20th century landscaping doesn't work today.
Many urban apartment building gardens were designed to benefit the landscaping company. The photo to the left is an example of a building in Brooklyn, where a weed tree is surrounded by shrubbery. This requires constant maintenance, including shrub pruning, mowing and blowing. We can do better.
Issues:
1. High Maintenance Costs
2. Aesthetically unpleasant & Functionally unusable
3. Decreased Property Value
21st Century landscaping is about conservation & beauty.
Our design benefits all of the tenants in the building and the community at large. We replaced the weed tree with a waterfall and the pruned shrubs with ornamental flowering shrubs for seasonal beauty.
