening in the deck. Previously, there was a four foot drop off the deck and now you can walk right off the deck into the yard. More...

I have had multiple masonry projects done by Perennial Gardens. The 2 major projects done in the last couple of years were a semi-circular stone wall around our generator and a new blue stone patio around our pool. Steve Alfano manages all masonry projects. The work is exquisite. Steve comes to discuss all work and has a catalog of many stone work styles. He always sends me a detailed estimate. Whenever I have had a question he has returned my call or email immediately. His team of masons are experts and very careful. I have been so pleased with the work they have done. If ever the work or the workmen would be delayed Steve immediately notified me. All projects were completed on time and on budget. Of all the service providers I have dealt with, Steve and Perennial Gardens are the best! More...

Perennial Gardens executed a sizable architectural landscape plan, which included extensive masonry work as well as plantings, over a period of months. Stephen Alfano, who was in charge of performing the work, is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with.

Perennial Gardens has been in charge of our landscaping for 20 years, from design to maintenance to coordinating work with other vendors. 20 years ago they had the vision of what the property would look like as it matured, and they have executed beautifully. They stay on top of the property's needs, always deliver what they promise, can handle most everything (but do not hesitate to acknowledge their limits and recommend and oversee a specialist, such as when a tree developed a serious problem) and take care of everything in a manner that is professional and respectful. They care about the quality of their work, the quality of our property, and the quality of our working relationship - what more could you ask for? More...

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this gem of a place. We showed up early this morning with two children in tow and Margaret patiently walked us all around the gardens and helped guide us towards the best plants for our space. She was thoughtful and asked all the right questions. She gave thorough answers. Most importantly she gave us great information and kindly left us to make our decisions in private before helping to arrange a delivery of our beautiful new plants and fruit bushes. The staff are all so friendly and their selections of flowers, plants, bushes, trees (including fruit trees!!), herbs, vegetables, and berries are extraordinary. This is our new go to place for all of our landscaping and gardening needs. Thank you Margaret! You've made a lifetime customer. More...

I love Perennial Gardens! Myles has created an extraordinary oasis. The mix of offerings is impressive- I always find something special here and they can find that certain special thing for me if they don't have it in stock. They have foliage which I can't find anywhere else and I always find something wonderful here for special occasions. Their hanging potted plants are well priced and very beautiful. They have a great selection of vigorous and beautiful plants, trees, bushes, veggies, flowering trees, fruit trees, vines, potting benches, pots, soils, waterardens, indoor, outdoor garden supplies. My farm is outfitted with many of their extraordinary trees, bushes, perennial flowers.  Their customer service is always wonderful. They stand behind their product as well. Steve was a great help on several projects where i wanted to screen my property with a mix of rare evergreens. These things are going strong in an unfavorable location several years later! It's a great shopping experience as well. After enjoying selecting outdoor plantings I always find something nice in their lovely shop indoors as well. The arrangements are gorgeous and the eclectic mix of pots, aprons, gardening gloves and garden inspired nic nacs and potpourris - it's like a little heavenly spa environment which i take back with me! The gals inside have great attitudes. Customer service is a rare special treat and it's always nice to see that smiling face too amongst all the pretty flowers! Bravo Perennial Gardens! we are lucky to have you in our community! More...

After dealing with too many contractors that didn't even return phone calls, I was referred to Perennial from an landscape designer that is well respected. Steve returned my call and set up an appointment in the middle of the summer within 48 hours, which was appreciated.
His assessment of the project seemed spot on and he listened to what we were trying to achieve in regards to aesthetics and drainage. The project was wrapped up in less than 2 weeks, and stayed on budget.
The only reason I can't do 5 stars is that it wasn't made clear that the drainage pipe would be installed which means ripping up part of the yard to run a pipe, so now I'm missing grass and need to pay for new turf.
However, I love having our new blue-stone patio and would like to use Perennial for other projects in the future. More...

I write this letter in recommendation Perennial Gardens as a general landscape contractor. I had the pleasure of working with Augie and Sean Alvarez on the construction of our outdoor living space. I can recommend him highly and without reservation.
Throughout the course of the renovation, Sean Alvarez was a consummate professional. He was accurate in his initial assessment of the scale and cost of our project. He was absolutely clear in his record keeping and time log. He chose and managed the sub-contractors well.
Our job was done with care and precision. In addition, he is extremely clean and tidy in the workplace. He and his workers never left the worksite in disarray. Good work takes time to complete. Patience is required when you work with a perfectionist. Although our project took time to complete, I think we have a wonderful outcome and a work of art.
