Every garden we design starts with a conversation about how you live and what you want from your outdoor space. We look at the light, the layout, and the practical limits of your site, then build a plan around plants and materials that will hold up in a city setting.

We handle the structure and the greenery together, so the finished space feels like one coherent place rather t...

Terraces in Manhattan come with their own constraints, from weight limits and drainage to wind exposure and limited sun. We plan for these from the start, choosing lightweight planters, durable paving, and plants that tolerate exposed conditions. Our crew handles the full build, including the hardscape, soil, and planting, and we think about how you will actually use the space, whether for quiet mornings or evening gatherings. The result is a terrace that looks settled and green, with the practi...

Rooftop gardens in Brooklyn need careful planning around structural load, waterproofing, and access. Before we design anything, we assess what the roof can carry and map out drainage so water moves away from the building. From there we select plants suited to rooftop wind and heat, along with containers and paving that keep the weight manageable. We build the garden in stages with the roof in mind, and we can plan for seating, planting beds, and simple paths. You end up with a rooftop that feels...

Drip irrigation suits the container gardens, planter boxes, and raised beds common across New York City. We design each system to deliver water slowly to the root zone of each plant, which keeps plants healthier and uses less water than sprinklers. Many systems can be run from a phone with a smart timer, which helps when you are away. Installation is neat and blends into the planting, and we offer seasonal checks to winterize the system, look for leaks, and adjust the timing as the weather chang...

Whether you want a quiet glow for evening conversation or a brighter setup for entertaining, we tail...

Container gardens can be just as rich as in-ground beds when they are planned well. We choose pots, planters, and soil mixes that suit the space and the weight limits of your terrace or balcony, then select a combination of plants that stays attractive through the seasons.

We can also set up the watering and plant care so your containers stay healthy without constant attention...
