Marders

In 1975, Kathleen and Charlie started a landscaping business with the goal of creating gardens that reflect homeowners’ tastes, emphasize the character of the local environment, and provide an alternative to “cookie cutter” backyards. Marders was among the first businesses in the nation to own a large-scale tree spade. The machinery was a game-changer in terms of planting and transplanting trees. Through creative trial and error and influential client relationships with the artists who populate the Hamptons, the Marders developed an expertise and an original point of view that has defined their company and their family to this day.
