We offer garden maintenance services in New York City such as:
Plant Healthcare: At Metropolitan Garden Design, we believe in a holistic approach to garden care and maintenance. Our goal is to plant and maintain healthy plants, so that they face less problems in the future. By continuously caring for plants through all seasons, they become more adept to warding off serious problems. With our regular garden maintenance visits throughout NYC, we often address problems before they become a serious issue. Our NYC gardeners are well suited to watch after and encourage your gardens growth
Pruning: There is no doubt that pruning helps with the aesthetic appeal of your garden or yard by eliminating dead, ugly or unruly branches or plant parts. However, pruning services are an essential part of garden maintenance as it enhances the overall health and quality of a plant or flower. Our NYC urban gardner’s are well equipped to prune your evergreen, perennials and annual plants.
Seasonal Plantings: Blossoming flowers make us think of Spring. However, there are plants that are intended for all seasons so that your backyard garden or landscaped rooftop can stay neat and beautiful through all of New York’s varied seasons. We always love summer annuals that will bring color throughout the warmer month, but bulbs can also be planted so that there are early spring flowers. We can also install more ornamental winter designs so that there is interest throughout the winter months.
Fertilizing: A main part of proper garden maintenance in New York City is fertilization. Our professionals apply fertilization applications in the Spring and Fall to ensure that your garden adequately absorbs the fertilizer and responds accordingly. We can also retrofit your drip irrigation system so that it automatically dispenses fertilizer with every watering session.
General Outdoor Cleaning: Nothing detracts from the beauty, health and feel of a garden like overgrown weeds, debris and other eyesores. Metropolitan Garden Design performs general outdoor cleaning to ensure that your garden remains a beautiful, relaxing part of your home. Our New York City gardeners are happy to go beyond just the garden and we understand that a successful garden maintenance visit is both about the plants and the space.
Pressure Washing: Over time natural stone patios and wooden decks can become blemished with the growth of algae or other pollution found in NYC. Metropolitan Garden Design can improve your outdoor space whether it be your townhouse backyard patio or rooftop deck. We can also restore your wooden outdoor garden furniture to the way it once was. An annual pressure washing should be apart of any NYC garden maintenance package.
Sweeping: We pride ourselves on always leaving your urban garden clean and clear of any debris. On completion of our garden maintenance visits our gardeners will sweep up your pavers, wooden deck or natural stone so that you are all ready to go out and enjoy your New York City garden. We also can apply a soap solution to thoroughly clean up your outdoor surface.
Drainage: issues are often found in New York City’s planter box gardens. Often times drainage wasn’t properly addressed when your garden boxes were planted. If you see water pooling in your planter box or pot, you’ll need to act fast. We can assist with installing proper gravel drainage for your above ground urban garden. Our NYC gardeners will need to remove your existing plants and soil to install a gravel base, filter fabric and fresh soil. Once finished your planter will allow water to flow at a much faster rate and drainage will no longer be an issue.
Transplanting: Oftentimes rooftop and terrace gardens will require their potted plants to be transplanted into new planter boxes or be root pruned. We can assist with removing your existing plants and getting them safely into a new pot or planter. We will take care to protect the floor and upon completion we will reconnect your drip irrigation system.
Mulching: New York Cities hot summer can easily dry out your urban garden. Besides a good drip irrigation system, mulch is an essential component to keeping your plants moist and healthy. We provide New York City with reliable mulching services for rooftop, terrace and backyard gardens. We always recommended applying mulch with any above ground planting and its highly recommended to mulch before the winter freeze.
Winterization: New York Cities winters can be tough on your urban garden. If your located on a very windy terrace or rooftop, we recommend taking actions to protect some of your vulnerable plants. When our gardeners winterize your garden, they will often find it necessary to apply a thick layer of mulch. Additionally, a burlap barrier can be created if the wind poses a serious threat. A proper winterization garden maintenance session can be crucial for your NYC garden.
