A Manhattan terrace can be a quiet place for morning coffee or a lively spot for guests, but it needs careful planning to get there. We look at how much light the terrace gets, how the wind moves across it, and how much weight the structure can carry before choosing plants and materials. Our team builds layouts that make the most of tight footprints, using containers, planting beds, and clean hardscape that suit the building. We handle the details so the finished terrace feels like a natural ext...

Rooftops in Brooklyn get strong sun, drying wind, and loads that have to be planned around, so the design has to be done with those conditions in mind. We begin by checking the roof's exposure and structural limits, then choose plants that handle the heat and the exposure. Lightweight containers, durable decking, and built-in watering keep the garden manageable. Whether you want a green retreat for yourself or a rooftop set up for entertaining, we design something that holds up through every sea...

Container gardens and rooftop plantings dry out quickly, and daily watering gets old fast. We design and install drip irrigation systems that deliver water straight to the root zone of each plant.

Each system is laid out for your specific plants and layout, using quality tubing, emitters, and timers. Once it is running, your garden gets the water it needs on a schedule you set, and you can spend your...
