Common Questions
What services do you provide for a typical Brooklyn brownstone garden?
We handle everything from initial design to ongoing care. This includes full landscape construction or installation to build your garden, specialized irrigation setup to keep it healthy, and regular landscape maintenance. For brownstones, we often address specific challenges like compacted soil and limited light to create thriving, beautiful spaces tailored to your home's architecture.
My yard in Brooklyn has standing water and my shrubs are dying. Can you help?
Absolutely. Standing water is a common issue here, often due to soil compaction or poor drainage. We assess the specific cause—whether it requires regrading, installing a French drain, or amending the soil—and correct it. This not only solves the water issue but also creates a healthier environment for new plantings, replacing struggling shrubs with species better suited to Brooklyn's conditions.
Do you offer design services for smaller spaces like terraces?
Yes, we specialize in greenscape design and construction for all scales, including terraces and penthouses. Our process starts with understanding your vision and the unique microclimate of your space. We then create a practical, beautiful design that maximizes greenery and enjoyment, followed by professional installation of planters, irrigation, and all necessary elements to ensure your terrace garden thrives.
