Not sure how big your project is...but you may not need to involve an architect depending on the scale. A lot of landscape companies will bring their own designs/ideas based on what they have done for similar spaces.

Also you may want to find out where your water table is, where your septic is (if u have one) and the location of any drainage systems (for gutters, footing drains, etc.).

That will be some of the first questions you will need answered, and a landscape company may be able to figure that out on their own without outside help (an architect may charge you extra to hire third parties).

Again, depends on your scope and your needs. Also you should know that with the weather warming up, everyone's scheduling is likely filling up fast.

(Not an ad I promise) I've worked with Bolton Landscaping and I think he might suit your needs.

Hope this helps!

NextDoor might be your best option for recommendations.

You can try contacting Costello on Crescent St. He’s done that kind of work in the past but I don’t know if he still does.

Stamford Animal Control; Adopt A Dog (lots of puppies from down south); Lucky Dog; Red Leash Rescue. All have social media accounts. Yay!

Plenty of places north of the Merritt could be a half day job, but those aren't the places worried about leaf blower noise either, I guess.

I had a lawn business years ago in the DC area, and it's really tough to make decent money without scale. Had one good cash cow: with three guys, I'd do 44 lawns every other Thursday. Slumlord owned about 3 consecutive blocks of Section 8 duplexes in a rough part of town. Small, flat, identical lawns with no landscaping or fences, and all in a row, it took about nine and a half hours of pure hustle and paid $1400. God bless that dirtbag.

You must hate dogs.

They do that you will end up paying more for landscaping, it will take twice as long to clear leaves from properties, they are way underpowered and the amount of down time to charge batteries

I highly doubt that bud, the crew I worked with would have dusted you. Then the boss would have given the okay to dump all the gathered leaves on you door step. Then again he wasn't a reasonable human.

Can testify this is 100% a fact having been in the landscape business before, in 4 hours you could only realistically get maybe 3 houses done with a crew of 4. Now if you were below the parkway you could get maybe 9 houses done. As it is when I worked a full day landscaping we only got 5-7 houses done and that was a lot, we only got that number done because 4 of the houses were right next to each other.

Lucky dog was the easiest pet rescue/adoption place we worked with! Also very local on Pulaski st downtown.

Stamford animal control also has dogs available for adoption

Lucky Dog uses VCA Darien. They can just roll you in if you don't have a vet already.

Puppies in Norwalk (very close to Stew Leonard's)

In addition to DAWS, checkout the Connecticut Humane Society in Westport. We adopted our dog from there and had a great experience.

Big fan of Danbury animal welfare society (DAWS.org).

Lucky Dog is great. Another that is not that close (upper Westchester) but I would also recommend is A Good Dog Rescue in Verplanck. We got our rescue there and they’re amazing. The woman that owns it is so kind.

Whoever you go with, just FYI you’ll most likely have to get set up with a vet beforehand, so I’d call around and see who is accepting new patients/clients.

It’s a signifier of having to pay too much to live there.

I’m a product manager for 8+ years and would be happy to chat. Feel free to PM me

Hey! I work at Freepoint and on the occasion we have hh’s we head to capital grille or barcelona. I’ve connected with people who work at P72 & UBS at these places as well. A CLE event may be a decent place to start for you, good luck!

Wasn't aware of that post but damn, was kinda hoping r/k-carbine was right and this was a bat signal. A unsightly yellow clock, wow, that's just what we need in Stamford.

Couldn’t they have come up with a more aesthetic design for the bracket mount that connects it to the building? The amount of metal holding it to the building is bigger than the clock itself! Definitely unsightly AF!

Perhaps it's just marketing... to get people to make posts exactly like this and talk about URBY! Genius really.

Live here and confirmed with management it’s a clock

It’s the URBY ring - designed to hypnotize residents of Stamford to become loyal to urby and urby alone

Odd since the cafe is an independent business and definitely not residents-only.
