Modern update to a typical South Park Slope row house with Synthtic lawn, Cedar horizontal fence, Bluestone patio, curved Corten planter with perennials and new metal deck with stairs in Ipe wood.

In this recently completed project in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, a previously underutilized and awkwardly laid-out backyard was reimagined as a sleek, modern outdoor retreat. The garden was thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones: a dining and cooking area anchored by a modern outdoor kitchen, a quiet, contemplative nook designed for one or two people to unwind, and a generous lounge space featuring a custom curved Ipe bench beneath a minimalist pergola. To complete the transformation, integrated lighting, irrigation, and a fully equipped kitchen were installed. A clean-lined fence was added to screen out negative views, helping to create a private, oasis-like atmosphere in the heart of the city. The result is a sophisticated, highly functional garden that extends the home’s living space and supports year-round enjoyment.

"This Greenwood backyard was transformed into a low-maintenance haven for a busy family. The design features spaces for dining, entertaining, play, and relaxation, including a luxurious hot tub. We resolved severe drainage issues to ensure the yard stays functional and beautiful year-round. A perfect balance of practicality and comfort for family life!"

The approach to this backyard was to turn the orientation of the design to take attention away from the squareness of the space. A cozy conversation nook was designed with a raised planter behind.

Created for a young family in Borough Park, Brooklyn, this multi-level garden was designed for celebration, relaxation, and connection—welcoming everyone from toddlers to grandparents. A custom pergola, built to accommodate Sukkot, anchors the space and can adapt from toddler swings to teen-friendly hanging chairs. A soothing waterfall adds a calming soundtrack, while a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, framed by a dramatic Corten steel wall, sets the stage for festive meals and large family gatherings. Vertical niches planted with Euonymus—shaped into future topiary—feature mirrored strips of varying sizes, discreetly bouncing light into this shaded garden and adding a touch of shimmer. LED-lit steps connect the two levels, and a glass handrail offers safety without visual interruption. Subway grating over the basement entry adds usable space while drawing daylight into the stairwell below. This is a garden built for every season and every generation—a true extension of home and tradition.
