"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.

Terrace garden
Design ideas for a modern landscaping in New York.

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.
