Urban Landscape Design & Construction in NYC | Urban Green Design

In the dense urban environment of New York, patchy lawns are often a sign of compacted soil, poor drainage, or insufficient sunlight. At Urban Green Design, we start with a thorough site analysis to diagnose the root cause. For many city properties, we may recommend transitioning to a more resilient greenscape solution, such as a sophisticated container garden, durable ground covers, or a permeable patio installation that enhances usability while eliminating the struggle with traditional grass. Our approach focuses on creating a low-maintenance, vibrant outdoor space suited to the specific microclimate of your property.

Founder Dennis Walker's unique experience is central to our process. The financial and accounting background ensures your project is meticulously planned and managed with clear budgeting from the outset. The influence from high-fashion design brings a sharp eye for form, texture, and cohesive style to the structural elements. This means your terrace and retaining wall won't just be structurally sound and built to last; they will be integrated into a thoughtful, aesthetically pleasing design that complements your home's architecture and your personal taste, much like a tailored garment.

Yes, we provide a complete, start-to-finish service. Our team handles the initial landscape design, all necessary construction and installation—including patios, walkways, and irrigation systems—and we offer ongoing landscape and shrub care to keep your investment looking its best. This integrated approach, managed by a single team, ensures consistency, quality, and deep familiarity with your specific space. It allows us to address any issues promptly and maintain the health and beauty of your urban oasis year-round.
