This Brooklyn Heights townhouse features a bluestone deck, custom bench with built-in lighting, and ipe planter boxes. This sunny, cheerful roof garden is more exposed to the elements and windier than most ground-level gardens, so we picked a hardy sun-loving mix of junipers, crape myrtles, roses, and flowering perennials that would do well here.

This co-op roof deck for a large apartment building in Midtown East, Manhattan is made for different groups of people to all enjoy at the same time.

This Brooklyn backyard features a bluestone patio, horizontal knotty cedar fencing, a custom L-shaped sectional bench, a built-in jacuzzi, and contemporary plantings. A built-in jacuzzi is a great alternative to a pre-fab unit. It looks very high-end, and it doesn't require craning it over the brownstone to get it into the backyard, which would cost thousands of dollars and require permits.

This custom-built Brooklyn Heights roof deck features amazing views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. We wanted the garden to feel like a lush little sanctuary with lots of warm wood tones, a jacuzzi, privacy screens, and gorgeous ceramic pots.

This rooftop garden landscape design NYC is located in Manhattan's West Village and features metal planter boxes filled with a lush assortment of plantings that enhance, rather than obscure, the skyline views.

This Clinton Hill, Brooklyn patio features custom-built wood planters, concrete-blend pavers, and a sunken deck-level planter filled with polished river stones and variegated irises. When I arrived at the initial consultation with the client, she said she was unhappy with the awkward existing layout, and the existing deck tiles were unattractive and uneven.
