“Holmes Fine Gardens has been great. We came to Dan with an idea and he turned it into reality. We have an awesome, usable outdoor space and I feel it was built as though it was going into Dan’s own home.”
Andrew S. - Sandy Hook, CT

“Holmes Fine Gardens is our definitive choice for property maintenance on our estate year after year. When the spring clean-up is complete, our property ‘just shines!’.” Their knowledge and expertise in horticulture is unsurpassed in our area.”
John C. - Sandy Hook, CT

“There used to be a Martinson coffee commercial where the tag line was ‘old Joe Martinson’ saying that you got what you paid for. The same could be said in almost any situation. If you are looking for the cheapest solution to a problem, Dan Holmes is probably not your guy. But if you want somebody to put some thought into a project, offer a range of alternative solutions and then execute the agreed upon plan correctly, completely and on time, then Holmes Fine Gardens are the right people. That is about the biggest compliment I think any business person can earn. The other thing that I particularly appreciate about Dan is that he is both confident and honest enough to tell you when you are asking him to do something that they don’t do and is glad to suggest another company.”
Charles B. - Newtown, CT

“I enjoyed working with Dan in a collaborative way combining his ideas and designs with our needs and expectations. It was a pleasure to work together to achieve the landscape and patio we dreamed of.”
Alan F. - Fairfield, CT

“Dan’s handling of our project, from design, permitting, and installation was managed completely and competently from start to finish minimizing my involvement. The design was unique compared to other presentations that were made to us and the Holmes Fine Gardens crew went above and beyond the call of duty to work with my neighbors who were greatly impacted by the scope of the project. The completed project has drawn rave reviews from my neighbors who have all asked for [Dan’s] phone number and was not only beautiful, but blended seamlessly into the natural surroundings of the property.”
Peter S. - Sherman, CT

“Dan and Holmes Fine Gardens are my go-to company for planting and re-evaluation of any property. Their knowledge and love of what they do shows, and their respect for horticultural history and indigenous plantings to the Northeast is inspiring.”
Mary F. - Newtown, CT

“Dan worked tirelessly with us to create a beautiful garden setting and stone patio around our pool. It's comforting to see the same crew members year after year. Dan seems to have a strong relationship with his employees, the result of which is a staff who care about their work.”
