Common Questions

We have a small backyard in Long Island City that's currently just concrete. Can you really turn it into a garden?

Absolutely. Transforming compact or hardscaped urban spaces is our specialty. We start with a custom design that considers your light, usage, and style, then handle the complete construction—from installing proper drainage and irrigation to building patios, walkways, and planting beds tailored to thrive in our local microclimate. The goal is to create a functional, private garden that feels like a natural extension of your home.

My irrigation timer keeps failing, and my shrubs are overgrown. Do you offer maintenance to fix these common local issues?

Yes, we provide comprehensive landscape maintenance that directly addresses these frequent Long Island City challenges. Our team can diagnose and repair faulty irrigation timers and systems to ensure efficient watering. For overgrown shrubs, we perform skilled pruning to improve plant health and aesthetics, preventing damage to structures and restoring the intended shape of your landscape design. Regular maintenance keeps your investment beautiful and functional.

Do you handle structural projects like retaining walls and exterior construction, or just the planting?

We are a full-service firm capable of handling both the 'hardscape' and 'softscape.' Our services include the design and construction of retaining walls, driveways, exterior walls, patios, and walkways—all the structural elements that form the backbone of a great outdoor space. This integrated approach, managed by one team, ensures cohesive design, proper drainage, and seamless integration with the planting and overall landscape vision.
