Yes landscaping Custom

In 2006 a condo conversion included two additional floors to an 1889 Brooklyn firehouse on Dean Street. Greenzone Landscape was recently commissioned to transform the contractors blank terrace. 

The biggest challenge of this project has been to design and install a steel structural support system for an African mahogany trellis/planter without attaching any fasteners to the adjoining building. Cor-ten supports were manufactured in Dumbo to solve the problem.

Cor-ten steel cladding and planters were also custom-made in Dumbo to frame the space, decrease the masonry eyesore and create a modern exterior that mimics the clients modern interior.

An array of white and yellow hanging planters are in the works for the balcony railing.

Ornamental grasses, and trailing perennials will be planted in the spring.

One of the biggest challenges of this project was breaking down the trees and planter boxes and safely removing them from the site. Carting 100 bags of debris through a clients apartment and the remaining building can be tricky and requires patience and focused attention.
