NYC landscape lighting

Your vision, brought to life with expert precision. Our comprehensive landscape design and construction service is the foundation of every beautiful urban garden we create in New York City. We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and the unique potential of your space—whether it's a sprawling penthouse terrace or a cozy Brooklyn backyard.

Our process is collaborative and thorough. We develop custom plans that integrate the best available plants and hardscape materials, ensuring durability, beauty, and functionality. We specialize in the complexities of city construction, managing everything from structural assessments for rooftop gardens to efficient drainage solutions for terraces. For the busy New Yorker, this turnkey service means you can relax while we handle all the details, from initial concept to the final planting. We pride ourselves on completing projects in a timely, professional manner, exceeding your expectations and transforming your outdoor area into a personal sanctuary you'll love for years to come.

Give your garden the consistent care it needs without the daily hassle. Our custom drip irrigation systems are engineered specifically for the container gardens, planter boxes, and raised beds common in New York City's urban landscapes. This targeted watering method delivers moisture directly to the root zone of each plant, promoting healthier growth while conserving up to 50% more water than traditional sprinklers.

We design each system for ease of use and maintenance, often integrating smart timers that can be controlled from your phone. This is ideal for the busy professional or frequent traveler—your garden stays perfectly hydrated even when you're away. Our installation is clean and discreet, blending seamlessly into your garden's design. We also provide ongoing irrigation maintenance to winterize the system, check for leaks, and make seasonal adjustments. Investing in a professional drip irrigation system from Metropolitan Garden Design means less worry, lower water bills, and a consistently thriving urban oasis.

Keep your urban oasis looking immaculate year-round with our tailored garden maintenance packages. We understand that life in New York City is fast-paced, and garden upkeep can easily fall by the wayside. Our professional maintenance services ensure your green space remains a point of pride and relaxation, not a source of stress.

Our skilled team provides a full spectrum of care, from essential fertilizing and sweeping to expert plant health care and precision pruning. We adapt our services with the seasons, installing vibrant seasonal plantings in the cooler months so your garden never looks dull. We also offer specialized services like garden pressure washing to clean hardscapes, dog park maintenance for pet-friendly buildings, and irrigation system check-ups. By entrusting your garden to us, you gain peace of mind and more time to enjoy your beautiful outdoor retreat. Let us handle the work so you can reap the rewards.

Extend the beauty and usability of your garden well into the evening with our professional landscape lighting design. The right lighting transforms your New York City outdoor space, creating ambiance, highlighting architectural and botanical features, and ensuring safety on pathways and steps.

We design lighting schemes that are both artistic and functional. Using energy-efficient LED fixtures, we can uplight trees, wash walls with light, create soft path illumination, and add focal points to water features or sculptures. Our expertise ensures the lighting is balanced, avoids light pollution for neighbors, and is installed with weatherproof durability in mind. Enjoy alfresco dinners, evening gatherings, or simply a quiet moment under the stars in a garden that shines after dark. Our lighting solutions add a magical dimension to your urban oasis, making it a welcoming retreat day and night.
