If you require alternative methods of application or screening, you must approach the employer directly to request this.
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.
When the iconic Marders retail Garden Shop and Nursery moved from Montauk Highway in Bridgehampton to its current location on Snake Hollow Road behind the Bridgehampton Commons shopping plaza, the move allowed for park-like displays of unique nursery stock that could be enjoyed by gardeners, shoppers, and families.
As the Marders reputation for quality work grew, so did the business. The original 18 acres expanded to 33 acres, with an additional 8 acres for machinery, a fleet, a horticultural annex, and a tree farm.
Their work has enhanced botanical gardens, private residences, and cultural institutions throughout the tri-state and New England regions.
Marders implements organic practices and procedures in all divisions.
