About

LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Starting with thoughtful site analysis, we design and craft landscapes which are experientially rich and ecologically responsible. Composing with form, color, time, and materials while taking into account natural systems, we seek to reveal the genius of a place by amplifying its assets and uncovering its potential.
Our approach is grounded in environmentally sustainable practices such as stormwater management, waste reduction, salvaging existing materials, and empowering people to be agents in the space. From terrace gardens to interior retail installations to envisioning a masterplan for a public school, we work at many scales and value close communication with our clients and the communities we're serving.

CONSTRUCTION
Our skilled crew of horticulturists, carpenters and masons is available to install stone patios, water features, custom planters, trellises, and any other elements in your plan. We hand pick, deliver and install a diverse palette of native and naturalized plants from local nurseries customized to the micro-climate and maintenance requirements of each site.

MAINTENANCE
Superlative white glove horticultural maintenance services are available for penthouses, offices, retail spaces, terraces, townhouse or brownstone backyards, and common roof decks. Weekly, Bi-weekly, and Monthly service packages are available.

Second year for this low maintenance terrace garden we designed and installed. The planting palette here is very simple- a canopy of 2 NYC native River Birches, a Magnolia understory tree, a couple of shrubs, grasses and flowering perennials. Ther
Tulips in bloom at one of our newest projects! We designed and planted two different color themes for each terrace. More to come on this project soon!
We did it again! Every spring for the past 10+ years, the BD crew has inventoried the plants that don't make it, created a planting plan for the replacements, procured the plants before selections are flush at the nurseries and planted! It's no easy
Shots of Witch Hazel in full bloom from yesterday's spring clean up visit. We love how beautifully the blooms contrast with the sugi ban fence. Hellebores and Crocus are blooming in the understory below.
Nice to see the planting we installed in the August heat is making it through this harsh winter. Junipers and Crape Myrtles are all withstanding the winter winds from the Hudson with a blanket of snow protection. As the trees and shrubs establish
Our favorite vertical garden is dormant for the winter with the Hakonechloa grass and Montauk daisy seedheads providing winter interest. We checked in yesterday to water a little to make sure the thawing soil stays in place as temperatures are hove
