NYC Garden Storage

Your urban garden can be a great place to unwind and enjoy some peace in the busy landscape of NYC, though unfortunately over the course of your home ownership, your garden may need to be moved around for various reasons.

Most often building maintenance requires garden owners to temporarily move planters, irrigation, and furniture to allow for the construction teams to perform their work.

Metropolitan Garden Design provides a garden storage service where we can move your pots, furniture, and other garden features to safety store them until your construction has finished. When the construction work has finished, we can bring back your garden furnishings and install the irrigation, lighting, and plantings as needed.

Often scaffolding and construction teams will take over NYC terrace gardens. Planters and pots are often moved to allow for work to take place. It’s sometimes possible that plants can be moved to other areas of the terrace and irrigation can be connected to keep them alive.
