Before & After: Prospect Heights Backyard Garden

The Prospect Heights, Brooklyn backyard featured in this post is a big space (by Brooklyn standards) that needed some big changes.

Our challenges: removing invasive Japanese knotweed, building a bluestone patio, creating a sense of borders without constructing a fence, and designing a kid/adult/pet friendly space that the whole family could enjoy.

Our solutions: curvaceous planting beds to soften the "rectangle" and balance out the lawn, tons of non-toxic native perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees for 4 seasons of interest, a raised vegetable bed, and a natural play area with re-purposed local tree stumps.

Check out this project and more on our website.
