Business Spotlight: Peak Landscaping and Design


Owner Brenda De Leon
What I do: 
I own a landscaping & garden care company. We service Dutchess, Putnam, & Westchester Counties. 

How it began: 
I spent 10 years managing a high-end construction firm and learned everything from building a home to landscaping. At the same time, I freelanced as a consultant and helped small contractors start their own enterprises. Many flourished and are still in business today. I also became fascinated with the numerous health benefits that a well-designed landscape can bring to a homeowner. I love spending time in nature. It’s soothing, therapeutic and healthy, and with proper planning, anyone can have the same environment in their own backyard. Always having an entrepreneurial spirit, and my love for the outdoors, in 2007 I felt it was time. I started a company with a vision to focus on its employees because I strongly believe that happy employees are more productive on the field and lead to satisfied customers.

Our primary clientele:
Homeowners who want to make their backyard inviting by creating a new garden bed, bird sanctuary, butterfly garden, pond or water feature. We also have clients that love digging in the dirt, (DIYers) but need to jumpstart their garden and we can remove weeds and invasive plants and make it garden ready. If you have an outdated landscape and want to replace with sustainable plants, we can give your landscape a revamp. 

Most unique thing about us: 
What makes my business unique is my team. I love what we do and put in our all in every single project we come across. We utilize the satisfied customer strategy. We provide every single customer with respect, attentiveness, and personalized friendly care. I’ve always been fascinated with entrepreneurship and being personally involved in every aspect of a business. Personal contact with employees and customers leads to long-lasting relationships that create trust and friendships. It’s a belief that I feel strongly about today.

Odds & Ends March/April 2018

Picking Up the Pieces Everything old can be made new again. Or at least it can be made different. Such is the premise of Unshattered – a nonprofit social enterprise where women who are winning their battle against addiction make handbags and other products out of repurposed items and other materials. Having completed the recovery program at the Walter Hoving Home - a Garrison residential rehabilitation center for women overcoming alcoholism, drug and other addictions - the women of Unshattered use high-quality, donated materials to make beautifully useful products, and express themselves creatively. The organization’s mission is to help the women find a path forward to economic independence and sustained sobriety, which is done by helping them gain skills as bag designers, seamstresses, salespeople, production and office managers, and design specialists to prepare for their futures. Proceeds form the sales of the products funnel back into Hoving Home programs. Unshatte
