Being dabah designs

So you may have been reading all of our articles and checking out our website with their lovely landscape designs but did you ever wonder about us?

We are small company. There are three of us in the office and we have a crew of three guys. In addition we have our Mason and his crew and that's it.

We also have a group of people we use to subcontract certain jobs such as plumbing and electric. We know them all and they know us. They are like our extended family.

Because we're so small it means that we all have to wear many hats as the saying goes. We all have to know how to do bits of a LOT of different jobs.

That means when you first meet us and talk about your project and your vision we are more than capable of giving you suggestions and ideas and what's good and what's not good. We've done it all before.

Since we are small we are also very invested in our local community. We donate where we can and support community projects. We have donated a good bit of time and materials to Cohome in Morristown. This is a charity that helps handicap people learn to live in society. We donate to some of the local PTA organizations and have participated in Morristown's "grow it green" program.

We've won awards many years in a row with our designs and are execution.

Not only that, all of us in the office are women.

Pamela Dabah, the company founder has worked in some form of landscaping most of her life. If you read her bio on the website you'll know that she went from University to living in a teepee on an Indian reservation to working in New York City designing parks for the city.

She understands how everything goes together she can design a concrete wall, and outdoor kitchen, a hidden garden or lavish landscaping. She knows when our equipment needs to be maintained and she knows all the good places to buy materials to get the most out of a clients budget.

Shannon has worked as a landscape designer for well over 10 years. Her specialty is her eye for new plant varieties, how to take care of them and how they look best in your yard. She likes to wander through the local nurseries in her spare time searching for what would best fit in a project.

Sue the office manager is a hobby gardener with a long career in information technology. When she first started she had to teach the crew how to backup a truck and trailer. She understands vague ideas and is able to break them down into component parts and convert them into estimates. If you need to research something she is the one to go to as she can find darn near anything on the internet or other resources. She maintains the website and finds more efficient ways to run the business.
