Blue In Green

Naima and her team just completed my outdoor space and I am thrilled! From the design to installation, the decking to the plants and lighting to irrigation, Naima was able to guide me through the many steps to creating a truly special outdoor retreat. When we first spoke, I told Naima that I have a busy work schedule and needed one stop shopping if you will. Soup to nuts, Naima did not disappoint (down to checking furniture measurements for me). She took care of everything, and when she couldn't, Naima coordinated with the other contractors and oversaw their work for me. Moreover, Naima worked within my budget and was significantly less expensive than the other estimates I saw. Not only did I love the work that blue in green did, my building loved it as well. Naima and her team were very conscientious, and carried trees and plants and decking through the lobby without leaving behind a leaf. If you are still unsure, just call her. One meeting and you will also be singing her praise (my husband never even met Naima and agrees...).

Naima may come with a degree in horticulture but I feel sure that instinct like hers can't be learned. With awe I watch as flats of annuals, perennials, shrubs, bulbs arrive and are distributed throughout the garden (a small Brooklyn garden, mind you) with dispatch. The end result of color, texture, variety and sculpture looks as untamed and untrained as I requested. I have even seen her do all this at nine months pregnant still sure and becalmed. I know Naima can tailor to any preference as I have heard stories ranging from Brooklyn to the Upper East Side. Her caring for her clients extends, naturally, to the plants and their habitats. She strives to work, for example, with as many native species as possible. It is with a hint of trepidation that I let word of Naima out. She is organized, timely and deeply caring. Only the like minded may apply.
