Terrace garden design nyc with New York Plantings Garden Designers and Landscape contracting

If you have an empty terrace with no planters this is an exciting time because we can choose the styles you like.  The planters, soil (several bags) gravel for drainage and then the plantings (trees, shrubs, flowers etc.) are the biggest investment.

Private Terrace garden by New York Plantings

Sunny, shade, privacy, the view from inside the home, taking care to not block a special view, color all year, interesting color and the style you like are some things to think about.

With a large terrace you can even have a couple of different styles or "rooms".  Dividing the terrace for a secret garden and one area for entertaining or family.

Maybe you like to grow some herbs or vegetables too.

Drip Irrigation is very important. No way can anyone hand water this and expect to have a nice garden or most times it will not live. Vacation and other things come into question as babysitters never can water how you water. 

Landscape Drip Irrigation NYC

New York Plantings Irrigation and Landscape Lighting have many yrs of exp with automated drip irrigation installation in NYC and Long island area.

Lighting in the taller trees is good too to creating a warm inviting feeling like a lounge or park like feelings.

The corners can have large planters and trees. Corners are always wasted space and the best opportunity to add focal points and you can afford more space in corners of your terrace or rooftop garden.

Consider at least 3 large trees and with large terrace a simple hedge is good. Against the walls is sheltered and we can even have some climbing roses, FIG trees and other delightful plantings.

Making a plan: we can make a top down view on paper so that you know exactly what you are getting.

New York Plantings Irrigation’s water and time saving drip irrigation system.

​ Save up to 75% of the water you normally use to water your terrace, roof garden or townhouse landscape in NYC. At least 50% unless you don't water properly to begin with, in that case the drip irrigation will help you there too.  

Manual or hand watering with a garden hose can take more than 6 hours per week but still not keep the soil moist at all times. 

Spraying the plants with water when you return home from work in the evening...the last thing you feel like doing but you must...all the plants are lilted and looking like old lettuce by the way, you know that watering on a cool evening can create fungus and mold which can kill your plants quickly but no water will kill them too.

New York Plantings Irrigation’s water and time saving drip irrigation system.

So, you take more than an hour if you have a largerooftop garden or full townhouse landscape, use probably 50 gallons of water, can’t be there in the heat of the day...not to mention going on vacation and asking people who have absolutely no clue to water your plants while you are away...

water and time saving drip irrigation system - New York Plantings Irrigation

So, let’s say you have New York Plantings DripIrrigation specialists come and install a modern electronically controlled drip irrigation system that will save you literally a hundred hours per season in labour time, outperform even the most careful and knowledgeable gardeners by simply setting the automatic irrigation timer and moving on about your life, you can go on vacation and not worry about your garden being dead or worse when you arrive home.

  Never mind the time and hassle of the dirty tangled hose, think about the newly installed drip irrigation system for your penthouse garden or townhouse landscape actually paying you back. The payback in water savings may take 3-5 years in reduced electric bills in a temperate zone, less time in the warmer zones.

Lastly, if you are in a place such as California or Arizona effected by drought not using drip irrigation and making you about as popular as a Nazi if you think you are going to hook up that crappy lawn sprinkler during water restrictions imposed by local governments. Why would you want to waste water anyway? 

   Get a drip irrigation system. You will look like the hero gardener.

Spring Garden Services NYC and it's importance.

Spring Roof Top Garden Design by New York Plantings

The best time for service scheduling is late Fall and Late winter when you can even have the landscape company owner visit your property in person.

                         

The right time for "spring landscape or rooftop gardener's work"

Sod lawns Installation

                                        The importance of Spring Garden Services, irrigation system and landscape maintenance is obvious. The right time for "spring landscapeor rooftop gardener's work" however is late winter especially in the typically mild NYC climate.  Several reasons for this and I will write a blog about it later. Landscaping, true landscaping in my mind isn't cutting grass and blowing off driveways although landscape maintenance services do include the need for a good clean up. Landscaping is landscape design, continuous garden design improvements.

NYC Landscaping Service

spring Gardening

Mild climate does not diminish the fact that the NYC roof gardener faces challenges that the typical NY landscape company or look and feel of the outdoor space to what the client imagined or wishes they could have. Simply ensuring that that the gardens become established is a good way to start a true landscape or garden maintenance service. Healthy, mature trees, shrubs and perennial flowers are most appreciated and look great on their own, increasing in value, increasing the value of the property and standing in the intended purpose they were designed to fulfill. For example, A privacy hedge that is well cared for will give much better return on investment and of course look great. I would rather have to shear a strong growing hedge than replace spindly weak and sparse trees that do not fulfil the landscape design goals even years after installation.

By ensuring that the trees and shrubs that make up the foundation of our gardens or landscapes thrive we can then focus on improving and personalizing our outdoor spaces (enjoying them, even!) and not continuously throw time and money at replacing plantings that should last for decades when properly planted and cared for.

 In NYC garden design and landscape services industry I often see trees and shrubs that are placed by NYC florists or general labour in planters for a NYC penthouse garden that barely stay alive, never grow and often can be pulled out with one hand even though they have been in place for a few seasons. I am still amazed at the shortcuts and lack of even standard garden practice by the NYC gardeners and wonder why they choose this trade over maybe something more fitting such as McDonalds. Not to say that I haven't made my mistakes! Wow. There is no real training to become a master gardener in the urban garden design trade. Self proclaimed master gardener, that is, with a few people who actually agree. We aren't talking about a vegetable garden.

I did have extensive landscape knowledge and formal training, hands on garden experience such as planting huge trees, shrubs, flowers and learning through a decade of amateur landscaping and ornamental horticulture before breaking into the Manhattan rooftop garden and terrace garden services trade. "Gardening in a box?" I thought...well, how hard can it be? Just as my first few plantings didn't do too well in the traditional landscapes of the high end Long Island homes I landscaped, the first few rooftop garden plantings didn't go so well either.

       Over the several years working in the NYC garden and landscape industry and always leaning towards gardening as my favourite part of the business, I took the time to learn, ponder and master the techniques to sustain the beautiful (and often expensive) plantings of the NYC penthouse gardens, roof gardens and terraces. 

Winterizing Your Irrigation System

 

 After such a harsh and record cold winter the ever important Spring Garden service, Landscaping, drip irrigation and lawn sprinkler services by New York Plantings Garden Designers and Landscape Contracting is key to the good health of your landscaping, NYC greenroof or rooftop garden. With decades of hands on landscape and gardening enthusiasm, (not ever cutting grass!) We still look forward to the Spring Landscape and gardening services season.

New clients to meet and the support of our core garden and landscape clients is motivation to shake off the frost and get to work.

     NY Plantings Garden Designers does work year round and hopefully will continue to grow into a most established and revered landscape design and build firm. That said, you can make appointments early with your NYC landscape or garden company and ensure that you have a head start to protect and give your plantings a boost before the drying winds and warm days take the strength stored for Spring from your plantings. In the ground or a traditional landscape, the significance of this early spring garden service is less urgent.

                                        

spring garden service

                   

The rooftop or terrace garden owner need only find the right gardener or NY garden company such as New York Plantings to maintain a garden with proper tree care and garden practices. If you are a "do it yourselfer" The owner of NY Plantings will at times consider a stop by to consult and perform a one time garden service while discussing with you suggestions on how to improve your garden's health, techniques that professionals use and perhaps to let you know you are doing everything very well.

             Please contact NY Plantings Garden Designers and Landscape Contracting if you are serious about improving your outdoor space, want a garden that you simply cannot get from the typical NYC garden company or looking for solution to a challenging situation such as the need for privacy, improving the view from inside the home or both.

Custom IPE planter boxes supplier NYC

It’s going to be a wheelie good IPE planter box.By New York Plantings Garden Designers and Landscape Contractors NYC ‪#‎newyorkplantings.

When building custom planter boxes with casters or wheels planter boxes with wheels need to have reinforced mounting pads or else they will just fall apart like most things the people in New York City built.

Custom-made IPE planter boxes
Special Edition custom planter boxes using to buy 10 pressure treated lumber and a frameless design with hidden fasteners.

These planters are even stronger without a frame due to the fact that we used long screws that run from the centre of the board using a special jig. It takes an enthusiast and someone who has a love for woodwork and making things with their hands to create something unique and durable. If you want to buy planter boxes one time and not have to buy them every few years you can come to New York plantings garden designers and landscape contracting NYC. We use real solid wood and screws that are made for outdoor use. No brads or staples holding together thin wobbly planter boxes. 

The custom made woodplanter box photos in this post show only part of the process. Each board is trimmed two equal width planed and shaved to the same thickness and to perfection so when the boards are joined together there are no gaps and a nice tight fit that nearly holds itself together without fasteners. It’s almost a shame that we have to paint these for a restaurant in Rockefeller Centre because a light coat of stain would look beautiful! 

The newest addition to the New York plantings garden designers and landscape construction custom built planter and planter box shop! But grizzly 10 inch jointer is going to make our boards nice and flat..... Nothing like good straight hardwood!

Custom built planters who would have think it? I just wish that when I got a wooden crate that there was a motorcycle inside!

Long clamps on a 42 inch rectangular custom planter box built for marine ply liner with IPE Brazilian hardwood fascia. We will give this a rubberized membrane liner and a 4 inch IPE top cap. This is for a townhouse Garden in New York City. Don’t buy Kmart planters for your 10 million dollar house. New Yorkplantings garden design and landscape construction builds custom planter boxes.

Planter Making Ideas by NY Plantings

3 main challenges to plantings on a rooftop - NY Roof Top Gardene Designer

Know more about High performance planters!

I see that many people use the foam board as insulator for planters and what I imagine is that the benefit is not so much to protect the roots as people would assume but more to dilute or hamper the broad variations in temperature from early morning to

midday sun in Summer. Metal becomes hot quickly and the rapid heating of the soil would likely cause some unfavorable conditions for root growth. Maybe foam board holds a bit of moisture too even though they claim it is closed cell.

In winter the insulating properties of foam board cannot hurt since the planter is not as favorable an environment as the ground. Plantings that are rated to survive at -20 degrees F. or colder still do not survive much more mild NYC winters in planters than they could survive in the ground. (Even if they have moisture). New York Plantings is the best planter provider and roof top gardening service provider in NYC.

I haven't tried it but a moisture retaining matt would likely do well in the planters, since another reason for plant failure is drying out in winter. Even dormant plantings and especially evergreens require water all year round: this is overlooked by many. If the matt will still pass water efficiently then

perhaps we can use some. 

Roof Top Garden Designer NYC

There is a new drainage filter that looks like air conditioner filters that reduces weight by replacing gravel in planters. Perhaps you already know of this.  

Warm, mild dry spells in winter can kill plantings just as easily as severe cold.Wind is another force that wicks the moisture from plantings. In winter the irrigation is turned off in the fall that is the problem because even in winter we still need some moisture in winter and have to find ways to help our plants. NY Plantings supply 10 moist soil and retain moisture in winter.Drip Irrigation and automated watering system service provider in NYC. - NY Irrigation

I put allot of thought into this since my roots are in traditional landscape and ornamental horticulture on Long Island and the hard time I had coming to work in NYC "gardening in a box" had to relearn my trade, then growing my business we have several left over plants to keep over winter and last

year lost 80% of our plants in pots that normally make it through winter with no problems. This has led me to think of how plants live and survive and what we have to provide in order to support them. I'm sure that creating the largest

root system possible and then a heavy layer of organics is the first line of defense. Drainage is second but just as important. Insulating the planters will certainly help. I don't think we need to waterproof the inside unless you have

some specific requirement.
